5 Retain packaging material for further use, should the need arise to return to your distributor or to
the manufacturer for service or repair.
ROTOR ASSEMBLY:
1 Unlock the lid and open it to reveal the rotor drive nub
location. See diagram to the right.
2 Assemble the rotor onto the drive nub and align the two
screw holes. Insert the two fixing screws provided.
Tighten them down evenly. Spin the rotor to check
concentricity. Check that the rim gasket is properly
located on the inner wall of rotor.
3The Multi Combi, Std Combination & 24 place
haematocrit rotor have their own lids – this is to ensure the
containment of tube contents should there be any spillage
or breakage.
4. Arrange the tubes/containers in the rotor evenly so the rotor remains balanced during operation
and screw down the lid firmly.
NB: Always ensure the rotor lid is screwed down firmly before operating the device.

4 . INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (cont'd)
TUBE SAMPLE PREPARATION
1. Capillary tubes used for centrifugation must conform to British Standard BS 4316 to withstand
the forces of centrifugation and give accurate results. Please ensure that the tubes to be used are
marked on the packaging "BS4316" or equivalent standard.
2. Draw blood into tube by capillary action to within 15mm from the end. Use HEPARINISED
tubes for direct capillary blood and PLAIN tubes for venous blood rendered incoagulable. Avoid
air bubbles in the capillary tube and use the guide on the edge of the Cristaseal tray to check the
correct blood volume i.e. 40 - 60mm of blood.
3. Seal the unfilled end of the tube with CRISTASEAL, holding the tube at a 90°angle to the
Cristaseal tray. Push the tube to the bottom of the tray and then twist and remove the sealed tube.
4. If a capillary tube is broken leaving broken glass in the Cristaseal, the tray must be DISPOSED
OF SAFELY
5. For centrifugation place the tubes in the numbered slots with the sealed ends pointing outwards.
Make sure the sealed ends are actually touching the rim seal gasket at the outer edge of the rotor.
No balancing of capillary tubes is required due to the high precision of the rotor.
NOTE. The rim seal gasket should be changed at least once a month or sooner if deterioration is
evident.
6. Always ensure that where provided the rotor lid is screwed down firmly before operating the
centrifuge.
DO NOT OPERATE THE CENTRIFUGE WITHOUT THE ROTOR LID FITTED
THIS ENSURES THAT THE CONTENTS ARE PROPERLY HELD IN POSITION IN
THE ROTOR DURING SPINNING.

CENTRIFUGE OPERATION
1 Ensure the timer is in the ZERO position.
2 Connect the power cord to the inlet socket and a convenient power source. The green Power
Indicator Lamp will illuminate.
3 Close the lid and ensure that the lever is in the LOCKED position.
4 Set the desired run time. Normally 6 minutes is sufficient including initial acceleration to achieve
a good separation of blood samples. At the end of the timed run the motor automatically
switches off and the automatic brake system operates.
DO NOT MOVE THE CENTRIFUGE WHILE THE MOTOR IS OPERATING
5 When the set time has elapsed, auto-braking will bring the rotor to a stop.
Note: The timer normally shuts off at approx. 30-45 seconds before ‘0’.
It is recommended to add approx. 30 seconds to the ‘set’ time from ‘0’ to allow for shut off.
This is a characteristic of the timer. For example if the time of 3 minutes is set, set the timer
knob to 3 minutes 30 seconds approx. if a time of 5 minutes is set, set the timer knob to 5
minutes 30 seconds approx and so on.
The following is a guideline ONLY for establishing the full run time required for correct blood
separation
Set the timer for 4 minutes then operate the centrifuge.
After the rotor assembly has come to a complete stop open the lid and remove the rotor cover.
Check whether a definite separation (blood/plasma) has been achieved.
If separation has been achieved use the 4 minute time setting.
If not, replace the samples with a new set, screw on the rotor cover and close the lid.
Set the timer to 5 minutes and operate the centrifuge to re-check separation.
Iterate as above, adjusting the time setting as necessary.
Samples used for testing can be re-spun for the balance of the full spin time if desired,
remembering to add the rotor spin-up and stopping times correctly (see page 11) and the 30
second offset (see 5 above).
The above applies to separation using capillary and/or tubes of larger volume.
6 When the rotor has stopped, unlock and open the lid. All rotors stop within 45 seconds - allow
this time to elapse for safety. See braking times on Page 10 for more detail.
7 To remove the rotor lid, unscrew counter-clockwise, then lift clear to reveal the tubes.
8Remove the tubes and read the percentage packed cell volume on the
MICRO-HAEMATOCRIT READER.
Instructions for its use are also to be found on the reverse of the READER. If the tubes are not to
be read immediately, place them in a vertical position to preserve sharp boundaries.
For READER use, see the following pages for instructions.

