====steps for changing lamp==== * In one excel sheet, note down current gain of all filters of ErbaXL 640 from maintenance menu. * Take out sealed unused lamp from Preventive Maintenance kit of ErbaXL 640. * Keep hands away from glass part of new halogen lamp. Make sure that there is no crack or breakage in the glass part. * Make sure that gas does not have been leaked. * Note down ideal gain value given in note provided with new lamp box in same excel sheet. * Now switch off the instrument first. * Remove reaction tray cover of the instrument. * Remove inner cover of Reaction Tray(RCT) by loosening the attached screws. * 2 flange like wires attached with old lamp are attached with the 2 screws seen in that area(see below picture) and by following wires you can see a lamp in box like structure(see below picture). * First by loosening the screws remove the wires and then using smallest L shaped key (present in tool box) loose the screw over the box covering lamp. DO NOT REMOVE SCREW FULLY. * Now remove the lamp and preserve it in box with proper labelling(not to be used). * Take new lamp.

Go to SERVICE CHECK⇒RCT TRAY⇒OFFSET. Check the two cuvette lightening and compare their equal brightness. * Start the AUTOSPAN and note down gain of all filters in the sheet of previous gain. * Run the quality controls for atleast 5 times in that batch and one time for next 3 to 4 batch and run the patients samples only after correct control results. * Make sheet of comparision of ideal gain(mentioned in the note present in new lamp packing) and gain before and after changing lamp. Upload the sheet in LIS in Equipment record.
