Contents
1.
Enzymatic Cleaner, 450 mL, blue-colored solution
2.
Hypochlorite Cleaner; 450 mL, yellow-colored solution
3.
Detergent Cleaner, 450 mL, red-colored solution

intervals:
Less than 50 samples/day →
More than 50 samples/day →
→
100-200 samples/day
Procedure
It is very important that the cleaning procedure is performed in the
correct order (or it may result in high PLT background counts).
The following order must be followed:
1) Enzymatic Cleaner (enzyme solution - blue cap)
2) Hypochlorite (2% solution - white cap)
3) Detergent Cleaner (detergent solution - red cap)
Proceed as follows:
1. Firstly, remove the diluent and lyse level sensors from their
containers.
2. Press [MENU] on the touch screen, then [ADVANCED],
then [MAINTENANCE], and then [CLEANING MENU]
to enter the Cleaning Menu.
3. Press [CLEAN CYCLE EMPTY] and wait for the system
to empty.
4. Wet a soft tissue with the proper cleaning solution (e.g. the
first time use Enzymatic Cleaner) and wipe both level
sensors clean on the outside. Then insert both level sensors
directly into the cleaning solution bottle.
5. From Cleaning Menu press [CLEAN CYCLE FILL].
Allow the system to fill up with the cleaning solution and

for the cleaner to work.
6. Remove both level sensors and press [CLEAN CYCLE
EMPTY]. Allow the system to empty completely.
7. Repeat step 4 to 6 using the Hypochlorite (white) followed
by the Detergent Cleaner (red).
8. Finally take a soft tissue and wet it with Diluent (not Lyse)
and wipe off any remaining cleaner from the level sensors.
Make sure that a soft and dry tissue is used to dry the level
sensors from all remaining liquid. When level sensors are
clean insert both back into the original reagent containers.
(Be sure not to interchange the Diluent and Lyse level
sensors.)
9. From Cleaning Menu press [CLEAN CYCLE FILL], wait
until this cycle is completed.
10. The background count should not exceed the recommended
values, which is stated in the User manual. Perform a
minimum of 3 background counts before analyzing the
next sample.
Notes
-
As the volume in the cleaning bottles will decrease during
the cleaning cycles, be sure to secure the bottles to avoid
tilting.
-
During the described cleaning process above, some
foaming might occur on the aspiration needle. Remove
foam with a soft tissue.
- In case of heavy contaminated systems, it is recommended
to warm the detergent to 45-55 °C prior to cleaning the
system.
-
Only the Hypochlorite Cleaner has the ability to act as a
disinfectant, significantly reducing the number of viable
microorganisms.
- It is recommended to check calibration by running a
control after cleaning.
Precautions
- Boule Hypochlorite Cleaner (2%) contains sodium
hypochlorite (2%). The solution is skin irritating and
causes serious eye irritation. It is marked with a hazard
pictogram. The other two solutions do not contain
chemicals at a level considered to be hazardous to health.
However, all solutions should be handled with proper care,
and skin and eyes should be protected. Please read the SDS
before use. Since hypochlorite solutions are oxidizing with
a basic pH, avoid contact with materials other than those
indicated in the instructions (spills give a remaining smell
on e.g. skin and stains (bleaching) on clothes etc).
- The concentration of hypochlorite decreases with time
without invalidation of the functionality within the given
expiry. Close the container as soon as possible after use.
- Cleaners should only be used before stated expiration date.
The cleaners should be disposed of according to local
regulations. When draining through the sewage system,
always use plenty of water.
