About this chapter
ÄKTA ready uses ReadyToProcess flow kits. Maintenance tasks performed by the user
are therefore few and simple. Regular maintenance is, however, important for safe and
trouble-free operation of the ÄKTA ready. This chapter provides instructions for mainte-
nance by the user and for replacing spare parts. Preventive maintenance should be
performed on a yearly basis by qualified service personnel authorized by GE Healthcare.
Contact your GE Healthcare representative for more service information.
