A-6- Analyser long stoppage period
When the analyser has been inactive for more than 2 days, a specific procedure for stopping the analyser must
be applied. The procedure will depend on the duration of the stoppage.
•
Less than 14 days: the analyser will be placed in standby mode, with a daily automatic wake-up. A startup
procedure will be automatically performed every day. Ancillary reagents will be kept on-board, except AP
Substrate.
•
Between 15 and 30 days: the analyser will be switched off completely, after a decontamination of the
TRIGGERS A and B fluidic circuits.
If the analyser must be stopped for a period longer than one month, contact the Technical Services.
!
TRIGGER A and TRIGGER B solutions must not be kept on-board during long periods of
inactivity (more than two weeks).
TRIGGER B solution may damage the fluidic circuit pump and may have an impact on CCS
results.
A6-1-Less than 14 days
The analyser is placed in standby mode, with a daily automatic wake-up. Ancillary reagents are kept on-board,
except AP Substrate. A startup procedure is automatically performed every day.
For systems using AP Substrate, a cleaning procedure of the AP Substrate fluidic circuit must be carried out.
The AP Substrate tubing rising maintenance, included in the monthly maintenance, will be used to carry out
this procedure.
Each startup procedure will use the following products:
!
As the solid waste will be full after 14 days, the automatic startup will no longer be performed.
When the spectrophotometer is deactivated, the solid waste will be full after 3 days and the
automatic startup will no longer be performed.
