restore operation.
i. Fluid Out BD FACSFlow solution port
j. Communication Data port
k. Power In Connects to cytometer. Do not connect to
wall outlet
l. Auxiliary Air In There will be no tubing on this port unless
connected to house air.
m. Air Out Sends compressed air to cytometer
n. Waste Waste in (non-aspirated)
o. Waste Waste in (aspirated)
If you are changing the sensor on the waste container, use proper
precaution and wear suitable protective clothing, eyewear, and gloves. All
biological specimens, and materials coming into contact with them, can
transmit potentially fatal disease.
The waste container can become pressurized when the cytometer is
running. Always disconnect the waste container from the fluidics cart and
wait at least 30 seconds for pressure to dissipate before you remove the
level sensor cap.
