7.1.3 Smart clean
The smart cleaning prepares the ASP300 S for transport. During a smart
clean, a series of air cleaning steps will be applied which will remove any
excess liquid (condensate) from all internal tubing.
Before starting a smart cleaning, a complete retort cleaning program must
be carried out in the ASP300 S.
To start a smart clean, press the SMART CLEAN button on the MORE MENU
FUNCTIONS screen and press OK to confirm.
The smart clean itself takes approx. 15 minutes and consists of 3 phases:
3rd phase:
Prior to starting the smart clean make sure all reagent containers are
correctly inserted and connected.
All internal tubing is cleaned with compressed air to force any remaining
reagents back into the reagent containers.
Phase 2
Before phase 2 starts, the operator is prompted to remove all reagent
containers from the instrument.
All internal tubing is again cleaned with compressed air.
Phase 3
When phase 3 starts, the operator is prompted to place an empty container
in station 11.
The tubing is once again cleaned with pressurized air; any remaining
reagent residues are forced back into station 11.

7. Cleaning and Maintenance
Empty and clean all reagent bottles thoroughly before reinsert-
ing them into the instrument to make sure there will be no reagent
spills from the bottles that could cause damage during transport.
