    Standard Operating Procedures for

    Maintenance & Servicing of Refrigerated Centrifuge

    CENTRAL TB DIVISION

    MINISTRY OF HEALTH & FAMILY WELFARE, GOI


    1. INTRODUCTION

    A refrigerated centrifuge is intended to separate particles in a liquid by sedimentation. In


    TB laboratory, refrigerated centrifuges are used for the sedimentation of tubercle bacilli
    and their concentration within liquefied sputa or body fluids.

    2. SCOPE

    This operating procedure describes the use and maintenance of refrigerated centrifuge.

    3. SERVICING & MAINTENANCE


    (i) Daily Maintenance

    (a) Wipe the inside surface of the centrifuge with disinfectant solution, rinse thoroughly
    and dry. For the centrifuge which is turned off at night, open the top to allow the bowl
    to dry. During the day when the unit is under refrigeration, leave the top closed to
    avoid condensation and ice buildup.
    (b) The centrifuge must not be used if the interior is hot, if unusual vibrations or noises
    occur, or if deterioration (corrosion of parts) is detected. A qualified service technician
    should be contacted.
    (c) Most vibrations are due to improper balancing and can be corrected by re-balancing
    the buckets and tubes.

    (ii) Monthly maintenance

    (a) Clean the centrifuge housing, rotor chamber, rotors and rotor accessories with a
    neutral cleaning agent.
    (b) Clean plastic and non-metal parts with a fresh solution of 5% phenol followed by
    distilled water/alcohol.

    (iii) Annual Maintenance

    Service is to be performed by a qualified technician. The service technician must


    ensure that the unit operates safely and properly. This would include cleaning
    condenser coils, fans, screens, filters and checking the centrifuge brushes, bearings,
    timer, temperature, speed and for electrical integrity.

    (iv) Servicing

    In addition to Annual maintenance, scheduled preventive maintenance visits are to


    be undertaken by the agency providing the AMC.

    The following should be undertaken during Annual Maintenance:

    (a) Overall inspection of centrifuge, which includes physical check, check of any
    damage to the rotor.
    (b) Remove rotor and grease the shaft, hinges and other moving mechanical parts.
    (c) Clean the bowl and buckets.
    (d) Check for electric connections, supply input and earthing.
    (e) Check the compressor current and voltage.
    (f) Select a program and run the centrifuge at the Labs standard use RPM/G,
    Temperature and Time and calibrate using a Tachometer to certify the performance
    in accordance to NABL standards.
