1 Preventive Maintenance The ADVIA 560 system requires minimal maintenance during daily routine. After each measurement the chambers and the shear valve are rinsed thoroughly with diluent, the needle is washed and the chambers are drained waiting for the next sample. If the ana‐ lyzer is idle for 5 minutes, a Standby cycle is initiated automatically, this fills up the cham‐ bers with diluent to avoid drying of the apertures. To ensure the proper operation of the ADVIA 560, field service should perform a preven‐ tive maintenance visit in accordance with the daily work load of the customer. The opti‐ mal work load for the ADVIA 560 is 200 samples per day minimum. This should require a periodic maintenance visit after approximately 30,000 samples or annually.



ADVIA 560

As a general rule, according to system specifications, the ADVIA 560 requires at least 1 maintenance visit annually to ensure correct functioning and performance.

2 Preventive Maintenance

2.1 Check the State of the Analyzer 1. Turn on the analyzer, run a background check and ensure that values are within ac‐ cepted ranges. 2. Check analyzer usage for number of measurements performed. 3. Run a Self-test (electronic and pneumatic) and if it is successful, check to see if any value is close to the accepted limit. If any value is out of range troubleshoot accord‐ ingly. The self test data can be saved for further reference. It is also recommended to print the report. 4. In the case of high “laser on” or “laser off” DC levels, run a background cycle and Selftest again. If DC level values are still high, do a flow cell cleaning. Refer to the section Flow Cell Cleaning found below. 5. From Service/Adjustments run a “pressure offset adjustment” and check if values are within range. Change the pressure sensor board if an “offset values cannot be adjus‐ ted” message appears or if the adjusted value is very close to the limit.

 WARNING DO NOT skip the next three steps. The next three steps put the analyzer into the proper state for maintenance pro‐ cedures to be performed without the risk of liquids spilling on parts.

 You must complete the following three steps before starting maintenance procedures.

6. From the Service menu, run the “drain TCU” option. 7. From the Service menu run the “drain Flow cell” option. 8. From the Maintenance menu, empty all three chambers (RBC/PLT, WBC, MIX). At this point, the maintenance can be started. 9. Open the front cover and remove the side covers of the analyzer.

2.2 Inspect the Valves 1. Check for any dirt or deposit in the valve. If necessary, clean the inside of the valve by pushing DI water or Hypoclean CC through it by means of a syringe. 2. If there are any signs that liquid has spilled on the valve, remove the valve head to see if liquid also got in the coil. If so, replace the coil. 3. Activate each valve from the Menu > Service > Service Testing menu. If the switch‐ ing of the valve is not firm (smooth movement of the membrane), try to clean it or replace the valve head. 4. Check the exhaust tube/vent nozzle on valve #5, to ensure it is free of dust or any de‐ posit. Clean it with DI water, if necessary. 5. Special attention should be given to valve #2. This valve and related tubing must be clean. If there is dirty valve/tubing, flow of laser waste through valve is restricted. This can have a direct influence on the optical counts. Replace the valve and/or tubing, if necessary. 6. Special attention should be given to valves #34 and #35. These valves and the related tubing must also be clean and free of any deposit. Replace the valve and/or tubing, if necessary. 7. Replace the check valve that protects the pressure sensor PCB from damage. PM

Inspect valves 2, 5, 34, and 35. Replace the pressure senor PCB check valve.

Preventive Maintenance 2

2.6 Inspect the Dilutors The dilutor block driving wheels and gear bar should be cleaned and greased between the gear bar, the support, and between cogged wheels.



Use machine grease 'LX2' for dilutor gear (2 ml). The cogged end of PTFE dilutor pistons should be cleaned and lubricated by neutral sili‐ con grease. Apply just a thin layer, and move it along the perimeter of the piston, so that some of the material goes into the gaps between the sealing rings. Repeat this step for lyse and dilutor pistons as well. Check the condition of the micro pis‐ ton sealing, and replace if necessary.



Use silicon grease for dilutor pistons (2 ml). 1. From the Diagnostics > Service > Troubleshooting > Motors menu, move dilutors oneby-one and check if large air bubbles are visible in the syringes or if any leakage can be seen on or beneath them. Mark the syringe(s) where you saw large air bubbles get‐ ting in near the plunger. 2. Diagnostics > Service > Troubleshooting > Valves menu. 3. Clean and grease the dilutor pistons. IMPORTANT! The black pistons should not be greased!

 CAUTION Seal off the tube above the syringe before you remove it. This is to avoid reagent from internal reservoirs spilling back to the reagent bot‐ tle.

 Remove only one syringe at a time. Use a forceps to close the tube above the syringe you are going to remove.

