Performance maintenance

This performance maintenance protocol is a guide to performing maintenance tasks on your system. Packaged as part of the performance maintenance kit, it is intended to ensure optimum performance and an uninterrupted period of trouble-free operation.

Schedule

Waters recommends that performance maintenance visits be performed once a year. Systems under heavy use or using aggressive solvents will need more frequent maintenance. For detailed maintenance schedules, refer to the appropriate operator’s guide(s) located on the Waters web site. Failure to follow the maintenance schedules as described in the operator’s guides may result in unreliable operation and inaccurate laboratory results. For some protocols, optional tests can be performed by Waters field service engineers for added confidence and reliability.

Safety considerations

Some protocols may involve removing instrument covers, exposing the performer to high voltages, high currents, and moving parts. This presents risks of electric shock and/or damage to the instrument. To reduce these risks, Waters recommends that these protocols be conducted by certified Waters field service engineers, who have access to the latest information on Waters products. Waters does not advise and is not responsible for an unqualified performer initiating actions that they do not understand. If there is any doubt on the part of the performer, a Waters certified field service engineer should conduct the performance maintenance activity.

Waters Quality Parts

Waters designs and manufactures Waters Quality Parts® to the same strict regulatory standards (ISO 9001:2008) as your high-performance Waters systems. Waters recommends using Waters Quality Parts for all maintenance activities. Failure to use Waters Quality Parts may compromise laboratory results and reliability.

Customer education

Waters offers several operation and maintenance courses for ACQUITY® UPLC®, Alliance® HPLC and MS systems as well as courses designed to help you maintain professional competency and further your knowledge in Chromatography, UPLC, Informatics and Mass Spectrometry. For more information on available training courses from Waters Educational Services please visit the Waters web site.

Compliance services

Waters Compliance Services help you achieve and maintain the regulatory compliance of your LC and MS instruments and software with a combination of expertise, compliant-ready systems and software, and a portfolio of services to ensure that you have quality data, consistently. To learn more about these services, please visit the Waters web site.

General tasks

Use the following guidelines when conducting performance maintenance visits. This information is intended to be a guide only; for example:  If a particular module has been recently serviced, it may only need testing and the replacement of fewer parts.  Not all procedures apply to all instruments (specify NA in the Comments section if the procedure does not apply).  If the instrument fails to perform adequately during pre-performance maintenance checks, further service may be required beyond the scope of this protocol; in such cases, the extra service may incur additional parts and labor charges. The following table lists the general tasks to be performed during a performance maintenance visit. Perform and confirm the steps listed for each procedure and record any comments that you have about the results at the end of each section. For detailed instructions and a list of the necessary tools, refer to the Operator’s Guide located on the Waters website – www.waters.com/.

NOTE: Firmware upgrades, if required, must be performed by a Waters field service engineer prior to beginning performance maintenance. Firmware upgrades may require re-qualification of the upgraded instrument if it is in a regulated environment.

IQ/OQ or GLP considerations

Before starting work, determine what (if any) IQ/OQ or GLP policies are in operation on the specific instrument and ensure that the necessary paperwork is available to record the actions.
