9 Maintenance
9.1 Overview
As well as the routine maintenance by the user (described in the User Manual), the
Service Technician carries out an in-depth maintenance at least twice a year. This
chapter provides a checklist of things to do as part of that in-depth maintenance.
Note: The preventive Maintenance for Microlab Star IVD Instruments must carried
out every 6 months!
In order to ensure error-free operation of the instrument, the content of the
maintenance and verification procedures, and the intervals at which these are to be
carried out, must be adhered to, and the work must be documented.
Attention: The preventive maintenance must only be done by an authorized Service
Technician.
Service Technicians as well as laboratory personnel should be aware of the danger
of infection where instruments are used to sample biohazardous materials. In such
cases the instrument or parts of it are said to be contaminated. As Service
Technician you should be aware if an instrument you are servicing has been
contaminated in this way. Contaminated parts to be touched while repairing should
be cleaned and sterilized – a precautionary measure of the greatest importance.
Only after cleaning and disinfecting should repairs be carried out.
Attention: Wear Gloves before repairing the Instrument and decontaminate
