Preparing the Luminex

FLEXMAP 3D

Instrument for Use

After Storage

Follow this procedure before you begin using the Luminex

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 Luminex

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.

DANGER: To avoid serious injury or death by electric shock, you must turn

off the FLEXMAP 3D

instrument and unplug it from the wall

before replacing a fuse.

To replace a fuse:

Unplug the power cable from the instrument.

2. Use a small, flat-blade screwdriver to open the module door on the lower left corner of

the back of the instrument. The door opens downward. Inside are two cartridges, a red

one on top and a black one on the bottom.

3. Use the screwdriver to remove the red cartridge.

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
