Adding Samples on the Sample Carousel
When the Sample Carousel is Busy Sampling
When samples are being aspirated from the Sample Carousel, the
System status is RUN, and the Sample Carousel Movement Indicator
Light is illuminated or blinking.
1. Order the patient samples in the Order Samples screen.
2. Select <PAUSE> in the Action Area. The RUN OPTIONS screen
is displayed.
3. Select <Pause> in the right-hand column of the RUN OPTIONS
screen to pause sampling.
WARNING: If a diluted sample has been dispensed, the
Sample Arm may move after the status has changed to
PAUSE. Wait 20 seconds before accessing the Sample
Carousel area.
WARNING: The AEROSET System does not stop the
movement of the Reagent 2 Probes, ICT™ Unit, Mixers,
or Cuvette Washers so the Assay Read Times are not
affected.
CAUTION: The System completes the dispensing
and mixing of any sample and reagent already aspi-
rated. Confirm the PAUSE status in the System Sta-
tus Area and confirm that the R1 Indicator on the
LUI (Local User Interface) is illuminated before pro-
ceeding.
4. Wait for the System status to change to PAUSE and then place the
samples in the Sample Carousel in the specified positions.
NOTE: For priority sampling, load the sample in the first
available position next to the position currently being
aspirated.
• To speed up when the sample is
aspirated, assign a C/P close to the
position currently being aspirated.
