When the Carousel Sampler is Busy Sampling
1. Select <PAUSE> in the Action Area. The RUN OPTIONS screen
is displayed.
2. Select <Pause> in the right-hand column of the RUN OPTIONS
screen to pause sampling.
WAR NI NG : 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.
WAR NI NG : 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
aspirated. Confirm the PAUSE status in the System
Status Area and confirm that the R1 Indicator on
the LUI (Local User Interface) is illuminated before
proceeding.
3. Wait for the System status to change to PAUSE, then place the
controls (in sample cups) in the Calibrator/Control Carousel in
the specified positions.
4. Select <UNPAUSE> in the Action Area. The RUN OPTIONS
screen is displayed.
NOTE: Do not select <RUN> to reinitiate sampling. If
<RUN> is selected, all samples remaining on the System
with tests still in process are sampled again.
5. Ensure that the desired control option is selected in the RUN
OPTIONS screen.
NOTE: Start QC is not performed if the run is restarted
using the PAUSE and UNPAUSE commands.
6. Select <Unpause> in the right-hand column of the RUN
OPTIONS screen to resume sampling.
NOTE: The Operator can select <UnpsCrsl> which
unpauses the carousel only.
