System Backup
The AEROSET System hard disk provides storage for System
configuration, assay configuration, assay calibration, quality control, and
robotics adjustment data. When the hard disk fails, the System Backup
and Restore functions provide an alternative to rerunning all assay
calibrations, repositioning all the robotics, and reconfiguring the System.
System backup is recommended after any of the following:
• New assay installation and calibration
• Values for a new lot of multiconstituent calibrators are entered
• QC means are adjusted or edited for a new lot of controls
• Changes are made to System configuration files
• Robotic adjustments are made by the Customer or Field Service
Representative
• In addition to the unscheduled System backups listed above, the
Customer should determine an interval for System backup to
capture QC or calibration data.
The AEROSET System Backup Procedure provides a means to transfer
System and assay files onto floppy disks. The files are divided among
five separate Backup and Restore options with each option requiring one
formatted floppy disk. The following table describes the files saved to
each disk:
