Cedex Bio analyzer 9 General maintenance
Overview
Overview
Completing maintenance actions correctly and on time helps to ensure smooth and
uninterrupted operation of your analyzer.
Maintenance scheduling The Cedex Bio analyzer facilitates performing the maintenance actions in bundles at
the times that suit your laboratory work processes. To that purpose, you can define in
the configuration settings one day of the week as your maintenance day.

For information on scheduling maintenance actions, see Scheduling maintenance actions
on page B-168.
All maintenance actions can be performed any time.
Interval For most maintenance actions a fixed maintenance interval is defined. (You cannot
change this interval.) This is the basis upon which the system calculates the date when
the actions need to be performed.
The interval timers and counters are reset whenever you confirm that the
maintenance action has been performed.
Maintenance actions without predefined intervals are performed whenever
necessary, or they are triggered by another maintenance action.
Due date The due date is the last possible maintenance day. This is the date you see when you
check the status of maintenance actions.
Ensuring smooth operation Performing all due maintenance actions during the daily Prepare or End Shift phase
ensures that routine operation does not have to be interrupted for performing
maintenance actions.
