Emptying the Waste Bottle
NOTE: Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics recommends that
approximately 10 mL of disinfectant or sodium hypochlorite is put into
the waste bottle before placing it in position.
5. Replace the waste bottle:
a. Tilt the top of the bottle away from you and slide the bottle into
position.
b. Check that the neck of the waste bottle is positioned underneath
the rubber cap. The waste cap spout should be inside the neck of
the waste bottle.

Changing the Reagents
Check the reagent levels and ‘change by’ date regularly. If either the
Buffer Pack or Wash bottle is empty, or if the Buffer bottle is past the
‘change by’ date replace it as follows.
1. Stop the 248 system:
From Ready press # for menu, 2 for Maintenance and 5 for Stop
System.
2. Raise the front cover and remove the empty bottle. The Wash bottle
and the 7.3 buffer bottle from the Buffer Pack can both be used as
new waste bottles.
a. Peel off the top label from the top righthand corner to expose a
waste label. To use the 7.3 buffer bottle separate the label at the
perforation. Slide the 6.8 buffer bottle off and discard.
3. Remove the cap from the replacement bottle.
4. Feed the bottle tubing into the neck of the bottle and into the
solution.
