4.1 Frequency of Maintenance
This section lists the parts that require maintenance and the standard frequency to perform maintenance tasks.
Referring to the table below, clean or replace the parts at recommended intervals.
*1 The frequency for these maintenance tasks is for reference only. Actual replacement needs will differ according
to the number of measurements per batch or other conditions. These figures are based on 50 measurements divided
into 20 batches (2.5 measurements per batch on average). Variant mode figures for eluent CV (600 mL) are based
on 15 measurements per day and for eluent CV-S (200 mL) on 5 measurements per day.
*2 The frequency for these maintenance tasks is based on the assumption that 50 measurements are performed per
day, for 20 days per month.
 Wear protective gloves to prevent exposure to pathogenic microbes when performing
maintenance tasks marked with a checkmark ().
 Discard liquid waste, used parts and cleaning tools in accordance with local regulations for
biohazardous waste.
