The RBC/PLT aperture plate is automatically cleaned during the

Auto-Clean procedure. However, occasionally it may be necessary to

remove the aperture plate for cleaning. Refer to the instrument logbook

to find the latest baseline count time. Use the baseline count time to

determine the frequency of cleaning needed.

NOTE: The count time is displayed on the

right of the MPV result. The count time is also displayed on the

RAW DATA SUMMARY Screen

The RBC/PLT aperture should be cleaned if the count time differs from

the baseline value by more than 0.4 seconds or if there are frequent RBC

CLOG messages. The RBC/PLT aperture plate is located in the RBC/

PLT transducer assembly.

The transducer assembly is depicted in Figure 9.13.
