The PCS2 is designed to require minimal maintenance. The maintenance
the operator must perform consists primarily of cleaning the PCS2. A
record should be kept of the date and type of maintenance performed.
Haemonetics also recommends that a full preventive maintenance checkup
be performed annually by a Haemonetics Service Representative to assure
maximum machine performance.
As with any precision instrument, the PCS2 must be cleaned periodically.
The frequency and type of cleaning will depend on the number of
procedures performed with the PCS2. Following are instructions for
cleaning the various components of the PCS2.
