1st Car’r for No-
Bcode Smpls (No-
Bar Coded
Samples)
Allows configuration to restrict samples without bar code
labels to specific sample carriers. This option must be
configured to run samples without bar code labels or with
damaged bar code labels. The default setting is 1000.
NOTE: Refer to System Configuration (1st
Car’r for No-Bcode Smpls) in this section for
detailed information on available settings and
options.
Example: If set to 5000, the System would allow samples
without bar code labels to be run only in sample carriers
with IDs 5000 or higher.
CAUTION: Reuse of sample carrier positions equal to
or greater than the setting configured 1st Car’r for
No-Bcode Smpls may result in duplication of
previously assigned sample IDs and generation of
incorrect results. Refer to Loading Patient Samples in
Section 5, Operating Instructions of the AEROSET
System Operations Manual for additional
information about loading samples on the
FastTrack™ Sampler or Sample Carousel.
Cycle Time (0.1) Allows the Operator to enter the length of time, in tenths
of seconds, for each quarter turn of the Reaction
Carousel. The default is 45 (x 0.1 sec = 4.5 seconds).
CAUTION: The Abbott applications were determined
using a cycle time of 4.5 seconds. If this option is
edited, the timing and results of all assays would be
affected.
Save by
Car’r ID
When selected, orders are tracked in the database by
carrier and position. The default setting is ON.
CAUTION: When this option is selected, the
sample ID must be manually entered to ensure proper
sample identification.
CAUTION: If the Save by Car’r ID option is
configured ON, a manually entered sample ID is not
verified against the patient bar code label on the tube.
NOTE: If samples have bar code labels and the
Sample Bar Codes option is configured ON, the
Save by Car’r ID option must be OFF
(deselected).
Option Description
1st Carrier for No-Bar Coded
Samples:
Example: Segregate non-bar coded sam-
ples in the Sample Carousel where they
are more easily tracked.

Cycle Time (0.1):
• (super password) Would never
have any reason to edit this
with Abbott assays.
If this is changed, you would see multiple
assay concerns, mainly rate assays
(enzymes) due to their calculation as a
rate of change in absorbance/time.
