ThinPrep 2000 Processor Operator’s Manual
Remove Slide to Continue Processing
Reason for Message
This message is designed to ensure that cell transfer occurs only once per slide. The slide from a pre-
vious run has not been ejected or a slide was present in the slide handler when the instrument power
was turned on. The processor will pause until the operator corrects the situation.
Possible Causes
• System powered on with slide installed.
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.
