You can soak the baths and fluidic lines with the probe cleanser, an alkaline detergent, by
performing the “Probe cleanser cleaning” procedure. If your analyzer is to run 24 hours a
day, you should perform this procedure every 3 days. If you follow the shutdown procedure to
turn off your analyzer everyday, you should perform this procedure every week.
Follow the steps given below to do so:
1. At the “Maintenance” screen, SELECT “Probe Cleanser Cleaning”.
2. Present the cleanser to the probe and press [ENTER] to aspirate the cleanser. When
you hear the beep and the sample probe is out of the bottle, remove the cleanser.
