ADDING SAMPLES DURING A RUN
WARNING: Potential Biohazard. Refer to Appendix, Hazards
of this manual.
Use the following procedures to add samples during a run.
NOTE: Do not reintroduce samples already in progress to the
sampler area. Wait until processing is complete, otherwise
samples will be reaspirated.
Adding Samples on the FastTrack™ Sampler
When the FastTrack Sampler is Busy Sampling
When samples are being aspirated from the FastTrack Sampler, the
System status is RUN.
1. Order the patient samples in the Order Samples screen.
2. Place the sample in the specified carrier and position.
CAUTION: The FastTrack Sampler moves soon
after the Tray Status LED begins blinking orange.
3. Confirm that the Tray Status LED is not blinking orange and place
the Sample Carrier on a free section of the Sample Carrier Tray, to
the right of the Sampler area.
When the FastTrack Sampler has Completed Sampling
When the FastTrack Sampler has completed sampling, the System
status is SAMPLING END, CUVETTE FILL, or SUSPEND.
• If the System status is CUVETTE FILL or SUSPEND, load the
samples and initiate the run using the steps for a new run.
CAUTION: If the AEROSET System is configured
to automatically return the trays to the starting posi-
tion and aspirate reruns, the System remains in the
RUN status, and the Rerun Indicator Light in the
front display panel is illuminated red. Samples can-
not be added during the rerun process.
• Refer to the flip chart page for
summary of statuses and actions
needed to start the run.
