Disinfecting Instructions
All surfaces can be disinfected with bleach using a mixture of 1 cup of bleach per gallon of
water. Wipe all surfaces using a non-abrasive cloth lightly dampened with the bleach mixture.
After disinfecting, wipe dry with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
All surfaces can also be wiped with soft cloth lightly dampened with alcohol, such as an
alcohol prep pad. After wiping, the surface can be left to air dry.
Liner
Remove the Liner from the Well Counter and disinfect as directed above. Replace the
Liner in the Well Counter.
CAUTION: Never use the CAPTUS
®
4000e without the Well Counter liner in place.
Liners are inexpensive and easy to replace. A contaminated Well
Counter is a very costly mistake.
Printer
Refer to the printer owner’s manual for proper cleaning procedures.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The following preventative maintenance should be performed at the specified intervals.
General cleaning is at the discretion of the user (see Cleaning Instructions above). It is
recommended to periodically perform the Quality Assurance Tests as described in
CHAPTER 5: QUALITY ASSURANCE TESTS.
Tests must be performed in an environment where the temperature is stable within a range
of +50°F to +85°F (+10°C to +30°C) and the maximum relative humidity is 90% non-
condensing. The unit should be powered-up for at least one-half hour prior to performing any
measurements. No other precautions are necessary.
CAUTION: If these environmental requirements are not followed, the instrument may
display erroneous readings.
Note: Never put a sharp instrument like a pen into the Well or Collimator. If the aluminum
coating of the NaI Detector is scratched, allowing light and moisture to penetrate, the
Detector will be ruined. The Rod Source is plastic and can be safely placed against
the surface of the Detectors when handled carefully.
If the unit fails to pass the Auto Calibration or any other test, the user should not attempt to
perform any adjustments to the system. In such an event, please contact Capintec’s only
Authorized Service Center for further assistance.
Quality Assurance tests should be immediately performed if:
• The equipment has been subjected to extreme physical stress,
• Liquids enter the computer/monitor, and/or probe and well detectors, or
• Any cable shows signed of damage.
