I’ve been piloting a 10-minute Friday routine — wipe optics with 70% IPA, clear dust from the OCT and autorefractor intake filters, and run the lensometer’s auto-cal — and it’s cut our service calls in half over the last two months. I’m baking this into new-tech training with a one-page checklist next week; what must-have steps do you include so I don’t miss anything?
You nailed it with that Friday routine! I’ve found that adding a quick check on the calibration of the autorefractor really helps too. It’s amazing how much of a difference regular maintenance can make in cutting down service calls.
That routine sounds fantastic — i’ve found incorporating a quick review of the reagent levels in the autoanalyzer can save a lot of headaches too. Remember, a well-oiled machine is like a well-cooked stew — everything needs to simmer just right. Have you thought about adding any tech maintenance to your training checklist?
