Luminex SD
Problems
If the empty sheath fluid container is not replaced and the system
continues to operate, the Luminex SD system eventually vents
pressure to prevent air from being introduced into the Luminex 200
analyzer. This may interrupt a sample and prevent further samples
from being collected.
Filter If the filter attached to the sheath intake line becomes clogged from
extended use, an alarm will sound even though the bulk sheath
container is not empty. If this happens, replace the filter, part number
CN-0037-01.
Malfunction If the alarm sounds even though the bulk sheath container has fluid
and the sheath filter is in good condition, the system is reporting a
malfunction. If this happens, contact Luminex Technical Support.
Draining the Reservoir If you need to ship the Luminex SD system back to Luminex
Corporation, drain the reservoir before you pack the system.
1. Perform a warmup to pressurize the system.
2. Leave the green air tubing connected between the Luminex 200
analyzer and the SD system.
3. On the SD front panel, disconnect the blue tubing from the
intake labeled Sheath Out and disconnect the white tubing from
the intake labeled Sheath In.
4. Insert the white tubing into the intake labeled Sheath Out and
insert the blue tubing into the intake labeled Sheath In.
5. Turn the unit off and then on again.
6. Press the Prime button on the front panel of the SD system.
7. Sheath fluid will pump from the Sheath Delivery System
reservoir into the 20L Sheath Box.
To refill the Sheath Delivery System, reconnect the tubing according
to color coding and press the Prime button on the SD.
Contact Technical Support for additional information.
