4.3.6. Needle rotor thermostatation system test
This screen makes it possible to check that the temperature of the rotor reactions is 37ºC. To make this test, the
analyzer must be initialised. The methacrylate rotor can be automatically filled with distilled water by pressing the
corresponding button. Once filled, the technician must wait a few minutes for the rotor to be thermostated. The
temperature in the rotor wells must be measured with a temperature calibrated at 37ºC through the dispensing
hole of the rotor cover. A button makes it possible to turn the rotor in increases of 15 wells to change the well on
which the measurement is being taken. The program shows the set point temperature of the current control. This
parameter must be other than 37ºC. The technician must measure the temperature of the water with the calibrated
thermometer in the wells and enter the temperature on the screen. The program indicates if the temperature
measured is within the tolerated error margins and stores this value for the test result reports.
