Chapter 6 Daily Routine
Waste bottles are sealed with red caps. Each waste bottle has a run time of about 4 hr and must be
emptied when full. Everest Software provides warnings 1 hr, 30 min, and 5 min before both waste
bottles are nearly full, allowing you to swap the fluidics. If the waste bottles are not changed before
they are full, the system shuts down to avoid overfilling.
The sheath/DI water bottles are sealed with blue caps. Each sheath bottle has a run time of about 4 hr
and must be filled when empty. Everest Software provides warnings 1 hr, 30 min, and 5 min before the
sheath bottles are nearly empty, allowing you to swap the fluidics. To avoid running the system dry,
shutdown occurs when 5 min of sheath fluid remain.
