  • Page 45: Changing The Chemagic Rod Heads

    Changing the chemagic Rod Heads The chemagic 360-D instrument usually comes with an installed chemagic Rod Head. To remove a chemagic Rod Head from the system, open the front door and loosen the 4 screws by ½ turn only - this ensures that the head can only be removed and reattached in a straight angle without the risk of tilting.

  • Page 46: Checking And Priming Of The Dispenser Manifolds

    Caution: During operation, the temperature in the operating room should be between +18° celsius and +35° celsius. Do not clean the chemagic 360-D instrument with aggressive agents such as acetone or hypochlorite solution, since this can corrode the material. A wipe disinfectant with a 4% solution of Kohrsolin FF (Bode Chemie, Hamburg) is recommended.

  • Page 47: Cleaning Of The Drop Cover

    360-D Service and maintenance Usually the chemagic Rod Heads do not need cleaning, unless any unanticipated contamination with sample material or reagent(s) has occurred. If this is the case, wipe the affected areas/parts of the head with a lint free cloth moistened with the appropriate disinfectant/cleaning agent.
