i1000SR Preventative Maintenance Procedure
Table Caption: This table outlines pre-site and on-site investigative procedures, along with SCC/Module shutdown steps, for instrument maintenance. It details tasks to be completed, including verifying customer issues, ensuring parts availability, checking system status, reviewing logs, and performing physical checks and maintenance on the instrument.
Replace reagent cooler condensate inline filter, as needed.
(R&R K2.08 Waste Pump Head) / (R&R K2.08 Waste
Replace waste pump head, as needed. Pump Head)
Replace in-line waste pump to pressure switch tubing check valve, as needed. Inspect & secure cable connections on fluidics distribution board & sensors, as needed.
Perform MD 3181 Vacuum Diagnostics to check system health, if check fails:
- Check fittings on vacuum accumulator cap for cracks & kinked tubing.
- Flush out vacuum accumulator bottle if build-up is present. Ensure cap is tight
Bulk Solution / Waste Area
Inspect area for leaks & dried buffer buildup; clean as needed.
Clean area of RVs, dust, etc.
Verify tubing connections are tight.
Verify waste platform movement is not obstructed.
Inspect Pre-Trig / Trig level sensor fittings for cracks and/or kinked tubing.
Clean out Pre-Trigger / Trigger Tray
Completed
| Lower Fluidics Area | Completed |
|---|---|
| Inspect external waste pump (if present) tubing & connections. Power off external waste pump and clean as needed. | |
| Process Path | Completed |
| Inspect & clean the Wash zone & PT / T manifold assemblies. Perform MD2057WZ Pressure Test and replace any WZ valves that fail. Utilize ISA 117-007(latest revision) for cleaning tips & techniques Verify date codes for Trigger / Pretrigger manifold valves and replace if > 2years Write installation date on replacement Trigger / Pre-Trigger Valves for future 2 yr date verification Inspect & clean the Process Path cover. Clean all buffer build-up & ensure lane rotators do not bind Remove, inspect, & clean (2) Vortexers Verify Vortexer cups move freely & cable connections are secure Inspect for Trigger leakage around CMIA Reader & Shutter solenoid, clean as needed. If optics must be removed for cleaning, ensure the maintenance cap is applied to the light pipe Verify shutter solenoid movement is not obstructed Clean & inspect process path disk, track, and home sensor Inspect disc for grooves, etching, & wear Common process path problem areas: wash zones, vortexers, diverters, & optics Verify RV Present switch arm moves freely. Clean & inspect process path LLS antenna; verify cable connections are secure. (R&R E2.02 LLS Antenna Process Path) / (R&R E2.02 LLS Antenna Process Path) |
