BD PrepMate Automated Accessory - Fault Messages

BD PrepMate™ Instrument User’s Manual

TRAY ALIGNED, PRESS
RUN TO CONTINUE
This message is displayed when the tray has been repositioned properly. When the tray is in
place and this message is displayed, visually confirm that the row of syringes is aligned with
the vertical assembly that picks them up, and then press RUN to continue. This message is
only displayed after the TRAY MOVEMENT DETECT RE-ALIGN TRAY message has been
displayed, and the tray has been properly repositioned.
TRAY MOVEMENT DETECT
RE-ALIGN TRAY
This message indicates that a tray is out of alignment. This can occur if the tray is bumped
out of position. Move the tray gradually forward or backward until the TRAY ALIGNED,
PRESS RUN TO CONTINUE message is displayed. When the tray is in place, visually
confirm that the row of syringes is aligned with the vertical assembly that picks them up, and
then press RUN to continue. If the message appears again, it indicates a fault with the
horizontal sensor. Call Becton, Dickinson and Company Technical Support or your
authorized distributor.
WRONG DRAW VOLUME
PRESS RUN TO RETRY
The mechanical draw action of the syringes is verified on each draw. This message is
displayed if the draw action is insufficient.
The last step of the BD PrepMate™ operating instructions is a visual verification of the
draw volume. The absence of this error message indicates only that the mechanical draw
action is correct. A visual verification step still needs to be performed.
This problem can be caused by a clog in one of the syringe tips. Retry the draw cycle by
pressing RUN (this can be repeated as many times as desired.) If the message continues to
display after several tries, call Becton, Dickinson and Company Technical Support or your
authorized distributor.
7.3 Fault messages
Fault messages are displayed when the instrument detects that there is a problem that requires
repair. All such faults are identified by a CALL MAINTENANCE message that also describes the
type of failure.
If one of these messages is displayed, contact Becton, Dickinson and Company Technical
Support or your authorized distributor.
