10 Maintaining Your Analyzer
10.1 Introduction
Routine preventive maintenance and cleaning are required to keep the BC-3000 Plus in good
operating condition. Cleanliness is important in keeping your analyzer operating efficiently
and accurately. The analyzer has automatic cleaning functions that are performed during
normal operation. These built-in functions keep the fluidic system clean.
In spite of the automatic cleaning functions, Mindray encourages you to routinely perform the
required maintenance to lengthen the operational life of your analyzer and to minimize
system problems that lead to imprecision and inaccuracy. This chapter describes the
recommended preventive maintenance procedures and provides instructions for preparing
the analyzer for an extended period of inactivity.
z Do not perform any maintenance procedures that are not described in this
chapter. Performing unauthorized maintenance procedures can damage
your analyzer.
z In case of problems not specified in this manual, contact Mindray customer
service department or your local distributor for assistance.
z Only Mindray-supplied parts can be used for maintenance. For any
questions, contact Mindray customer service department or your local
distributor.
