Wash/Waste Cartridge

The wash/waste cartridge is self contained and non-serviceable. It is
protected by a door that locks in place. The door provides an electrostatic
shield for the measurement system. A mechanical microswitch senses
when the door is open or closed.
The cartridge contains the wash fluid, which cleans the sample path after
analysis and calibration. The cartridge also contains the waste bag, which
stores liquid waste. The wash/waste cartridge consists of the following
components:
• seal septums
