  • Page 3: Introduction

    1 INTRODUCTION The IEC MediSpin is a portable benchtop centrifuge designed for use in the physician's office, the small clinical laboratory, and in the educational field, to perform separations by centrifugal force. The unit consists of: • A baseplate with three rubber suction cup pads for stability.
  • Page 4: Installation

    2 INSTALLATION The unit requires minimal assembly before it can be used. After unpacking, place the unit on a clean, level surface. The surface must be level to ensure quiet, vibration-free operation. A rigid, stable location is important since an improperly loaded unit can vibrate or even move.
  • Page 5: Operation

    Cautions •The IEC MediSpin is not intended or recommended for use with chemical solvents that may weaken critical parts. Refrain from using prohibited chemicals (see Table 1) for cleaning and/or centrifugation.

    Phillips head screws which secure the baseplate. Lift the baseplate off. Interlock The IEC MediSpin has a dual action interlock. When pressed, the cover open button releases the mechanical latch and activates the safety interlock release (if no rotation is sensed). There are two switches sensing the state of the cover and locking solenoid.
  • Page 10: Timer

    Timer The IEC MediSpin has a built in 30 minute mechanical timer. It also has a hold mode for indefinite spins. The timer acts as a switch delivering power to the motor. To replace it, the knob must first be removed. The knob is pressed onto the timer shaft and may require plyers to remove.
