Transport cover
— An extra plain cap without tubing fittings is included with the ThinPrep pro-
cessor for transporting the waste bottle. Place this cover on the waste bottle when transporting to
the disposal area.

Waste disposal
—
Dispose of all solvents as hazardous waste. Follow local, state, provincial
and federal or county guidelines. As with all laboratory procedures, universal precautions
should be followed.
PreservCyt Solution contains methanol. See Chapter 3, “PreservCyt Solu-
tion”, for more information about PreservCyt Solution.
5.
O-ring seal
— Inspect the O-ring seal located on the inside of the waste cap assembly for any
debris. If required, clean the seal with deionized, or distilled, water using a lint-free wipe and
apply a thin layer of lubricant grease to the O-ring from the tube included with the ThinPrep
2000 processor.
6.
Cap replacement
— Replace the waste cap onto the bottle being careful not to pinch the tubing
located on the inside of the waste cap assembly.
7.
Inspection
— Make sure the waste cap is firmly tightened. The waste cap must be tight for
proper waste bottle operation.
Check that the waste tubing between the waste bottle assembly and the ThinPrep processor is not
pinched or twisted.
8. Check that the quick disconnect fittings located at the rear of the ThinPrep processor are secure.
See Chapter 2, “ThinPrep 2000 Installation”, for details.
