6.1.4 SMART cleaning
The objective of the SMART cleaning is to clear reagent residue from all lines.
A SMART cleaning is necessary in the following cases:
• Atregularintervals(approx.onceamonthandbeforeinsertinganewactivecarbonlter)to
clean the air system/liquid system and reduce deposits in the lines.
• Foreachchangeofthestationconguration,e.g.whenchangingfromxylenetoisopropanol,
ParaLast and if the operating mode (Concentration/Auto by RMS) is switched.
• Iftheinstrumentistobemovedortransportedforlongdistances.
• Iftheinstrumentistobeshutoforlongerthanoneweek(e.g.beforevacationperiods,etc.).
The prerequisite for the start of SMART cleaning is that the retort has been thor-
oughly cleaned using the extended cleaning mode and that there is no reagent
in the retort.
Only in this way is it possible to ensure that no residue from other reagents gets
into the newly dened stations.
Before transporting the instrument, in addition to the SMART cleaning, ensure
that no reagent residue is in the bottles.
