As
Needed
Clean panel stations if they become contaminated by a leaking panel. Limit the extent of the contamination and then decontaminate the
panel location(s) and other accessible instrument areas receiving the spill.
• If the spill extends into regions of the carousel that are not accessible, contact your local BD service representative.
• The solution recommended to clean the affected surfaces should be at least a 10% household bleach solution. If the extent of the
contamination is uncertain, thoroughly wash the exposed portions of the carousel and cabinet with the freshly prepared
bleach solution.
Air
Filter
The filter should be checked monthly and cleaned/replaced if needed. If the instrument's environment is especially dusty, the air intake filter
should be checked more frequently and cleaned or replaced if needed. The filter must remain clean and unobstructed; restricted airflow
from a dirty filter may cause the instrument interior to reach excessive temperatures, which can affect results and possibly cause hardware
malfunctions or failures.
