Changing the sheath filter
Introduction
This topic describes how to change the sheath filter. The sheath filter is connected in-line with the sheath line. It
filters the sheath fluid as it comes from the sheath container.
When to change the sheath filter
We recommend changing the sheath filter assembly every sixmonths. Increased debris appearing in an FSC vs
SSC plot can indicate that the sheath filter needs to be replaced. See Supplies and consumables (page 111) for
ordering information.
