4.2.2 Status Display
The Status display is the main display shown when no other operation has been initiated or is in
progress. It is the initial display that appears when the instrument starts up or restarts.
The Status display is shown in Figure 4-1. It provides a quick overview of testing status, station
availability, and vial statuses such as positive, negative, and anonymous (see Section 4.2.4 for more
information about vial statuses).
Once a drawer is opened, you can initiate the major instrument activities from the Status display. Vial
Entry, remove positive vials, remove negative vials, and Identify Anonymous Vials can be initiated
for any drawer in the instrument or current stack. (Each of the activities is discussed in greater detail
later in this section.) Demographic information (accession only in BD EpiCenter configuration) can be
added to vial records in the Culture display, accessed through the Culture button. The Drawer View
display (Figure
4-3), accessed by selecting Drawer view, shows the status of each station in a
representational view of the drawer. Finally, a list of System Alerts can also be reviewed by selecting
System Alerts.
The Vial Entry (Figure 4-2), Identify Anonymous, Positive Removal, and Negative Removal activity
displays present station counts for the current drawer for Positive, Negative, Blocked, Ongoing,
Anonymous, and Available Stations.
