Maintenance Procedures
To ensure accurate test results, properly clean and maintain MAGPIX. Read and follow all
instructions in this chapter. To facilitate your maintenance process, print out and use the
maintenance logs on page 58.
General Maintenance Precautions
Observe the following general maintenance precautions, which were explained in more
detail in the previous chapters:
•
Personnel who use, maintain, or clean MAGPIX should be trained in standard
laboratory safety practices and should follow those practices when handling the
instrument.
•
Samples and waste fluid can contain biohazardous material. Where exposure to
biohazardous material, including in an aerosol form, exists, follow appropriate biosafety
procedures, use personal protective equipment, and use ventilation devices.
•
Avoid contact with moving parts. Disconnect the instrument from the power source
when the procedure instructs you to do so.
•
Do not remove the cover of MAGPIX. All maintenance can be performed from the
outside of the instrument, within the fluid compartment, or within the compartment that
is accessible by opening the side access door.
