160 BD FACSCanto II Instructions for Use
Decontaminating the Fluidics System (Long Clean)
NOTICE This procedure takes about 75 minutes to complete.
1 Check all fluid levels. Empty the waste if needed.
2 Select Cytometer > Cleaning Modes > Long Clean.
A confirmation dialog is displayed.
3 Click OK to continue. Once you have begun the Long Clean, you cannot
abort the process.
4 Click OK when the completion message appears.
5 Choose to shut down or continue.
• To shut down, quit the software and turn off the power to the
cytometer.
• To continue, choose Cytometer > Fluidics Startup.
Tip If setup fails after a long clean, repeat Fluidics Startup until setup
passes.
The Cytometer menu in BD FACSCanto clinical software differs slightly
from the BD FACSDiva Cytometer menu. Instructions in this and the
following sections list the BD FACSCanto menu first, followed by the
BD FACSDiva menu, in parentheses.
If the completion message has not appeared after 90 minutes, verify that
there are no error messages in the Status tab of the Cytometer window. If
the cleaning mode fails, see Fluidics Cart Troubleshooting on page 198.
