Regularly, as required. Replace the sheath fluid as required.
Weekly. Visually inspect the Luminex SD system and its
connections for leaks. If you see a leak, turn off the power to the
Luminex SD system and contact Luminex Corporation.
Monthly. Turn off the power to the Luminex SD system. Clean the
exterior surfaces by wiping with mild germicidal detergent, followed
by a 10%-20% bleach solution. Use glass cleaner and a soft cloth to
clean the reservoir window.
Troubleshooting
If the empty bulk sheath fluid container is not replaced and the
system continues to operate, the Luminex SD system eventually
vents pressure to prevent air from being introduced into the Luminex
100 analyzer. This may interrupt a sample and prevent further
samples from being collected.
Filter. If the filter attached to the sheath intake line becomes clogged
from extended use, an alarm will sound even though the bulk sheath
container is not empty. If this happens, contact Luminex Technical
Support for a replacement filter.
Malfunction. If the alarm sounds even though the bulk sheath
container has fluid and the sheath filter is in good condition, the
system is reporting a malfunction. If this happens, please call
Technical Support.
Draining the Sheath Delivery system reservoir. If you need
to ship the Luminex SD system back to Luminex Corporation, drain
the reservoir before you pack the system. Call Technical Support for
additional information.
