Troubleshooting
HARDwARE AND CULTUREwARE
Pumps
To ensure optimum performance, the peristaltic pumps should be cleaned after each culture run. Media spills and small pieces of worn pump tubing may be trapped inside the plastic housing and should be removed. Wipe the interior of each plastic shell with a cloth or paper towel soaked in disinfectant or alcohol.
Wipe the surface of the metal rollers with a cloth or paper towel soaked in alcohol. Allow any moisture to evaporate before you re-assemble the pump head.
Each pump head requires two white, teflon washers. Replacements must be installed before the next run. See Appendix B, Ordering Information.
Note: Do not soak the pump head or rollers in alcohol because it will strip away the necessary lubricant.
Cultureware
Each cultureware assembly is assigned a lot number which may be used to trace defects specific to a certain build. This number is located on the left corner of the tray (near the Outflow tubing). In addition, the shipping box for the cultureware has a manufacturing number which identifies the sterilization lot. These numbers should be recorded and used when any cultureware problem is brought to the attention of Account Services.
