INSTRUMENT TROUBLESHOOTING
6.14
ThinPrep 2000 Processor Operator’s Manual
Remove Slide
Reason for Message
This message appears when the instrument has completed processing a slide and the slide has not
been ejected from the slide handler. This error generally occurs when another error condition has
occurred which prevents the instrument from ejecting the slide. The processor will pause until the
operator corrects the situation.
Possible Causes
• Error recovery requires slide removal.
Procedure
See flowchart on next page.
Notes
To remove a slide, push down on the front edge of the slide. While holding the slide by this edge,
gently pull the slide out of the instrument.
If the slide is installed and it has cells on it, the cells on the slide are likely to be air-dried.
