HIAC Operator Manual

1 Introduction

This guide helps the operator begin using the HIAC Model 9705 Liquid Particle Counting

System productively with minimal up-front instruction. The guide contains the information most

essential to running the 9705.

WARNING

The operator should always wear proper safety equipment and clothing when operating any

fluid system. The operator should also ensure that all connections are tight.

1.1 Product Overview

The Model 9705 Liquid Particle Counting System combines proven technology and application

knowledge in a compact syringe sampler. This instrument precisely measures particles from

small and large volume parenterals as well as fluid used for cleaning medical devices or

precision parts and water for injection (WFI) systems.

The 9705 offers the Accu-Swirl™ built-in stirring mechanism to agitate the entire sample bottle

to distribute particles uniformly, thus increasing the sample’s accuracy. No separate stirring

mechanism is necessary. When used with PharmSpec 2.1, the 9705 supports FDA 21 CFR

Part 11 compliance.

KSS - March 2006 - Edition 1

Operator Manual HIAC

The 9705 can also be used with a Large Volume Adapter to sample from vessels greater than

125 mL. The adjustable height stand and stainless steel tube intake accommodate IV bags and

Large Volume Injectables (LVIs) and adds 0.054 mL tare volume per inch of tubing.

1.2 Operation Conventions

While the 9705 is most commonly used with PharmSpec to conduct compendial tests, some

9705 setup and display information is accessed by use of a TFT color touch screen located on

the front panel of the unit, shown in Figure 1-1. All commands may be executed through the

touch screen.

Items on the screen that need to be touched or pressed to invoke actions appear in bold text.

Buttons or tab names that should be pressed in sequence appear like this:

1) Press Settings icon > System icon to invoke the System screen.

Screen items commonly referred to in this manual include:

• A screen is a window of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) which takes all up all visible

space on the touch screen and can only be exited by pressing a button.

• A tab is a subdivision the GUI easily accessed by touching the tab at the top of the

screen.

• A button is an area of the touch screen that should be touched to invoke another screen

or execute an action (such as performing a sample run or clearing the buffer).

• A field indicates an area of the screen where strings of text and/or numbers may be

entered. To enter information in a field, touch the field. Depending on the nature of the

field (alphanumeric versus numeric), a keypad will appear on the touch screen to allow

text or numeric entries. Touch OK to complete the entry.

• A checkbox allows functions to be toggled on or off. Touch the box to make a checkmark

appear and enable the function. Touch the box a second time to make a checkmark

disappear and disable the function.

• A dropdown menu allows operators to choose from a set list of values. Dropdown menus

can be identified by the arrow on the right side of the field. To use a dropdown menu,

touch the arrow to show the list, drag a finger down the list to show all items, then

highlight the desired item to select it.

• A pop-up box is a warning or note to make sure actions are taken as intended. Click OK

or Yes to continue or Cancel to stop.

The 9705 ships with the syringe drive positioned for loading a syringe. Load the syringe prior

to initially powering the 9705.

A syringe may be loaded or unloaded with the syringe drive plunger bolt set at its top travel

point.

Each syringe has the same plunger travel distance, so this procedure allows changing to

different volume syringes. The 9705 uses syringes in these volumes:

•1 mL

•10 mL

•25 mL

To load a syringe into the syringe drive:

1) Make sure the 9705 has been flushed of all fluids and the unit power is off. Make sure

the syringe drive plunger bolt is positioned at its top travel point.

2) Gently push the Plexiglas

door on the right of the 9705 upward to open it and gain

access to the syringe cavity.

3) Be certain that the syringe is of an appropriate size. Remove the drive bolt from the

syringe drive mechanism.

4) Fasten the syringe to the drive by bolting the drive bolt through the syringe plunger.

5) Pull up on the syringe until the lower fitting mates with the Teflon

fitting at the bottom

of the syringe drive.

CAUTION:

Do not overtighten the connection! Overtightening may cause Teflon extrusion and connector

degradation.

6) Twist the syringe until the connection is secure. Try to tighten so that the numbers on

the syringe face outward.

CAUTION:

When loading or removing a syringe, twist the syringe into and out of the fitting. Repeated

lateral movement of the syringe may cause damage to the Teflon syringe fitting.

7) Close the door. An error message will appear and an alarm will sound if a run is
