Storing the FLEXMAP 3D Instrument

This procedure explains the steps you should take before placing the FLEXMAP 3D

instrument into long-term storage.

To prepare the FLEXMAP 3D instrument for storage:

1. Use the software to perform a Preparation for storage routine.

2. Remove the sample probe from the instrument and flush it with distilled water from the

narrow end out through the larger end.

3. Replace the sample probe in the sample arm and wrap the end of the probe with

Parafilm

Preparing the FLEXMAP 3D Instrument for Use After

Storage

Follow this procedure before you begin using the FLEXMAP 3D instrument after its removal

from long-term storage.

To prepare the FLEXMAP 3D instrument for use after storage:

1. Make sure that the sheath container has a sufficient amount of sheath fluid and that the

waste fluid container is empty.

2. Remove the Parafilm from the end of the sample probe.

3. Turn on the FLEXMAP 3D instrument and watch for the following indications of correct

response:

• The compressor starts. It has a low rumbling sound.

• Air blows out of the rear fans. Place your hand behind the FLEXMAP 3D instrument,

on the upper part of the back, to feel it.

NOTE: For the fan location, see the "Back of the FLEXMAP 3D Instrument"

image below.

• The syringes inside the right door of the FLEXMAP 3D instrument initialize.

4. Turn on the PC and start up the software. Use the software to run a revival after storage

routine.

Replacing Fuses

Periodically, you may need to replace a fuse on the FLEXMAP 3D instrument. The instrument

requires fuses with the following specifications:

F6A, 250 V

The fuse cartridge will accept either 5 mm x 20 mm or 0.25” x 1.25” fuses. Fuses are

available from Luminex Corporation. Replacing a fuse requires access to the back of the

FLEXMAP 3D instrument. Be aware before attempting any necessary lifting or movement of

the instrument that it weighs approximately 91 kg (200 lbs). Lifting it requires five people.
