=== Cleaning the LEAP Syringe with Fast Wash Station ===
+
-
This can clean the needle or help remove a bubble
+
-
* On the LEAP Handheld, hit Menu (F1)
+
-
*  Clean Syr (F2) <enter>  
+
-
*  Select a Wash Station <enter>
+
-
*  Enter the number of times the syringe should rinse <enter>
+
-
* On the LEAP Handheld, hit the ESC key (repeatedly if needed) to return to the top of the menu.
+
-
This option will move the LEAP syringe to the desired wash station and will rinse the full length of the syringe body. For new, or completely dry syringes, it is recommended to slightly pre-wet the syringe with solvent to displace some of the air.

-
* On the LEAP Handheld, hit Menu (F1)
 
-
*  Utilities <enter>
 
-
*  Wash Station <enter>
 
-
*  Select desired wash station <enter>
 
-
*  Press Act Valve (F2) to open the valve (located in the solenoid under the Wash Station)
 
-
*    Rinse the tube until all the bubbles in it are flushed out (several seconds)
 
-
*  Press Deact Valve (F2) to close the solenoid valve
 
-
*  When F2 reads Act Valve, the solenoid is closed 
 
-
*  When reads Deact Valve, the solenoid is open
 
-
* Hit the ESC key (repeatedly if needed) to return to the top of the menu.
