What to do if a second Positive Control BI returns a negative result on ASP Laboratory Equipment?
If a second Positive Control BI returns a negative result on the ASP Laboratory Equipment, it may be due to a faulty BI or improper storage. Stop using BIs from that lot and contact ASP.
How to troubleshoot an ASP Laboratory Equipment reader that will not turn on?
If the ASP Laboratory Equipment reader won't turn on, first ensure the correct power adapter is properly installed and plugged into a working outlet. Also, check that the power cord is fully inserted into the back of the reader. Allow 15 minutes for the boot-up process to complete. If it still doesn't power on, contact ASP.
What to do if the barcode cannot be read by ASP Laboratory Equipment?
If the barcode on the ASP Laboratory Equipment can't be read, check the BI for barcode damage. After any active incubation cycles are complete, hard reboot the reader by unplugging the power adapter from the back of the reader, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Try rescanning the barcode.
Why does ASP Laboratory Equipment void the biological indicator in well No. X and what to do?
If an issue occurs causing the biological indicator in well No. X to be void on the ASP Laboratory Equipment, it may be due to vibration or turning of the BI while incubating. The BI is invalid, so reprocess the load with a new BI.
What to do if the BI breaks in the reader well of ASP Laboratory Equipment?
If the BI breaks in the reader well of the ASP Laboratory Equipment, it may be because the BI was activated in the well or the BI is faulty. Ensure the BI is not activated in the well by referring to the BI IFU for proper activation, and contact ASP.
What to do if the reader touch screen does not illuminate on ASP Laboratory Equipment?
If the touch screen on the ASP Laboratory Equipment reader does not illuminate, it may be due to a power failure or backlight failure. Check if the mains power is working and if the unit is plugged in. Unplug the power adapter, wait 30 seconds, and reinstall it. If the problem persists, contact ASP.
Why does ASP Laboratory Equipment say the biological indicator has not been added to well No. X?
If the ASP Laboratory Equipment indicates that the biological indicator hasn't been added to well No. X and the session has been canceled, it is because Well No. X remains empty. Start over and re-enter the BI information. If a BI was inserted but not sensed, perform an insertion sensor calibration.
Why does ASP Laboratory Equipment say this biological indicator is not from a completed cycle?
If the ASP Laboratory Equipment indicates that the biological indicator is not from a completed cycle, it is because the BI is from a canceled cycle. Use a BI from a completed cycle.
What to do if an excessive amount of liquid is spilled on the ASP Laboratory Equipment reader?
If an excessive amount of liquid is spilled on the ASP Laboratory Equipment reader, it may be due to an accidental spill, roof leak, or burst pipe. Unplug the reader, being careful not to touch the spilled liquid. Do not attempt to dry internal components. Contact ASP.
What to do if the ASP Laboratory Equipment says the biological indicator has not been properly activated?
If the ASP Laboratory Equipment indicates that the biological indicator hasn't been properly activated, it means the growth medium hasn't moved into the growth reservoir or has excessive bubbles. Repeat the activation sequence, ensuring the growth medium is free of large bubbles and fills the reservoir. Reinsert the BI in the selected well, and do not cancel the sequence. Simply check the activation and follow the on-screen instructions.
