Washing tHb/SO
2
or COOX and preparing Mix1
When the measuring chamber area is clean, the tHb/SO
2
or COOX module is washed.
The vacuum pump runs rinse solution "in the reverse direction" from V3 through the
measuring module to the Hb cartridge; air packets are mixed in through V4 to
increase the cleaning effect.
Mix1 is aspirated from the FMS to the FMS tube simultaneously.
Then the measuring chamber area is dried. During this procedure the T&D disk is
undocked with the vacuum pump running until the measuring chamber area is dry.
The valve positions are the same as when washing the measuring chamber area.