ROTOREADER
1 After centrifugation unscrew the and remove the rotor lid from the rotor.
2 Push the ROTOREADER firmly on to the central spindle.
3 Rotate the centrifuge rotor to bring the required tube to be read nearest to you and restrain from
further movement by holding rotor edge.
4 Turn the castellated knob 'C', until the base line (outside black line 'D' on ROTOREADER) is
brought into line with the base of blood column 'E' (the top face of tube seal).
5 For the following operations the centre knob remains stationary on the central spindle:
6 Turn the ROTOREADER knob 'F' until the inner spiral black line 'G' coincides with the top of
blood column 'H'.
7 Place MAGNIFIER onto the rotor reader.
8 Read off the percentage at boundary of packed cells 'J'.
9 Repeat from 3 for the next tube.
NOTE: The ROTOREADER’s castellated knob (‘C’) is eccentric so that the device will allow for
differing depths and types of tube seal.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the centrifuge with the ROTOREADER attached to the rotor.

4. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (cont'd)
PERIODIC INSPECTION, CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
In order to ensure the proper operation of this centrifuge, periodic preventive maintenance is
necessary.
INSPECTION
To ensure correct and safe use of the centrifuge, inspect the rotor and lid regularly, using the
following procedure:
a) Remove the rotor from the centrifuge by undoing the two fixing screws located near the drive
shaft and remove the rubber rim gasket.
b) Clean the rotor and rotor lid using the prescribed method detailed below.
c) Inspect all rotor surfaces for damage, dents, gouges or modifications.
d) Inspect all rotor surfaces, particularly near the drive shaft and fixing screws, for damage,
corrosion, hairline cracks, surface pitting or discoloration of the metal.
e) If any of the above conditions are found, the rotor must be replaced with a new one.
Never continue to use an impaired rotor because doing so could result in damage to the centrifuge and
injury to operating personnel.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE ROTOR OR ROTOR LID WHILE THEY ARE
INSTALLED ON THE CENTRIFUGE
To clean and disinfect the rotor and rotor lid correctly, use the following procedure:
a) Remove the rotor from the centrifuge by undoing the two fixing screws located near the drive
shaft and remove the rubber rim gasket.
b) Some disinfectants and cleaning agents adversely affect the rotor causing corrosion. DO NOT
USE Phenolic disinfectants, chlorine bleach solutions, hydrogen peroxide, saline solutions, acids
and halogen based bleaches.
c) Only Ethanol (70%), mild detergents and hot water are recommended.
d) In cases of extreme contamination, the rotor and lid may be steam cleaned or autoclaved under
standard conditions. Remember to remove and dispose of the rubber rim gasket as this will not
withstand autoclave temperatures.
e) After disinfecting / cleaning, the rotor and lid should be thoroughly rinsed in hot water, dried and
re-inspected for hairline cracks and other defects which might have been hidden by dirt and
corrosion.
f) Re-attach the rotor to the centrifuge using the two fixing screws, taking care not to damage or
scratch the rotor surface. Replace the rotor lid only to finger tightness.
The use of other than genuine Hawksley replacement parts will void all performance claims and
warranties.
