ABL77 Service Manual Chapter 8: Maintenance
Long-Term Storage
Introduction
This topic describes the necessary steps to flush an analyzer before any period (>24
hours) of long-term storage.
CAUTION: Pushing the syringe plunger too hard can damage internal tubing
connections and cause leaks.
WARNING/
CAUTION:
CAUTION: Be prepared to collect waste fluids flowing from open luers.
NOTE:
Salt crystals may form periodically in the analyzer fluid path if the analyzer is
turned off for extended periods of time. This tendency is accelerated if a cal pack
and sensor cassette are not left on the analyzer. These crystals will form
obstructions in the fluid path.
