4.2.6.2 Automatic Adjustment
Only if results from instrument check procedure are out of range, perform an
automatic Calibration by using the Channel Calibration Tool and Adjustment
Program "PIP AUTOADJUSTMENT.MCR". All Calibration values will be newly
defined according to the current state of the Instrument. If any corrective action must
take place, refer to section 6 Adjustment and Calibration on page 6-1.
4.2.7 Weekly Maintenance (ML STAR IVD)
Run the Weekly Maintenance procedure from User Software.
4.2.8 Verification
Run the Volume verification (Verification Kit).
4.2.9 Performing a test run
For general information on how to create a Method, refer to the User Manual.
Create a Method for Tip Pickup, Aspirating, Dispensing and Tip Eject. Observe the
precision of movements especially during Tip Pickup. Decide if the Instrument is
ready to run or if any corrective action must take place.
For example, if Tips are not picked up, or only after several tries (Firmware error
handling), adjust and calibrate the Pipetting Arm and Channels.
For Instruments with Autoload Option, extend your Method with a loading and
unloading Step involving the Tip Rack Carrier.
If, during loading or unloading, the instrument reports any “Steps lost”, calibration
must take place.
4.2.10 Service Software Removal
After successful installation remove Service Software from Customers PC
Generally - see section 3.4 Deinstallation of Service Software on page 3-7.
Attention: Do not leave the Service Software permanently installed on a Customer's
PC as this will enable any user of that PC to "play" with the system - with potentially
damaging results!
