Component Maintenance; Disassembly And Assembly Of Components And Consumables - GE AKTAprime plus Operating Instructions Manual

Make sure that the process control method for cleaning flushes all possible flow paths
in the system. After cleaning, rinse the entire system with water or suitable liquid until
the piping/tubing system is completely free from the CIP solution (monitors in the system
can be used as detectors). Do not leave NaOH or other cleaning agents in the system
for long periods.
