Gate 2 – is a set of three (Barcode) BCR Type 3 gate devices (G2
Æ a, b, and c) located on the i2000SR IM Lane 1. The set stops
and reads the carrier RFID tag and rotates the carrier to allow the
Barcode reader to scan and identify the label on the tube. For On-
line carriers from the APS track, the link between the SID and
RFID is verified by the APS. Samples that are manually inserted
into Off-line carriers at either a Routine or Priority location are
scanned and a link is created between the RFID and SID.
G2a Electro valve EV5 controls the gate that stops the carrier
at the barcode reader.
G2b Electro valve EV6 controls the roller that drops on the
carrier that causes the carrier to spin.
G2c Electro valve EV7 controls the stop gate before the spin
area. To prevent drag on the spinning carrier, the G2c gate stops
the second carrier before the spin area.
NOTE:
Since the off-line carriers do not leave the i2000SR IM,
their SID is communicated via the Master Tag Reader
board.
Gate 3 – (G3) is the STAT Sampling Gate located on Lane 1 and is
operated by electro valve EV8. This Type 3 gate stops the carrier
for tube sampling in front of the i2000SR STAT sampling position.
Tube identification is obtained by reading the RFID. The i2000SR
IM Mater Tag Reader board sends the corresponding SID to the
i2000SR. The i2000SR performs a host query to determine the
test ordered. Prior to each aspiration, the RFID is read.
NOTE:
Should the RFID change before the carrier is released, a
sample presentation error is generated and in standalone
the i2000SR system run is stopped
Gate 4 – (G4) is the Routine Sampling Gate located on Lane 1 and
is operated by electro valve EV9. This Type 3 gate stops the
carrier in front of the i2000SR routine sampling position. Tube
identification is obtained reading the RFID. The i2000SR IM sends
the corresponding SID to the i2000SR. The i2000SR performs a
host query to determine the test ordered. Prior to each aspiration,
the RFID is read.
NOTE:
Should the RFID change before the carrier is released, a
sample presentation error is generated and in standalone
the i2000SR system run is stopped
Gate 5 – (G5) is located on Lane 2 and is operated by electro
valve EV11. This Type 1 gate stops the carrier on Lane 2 to avoid
