CELL-DYN ® 3200 System Operator's Manual
9140181H—October 2001
The CELL-DYN 3200 is designed to require minimal routine maintenance. For
example:
• The fluidics are automatically rinsed between samples.
• The instrument is automatically placed in the Standby state if it has been idle
for four hours after the last cycle is completed.
The operator is encouraged to routinely perform the required maintenance in order
to ensure optimum performance. This section describes the recommended
preventive maintenance procedures for the Analyzer. Instructions are also given for
preparing the instrument for a prolonged period of inactivity.
Many required preventative maintenance procedures have been automated on the
CELL-DYN 3200. These programs can be accessed by pressing the
[SPECIAL PROTOCOLS] key. The SPECIAL PROTOCOLS menu is discussed in the
next section followed by a discussion of Preventive Maintenance Schedule
Procedures.
