Electrode Cartridge Exchange Process Detail
Electrode Cartridge exchange process detail
The Electrode Cartridge change process includes several background tasks
such as:
• electronic deregistration of the old cartridge,
• electronic registration of the new cartridge
• validation of information stored on the internal memory
• short functionality test with the TapeStation Test Tape
After an Electrode Cartridge Change a banner shows results of the outcome.
Users are subsequently guided to execute a System Validation test in any case.
This additional system validation is not mandatory to continue working with
the instrument but is recommended for good laboratory practice reasons.
The Electrode Cartridge Change is successful if the following criteria are
fulfilled:
• The inserted Electrode Cartridge was successfully registered
• The date of first use is the current day
• No samples were analyzed with it
• The electrical functionality test with the TapeStation Test Tape passed
