From this screen, the user enters the appropriate due dates for instrument
calibration and / or preventative maintenance (PM). A service due dialog appears
on the Main screen when these dates arrive. The
icon remains
displayed on the Main screen until the dates are updated.
8.2. Rinse Cups (for use with VK 8000)
If the 708-DS is configured with a VK8000 Dissolution Sampling Station or is part
of an online software solution, the sample lines require a routine rinsing after
each test. Easy-to-attach rinse cups are provided to make the flushing of the
tubing simple and efficient.
To achieve this, fill the rinse cups with the
cleaning solution desired and attach a cup
to each shaft.
The sample cannulas must be sufficiently
immersed in the solution. The return
cannulas can either be contained in the cup
or allowed to drip into the vessel.
The bottom of the cup rests on either the
paddle blade or the basket clip attachment.
Then, activate the pump configured with the
system until the tubing loop is sufficiently
cleansed.

Finally, detach the rinse cups, place them in their transport tray, dispose of the
waste, and rinse the cups to be ready for their next use.
8.3. Vessels (TruAlign), Shafts, Evaporation Covers
The dissolution accessories that accompany the 708-DS require equivalent care
as with previous Agilent models or other traditional apparatus. This includes the
TruAlign vessels (glass), basket and paddle shafts, and evaporation covers. The
components are primarily the same and thus the cleaning procedures used in the
past should be carried forward.
