1. Make sure [Ready to Test] is displayed.
2. Open the sampler cover.
3. Set a sample rack.
Set a specified sample rack for the test tube to be used at
the 1 SET POSITION (indicated by the label) on the analyzer.
NOTE: Be sure to set the sample rack down to the bottom.
4. Obtain test information from PMS (If the device is
connected to PMS).
If the device is connected to PMS, you can obtain patient
IDs and test requests from PMS by using WORK LIST in the
test preparation dialogue. (For details, refer to Section 3.8.2.)
5. Load slides in a slide cartridge.
Place slides to be tested, printed test name facing up, in a
slide cartridge. Be sure to put a slide weight on top of the
slide cartridge.
6. Place the slide cartridge in the analyzer.
Place the slide cartridge properly with the label side facing
the 2 SET POSITION (indicated by the label) in the analyzer.
NOTE: Be sure to set the slide cartridge firmly in place so that it
is not lifted. Otherwise, a reading error may occur.
7. Put tips into holes “a” and “b” on the sample rack.
8. Set a sample tube in the sample rack.
Remove the cap from the sample tube which contains the
sample. Place the tube in the sample rack.
NOTE: To avoid an error, make sure there are no bubbles in the
sample. Use a centrifuge to remove bubbles.
9. Place a DRI-CHEM MIXING CUP (henceforth, mixing cup)

Place a mixing cup on the sample rack (MIX CUP) and
pour in 300–400 L of diluent into the left-hand hole
(indicated “D”) of the mixing cup.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to set a mixing cup. Otherwise, sample will be
dropped directly onto the sample rack as this may cause
contamination.
NOTE:
Do not pour liquid into the right-hand hole of the
mixing cup.
