Under normal operation, the CentriVap Complete requires little maintenance.
The following maintenance schedule is recommended. Before servicing the
CentriVap, disconnect electrical power. Special precautions must be observed if
materials used in the CentriVap are known to be hazardous, toxic, radioactive or
contaminated with pathogenic micro organisms. Before servicing, the CentriVap
must be suitably decontaminated. Wear appropriate eyewear, gloves and other
safety apparel.
As needed:
Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except those recommended
by the manufacturer, users should check with the manufacturer that the proposed
method will not damage equipment.
1. Clean up all spills; remove liquids from the chamber. Clean or decontaminate
all surfaces using agents suitable for the substance spilled.
2. Clean lid and gasket using soft cloth, sponge or chamois and a mild, non-
abrasive soap or detergent.
3. Utilization of acids requires immediate cleaning and neutralization after a run
or physical damage to the stainless steel collection chamber will result.
4. Check the Cold Trap for condensed or frozen solvents and dispose of
appropriately. Completely empty the trap before the next run.
5. If the media in the optional clear canister has changed color, discard and
replace the insert with a new insert. For the radiochemical trap insert, no
indicator exists; therefore, it should be discarded after each use. In radioactive
applications, the system should be monitored with a Geiger counter.
6. Check rotors for loose or missing parts. Tighten or replace as required. Do
not use defective rotors.
7. Inspect the chamber to insure that there are not cracks or structural damage.
Call Labconco if defects exist.
