5.5.11 Probe Cleanser Maintenance (Shutdown Sequence)
The probe cleanser maintenance during the shutdown process involves the following parts: the front
and back baths of WBC and RBC baths, back bath tubing, sample probe as well as sampling tubing.
The analyzer will perform "enhanced" probe cleanser maintenance after 1000 analyses. Compared with
normal probe cleanser maintenance, the enhanced process uses a longer probe cleanser soak time (1
minute longer than normal maintenance).
Tap "Fluidic" on the "Maintenance" screen, the analyzer will perform enhanced probe cleanser maintenance.
5.5.12 Cleaning Procedure during Startup
The fluidic actions during the startup consist of the following parts:
Initialization of fluidic components: initialize the aspiration module and syringe module, build and
release vacuum.
Overall cleaning: clean all the tubes, parts and components of the analyzer. Remove bubbles in
the diluent preheating bath. No lyse is consumed.
Background check: under whole blood mode.
If the background does not pass, the analyzer will perform the overall cleaning procedure one more
time, and then check the background again.
When the analyzer starts after abnormal shutdown, it will perform the overall cleaning procedure twice.
5.5.13 Standby
The analyzer enters "Standby" mode when there is no action perform for 30~60 minutes (configurable,
30 minutes by default). When the analyzer is standby, you can still perform operations not involving
fluidic actions.
Exit standby status1: standby for less than 1 hour.
Clean the exterior wall of sample probe and WBC bath, re-build isolation bubbles. The process
does not consume lyse.
Exit standby status2: standby for more than 1 hours.
Equivalent of overall cleaning; all the tubing, parts and components will be cleaned, remove
bubbles in the diluent preheating bath, remove the crystallization and bubbles at the diluent inlet.
