Maintenance Chapter 9
The maintenance schedule outlined on the following page will minimize
operational problems with the CELL-DYN 3000. The recommended
intervals are based on instruments operating in laboratories that process
samples from a general patient population. The intervals are affected by
the volume of samples processed, the workload schedule, the operating
environment and the patient population that is analyzed. Each laboratory
must assess its own situation and modify these recommended intervals as
necessary. Overdue maintenance is usually indicated by an increase in
imprecision of one or more of the directly measured parameters. This
increase is due to carryover or dilution/sampling inconsistencies. If this
occurs, the appropriate maintenance should be performed more
frequently. A diagram of the Analyzer flow panel is included to assist in
component identification and location (Figure9.1)