4. From the Diagnostics > Service > Troubleshooting > Motors menu, cycle the dilutors again. If any of the syringes do not seal properly (air bubbles are still getting inside near the plunger) replace the syringe(s)



It is recommended to replace syringes after 50.000 measurement cycles. 5. Clean dust from the dilutor optical sensors, using compressed air. 6. Clean the driving pin of the dilutors, then lubricate them with Teflon grease.

2.7 Inspect the Shear Valve 1. Inspect the tubes on the shear valve for any deposit or discoloration, especially the “4diff waste” and “Laser in” tube (refer to the fluidic schematic of the analyzer to iden‐ tify these tubes). The lower section of the laser waste tube might have black color. It can be cleaned with Hypoclean CC or that tube section can be replaced.



When removing tubes from the shear valve ports, use a small flat screwdriver to help the tube slide off from the port. To avoid wrong connections, remove only 1 tube at a time. 2. Check the tightness of tubes on the shear valve ports by hand. All tube connections must be firm. If any tube comes off easily when pulled by hand, that tube section should be changed. 3. Clean the shear valve optical sensors from dust, using compressed air. 4. From Diagnostics > Service > Troubleshooting > Valves menu, cycle the shear valve several times. If the movement is not smooth or noise is coming from the driving mechanism, remove the cover behind the shear valve and lubricate the cogged wheel/bar with machine grease. Apply a thin film of Teflon grease to the two ends of the sliding clutch-bed. Reinstall the driving mechanism cover. 5. Change the blood sensor tube (tube between the needle and shear valve).



The tubing supplied comes with a little extra length and can be trimmed for a tighter fit. A tube length between 26 - 28 cm is generally acceptable. PM

2 Preventive Maintenance

2.8 Inspect the Laser Head Observe the self test results. If the HGB light and dark values are near the limits, then it is advised to replace the component.

 CAUTION Opening the laser head will end the warranty period for the optical head! The laser head does not need to be opened for regular maintenance.

 If “laser on” DC level was high during repeated Self-test cycles, it might be

necessary to clean the flow cell manually. This should be done only if “laser on” DC level is still high after the software “flow cell cleaning” procedure op‐ tion was done. If “laser off” DC level is high, that might indicate failure of a component of the laser head. Contact your regional support center for further information and assistance.

If any deposit can be seen in the “laser in” tube or if “laser on” DC level was high during a Self-test, do the following: 1. Remove the thick, RED coded tygon tube (laser waste) from the tube organizer and connect a syringe to it. 2. Prepare at least 10 ml of 1/1 Hypoclean CC solution (1 part Hypoclean CC, 1 part DI water) in a cup. 3. Remove the “Laser in” tube from the shear valve and immerse it into the Hypoclean CC solution. 4. Gently pull the syringe until at least half of the Hypoclean CC is aspirated or until the “Laser in” tube is clean. 5. Remove the “Laser in” tube from the Hypoclean CC and pull ~ 20 ml of air through it. 6. Reconnect the “Laser in” and “laser waste” tubes to their ports. PM

Preventive Maintenance 2

2.9 Inspect, Clean, and Replace the Mixer Tubes The TCU unit is a key assembly and proper functioning of this part is vital for good per‐ formance of the analyzer. Therefore during periodic maintenance the TCU must be in‐ spected. Inspection is only possible if the TCU is removed from the instrument. Follow the instructions in ( Temperature Control Unit / DCHT-A06.841.01) to remove the TCU from the analyzer. 1. Clean dust from the fan and heat sink of the TCU with compressed air. 2. Remove the in-line mixer cover. 3. Replace the 2 tubes with 1.8 x 4.0 mm tygon tubes cut to 120 mm.



Tubes of the in-line mixer are the bottleneck for flow inside the TCU. Any deposit in these tubes will cause overpressure in the 4 diff sample preparation circuit, which can result in tubes being pushed off of valves and can cause liquid spills inside the analyzer. Natural aging of tygon results in loss of elasticity and a small decrease of diameter. Ag‐ ing is speeded up by reagents (Lyse5P, Diff5P). It is recommended to change the in-line mixer tubes once a year. 4. Follow the instructions in ( Temperature Control Unit / DCHT-A06.841.01) to reinstall the TCU in the analyzer.. PM

2.10 Inspect the Wash Head and XY Block The horizontal and vertical mechanical sliding bars should be cleaned of dust and debris.



