Maintenance procedure on Icon-5 analyzers
These steps must be performed by trained service engineer! Please note the following
warnings:
WARNING
Risk of personal injury. Movements of motors are controlled by limited
current. Do not override built-in safety measures, do not short circuit fuses
BIOHAZARD
Risk of biological infection, contamination
WARNING
The analyzer should only be operated without covers with extreme
caution, moving parts can cause injury. High Voltage board HVDCDC
produces 180VDC.
Service marked components only when the power source is disconnected.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury. The ceramic shear valve has a sharp needle
installed. Avoid touching the needle
To prepare the Icon-5 for the maintenance, please, shut down the analyzer and pinch

Step 1: Peristaltic pump tube replacement
Frequency:
1 year or 10,000
samples
part#: HAT800B or HAT800C (Included in kit)
Pump tubes must be replaced regularly. The tube material will wear with time and use of
the analyzer.
Failure to replace the tubes will results in deepening cracks on the tube material which will
eventually lead to leaks and reduction or failure in liquid movement.
The wash head will slowly fail to remove waste from the sampling needle washing
procedure. RBC sample processing errors (variation, instability of results) and in extreme
cases waste collector overflow may be the consequences.
Remove the pump module (open the
two screws fixing the module to the
assembly plate)
Remove the pump cassette by
pressing it on its sides and then
pulling it away from the pump.

Install tubes, make sure they run parallelly,
they must not cross each other.
Reinstall the pump tubes. The adapter
heads will sit in the grooves at the pump
body. Slightly pull on the tubes to make
them sit properly in the pump over the
rollers.
Reinstall the cassette. Both ends must CLICK upon insertion. Make sure that the cassette
is level with the pump body. Incorrect alignment of the cassette will not allow the pump to
operate properly, it will fail to move liquid. If the cassette shows only a little gap, simply
push on the top of the cassette to push it in place.
