MODEL DESCRIPTION

DASH is a versatile line of centrifuges designed for STAT sample processing. Minimize lab error, reduce turnaround

time, and streamline training with the simple controls, powerful performance, and unique LED lid lighting system.

As a general purpose laboratory centrifuge, it is designed to also run other approved containers filled with

chemicals (non-flammable, non-explosive, non-volatile, and non-highly reactive only), environmental samples, and

other non-human body samples.

FEATURES

The first three (3) cycles are conveniently pre-set and labeled for you lab’s most common applications. Use the

default cycles or settings can be customized.

Lid lighting indicates the centrifuge’s status (ready, running, done), informing the operator when tubes are ready

for the analyzer and preventing tubes from being left in the centrifuge longer than necessary (patent pending).

Up to 10 cycles can be programmed for time, speed, and braking and labeled with a custom name. Cycles can be

programmed by g-force (RCF) rather than speed (RPM) to facilitate matching validated cycles and manufacturers

IFUs.

A time and speed/g-force can be quickly entered for a single use cycle. The cycle will not be retained in memory.

If desired, the control panel can be temporarily locked on one cycle, ideal for standardization to a single spin.

A Preset Lock can be turned on to prevent changes from being made accidentally to programmed cycles.

A traditional audible alert indicates the completion of the cycle. The audible alert can be muted.

Cool–Flow design prevents overheating of samples by using ambient air to keep specimens at room temperature.

The tube holders are fiber reinforced for high strength, durability, and years of trouble-free use.

A clear lid permits safe observation of samples and optical calibration of speed.

The lid safety system prevents the centrifuge from operating unless the lid is closed and latched.

The lid safety system only allows entry into the centrifuge after the rotor has completely stopped.

The high-power brushless motor provides years of operation with no routine maintenance.

INTENDED USE

General purpose laboratory centrifuge, intended for the density-based separation of fluids through centripetal

acceleration.

WARRANTY

Drucker Diagnostics warranties that this centrifuge is free from defects in workmanship and parts for 2 years.

CAUTION AND WARNING STATEMENTS

This device is intended to be operated by properly trained personnel who have carefully read the

operating manual and are familiar with the function of the device. [Refer to the clinical laboratory

method specified by the specimen receptacle manufacturer or established by the medical technology

for the products applications.]

For the safety of both the operator and service personnel, care should be taken when using this centrifuge

if handling substances that are known to be toxic, radioactive or contaminated with pathogenic

microorganisms. Use appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE). When Risk Group II materials are

used, (as identified in the World Health Organization “Laboratory Bio-Safety Manual”), a Bio- Seal should

be employed. In the event that materials of a higher risk group are being used, more than one level of

protection must be provided. The use of flammable or explosive materials as well as those materials which

have a vigorous chemical reaction is prohibited.

Unplug the centrifuge before cleaning or performing maintenance.

Inspect centrifuge for cracks or physical damage to cabinet, lid, rotor, or tube holders. Damage may result

in unsafe operation. Discontinue use until repairs have been performed.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in

accordance with this operator manual, may cause interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause interference, in which case the user will be

required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Due to the lack of the possibility of human exposure, all Drucker centrifuges and accessories sold by

Drucker Diagnostics, Inc. are compliant without any special labeling required by the California Safe Drinking

Water and Toxic Enforcement Act (Proposition 65).

INITIAL SETUP

Unpack and verify that all the following are included:



Centrifuge



Power cord



Tube holders



Quick Start Guide

Setup the centrifuge on flat and level surface. A bench top clearance height of 21” (54 cm) is required to open

the lid.

The centrifuge should have 6” (15 cm) of clear space around the centrifuge. Proper ventilation is necessary to

prevent the overheating of samples as well as premature failure of the centrifuge. Choose an area which allows

unencumbered air flow, and where the temperature remains between 16°C and 32°C.

No hazardous material shall be permitted in the clearance envelope during operation.

The operator time within the envelope shall be limited to the time necessary for loading, unloading, and

centrifuge operation only.

Plug the line cord into the centrifuge.

Plug the line cord into an approved electrical outlet.

Turn on the power switch on the back of the centrifuge.

BE SURE THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET IS ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE AS THE LINE CORD IS THE

MEANS OF EMERGENCY

DISCONNECTION!

OPERATION

Place the tubes into the tube holders. Be sure to follow the rules for balanced loads as listed on page 10.

Close the lid and turn the lid knob clockwise to its complete stop position.

The digital screen shows the currently selected cycle. To select another cycle, press the UP or DOWN button in

succession until the desired cycle is selected.

Pushing the START button on the control panel will start the spin cycle.

When the cycle is completed, the rotor will slow to a complete stop and the lid light will flash.

The unlocking mechanism will engage for 60 seconds allowing entry into the rotor chamber. To unlock after more

than 60 seconds have elapsed, press the UNLOCK button. The lid will unlock for another 15 seconds.

Turn the lid knob counterclockwise and open the lid. The lid light will turn off.

You may now safely remove the samples.

QUICK START

The top screen display alternates between the name of the currently selected speed. The bottom screen displays

the time setting.

Start Begins running the cycle displayed on the screen. The lid must be

closed.

Unlock Allows access into the rotor chamber by engaging the unlocking

mechanism. Entry is only possible when the rotor is stopped.

Stop Pressing the UNLOCK button during operation will terminate the

run and unlock the lid after the rotor has come to a stop.

Cycle Selection Press the CYCLE button to select the desired saved cycle.
