14.10 Clogging in Aspiration Tube
In case the sample is not aspirated, a clogging within the aspiration tube might be
the source. To minimize these problems, inspect always the sample for visible
clogs before aspiration.
Please go to www.medonic.se/cleaning/ and download the movie sequence #1
how to rinse the aspiration tube with a syringe.
1. Switch off the instrument and open the front ‘door’.
2. Remove the tube from the shear valve towards the blood detector device.
3. Connect a syringe filled with hypochlorit (ca. 4%) at the shear valve.
4. Move the syringe plunger for- and backwards.
5. Restart the instrument and run a “blank”.
Warning
Pin hazard
Always make sure that the

ing parts in the instrument.