Use Photolube 007 for sliding bars (2 ml). Grease or pure lubricating oil is not suitable. 1. Clean the sliding bars of the XY unit with a paper towel and apply a thin film of Teflon grease on them. 2. Clean the optical sensor on the XY optical board with compressed air. 3. Verify that the metal ports of the wash head are not loose. Replace the wash head if any of the ports can be moved by hand. 4. Verify the vertical movement of the wash head neck inside of the XY block by lifting it up from the needle holder. 5. Vertical movement of the wash head must be easy without any obstruction. Clean the wash head neck if movement is not smooth. 6. Clean the bottom of wash head.

2.11 Replace the Sampling Needle The sampling needle can collect some residual blood from the rubber caps of sample tubes. This will most likely be present on the upper half of the needle, the part that usual‐ ly resides above the wash head. This does not interfere with measurement results, how‐ ever it is recommended to clean the needle from time to time. 1. Use cleaning tissue or paper and alcohol to clean the surface of the sampling needle. 2. Replace the sampling needle at each annual preventive maintenance. PM

2.12 Autoloader Maintenance (optional) Autoloader does not require extensive maintenance. The system mechanics are simple without too many moving parts. Although, a minimal maintenance is required. n

Clean or replace the barcode reader’s cover

n

Grease the mixer’s cogs with lubricant

n

Check and replace the mixer’s rubber wheel

Recommended maintenance tools: n

Slot Screwdrivers (for plexiglass cover holders)

n

Torx Key (T10, T20)

n

Hexagon Screwdrivers (2.5, 2.0 mm sizes)

Replacing the Autoloader Cover The cover of the Autoloader is the most exposed part of the unit. The cover can be scratched or broken, and it may need to be replaced. Removing the additional screws shown below will detach the cover from the unit.

 CAUTION Be careful when replacing the new cover. The cover can get cracked if the screws are tightened too much.

 Tighten the screws securely, but do not over tighten.

1. Remove the two screws on the top of the black cover on the front and back. 2. Remove the two screws attaching the hinges to the top of the unit.

4. Unscrew the four Torx screws attaching the hinges to the cover and remove it. 5. Install the new cover and secure it with the cover screws.



After replacing the new cover, make sure that the metal rod can push the micro switch on above the Power ON button. Lubricating the Mixer Mechanisms



Be sure to use machine grease for lubricating the mixer mechanisms. The mixer is the only part which is not covered and can get dirty or can lose lubricant easily. If the mixer mechanisms are not lubricated properly, it can cause pneumatic error or strange noise, making the mixing incomplete and barcode reading incorrect. Check and/or Replace the Rubber Wheel Guide The mixer rubber wheel is responsible to rotate the sample tubes during mixing. The wheel is pushed to the back wall of the sampler while mixing and the wheel starts rotat‐ ing.

2 Preventive Maintenance Fig. 5: Autoloader: Mixer Wheel

(1) Rubber mixer wheel

The wheel is pushing the sample tubes directly. If the tubes have barcode stickers, the rubber wheel may pick up paint from the barcode printout. This paint can make the wheel slip during mixing and it will not rotate the tubes properly. Because the wheel is also in contact with the inner side of the sampler’s back wall, it is necessary to check the wall for additional paint and remove it if necessary. If the paint is not removed from the wall, the wheel will pick it up again. If barcodes on the tubes are not too close to the cap, the rubber wheel will not contact the barcode and it will not pick up the paint. Placing the barcode on the tubes properly will avoid this problem. Refer to Section 8.4.3 of the ADVIA 560 Operator’s Manual. Cleaning the Barcode Reader Although the barcode reader is covered by the Autoloader’s top, the glass surface of the reader can be covered with dust or dirt. Simply clean the dust and dirt from the surface with a clean dry cloth. No special cleaner is necessary.

Preventive Maintenance 2

2.13 Verification and Adjustments From the Service menu: 1. Preform pneumatic initialization, fill flow cell, and fill TCU. 2. Run shutdown and then switch on the analyzer. 3. Run background counts until background values are within accepted limits. Several background cycles might be necessary to achieve good values, this is normal behavior after tubes and subassemblies have been drained and refilled. 4. At the main Service software interface, select Maintenance > Diagnostics > Service > Stress. The Stress test interface is displayed and automatically runs blank cycles and monitors the results. Run both 10 cycle and Infinite cycle tests. 5. If DC level is still high contact your regional support center for further assistance. 6. Select Maintenance > Diagnostics > Service > Needle settings and perform a wash head and needle position verification and adjust if necessary. 7. Adjust the blood sensor default value(with blood sensor disabled). 8. Calibrate the blood sensor. 9. Verify calibration with fresh control blood. Calibrate the instrument if necessary. 10. Run human samples and check results. 11. Run a repeatability test (at least 11 measurements from one fresh human blood with normal values) and check that CV % percents are within specification for all parame‐ ters. PM
