USER INTERFACE
Touch the button for each filter tray to display the selection of filter types. Select the exact type by
touching the name on the screen. The button label for that tray will change to reflect the selection.
The types of ThinPrep filters are:
•
Gyn/Imager
- Clear filters for use with gynecologic samples
•
Non-Gyn
- Blue filters for general cytology
•
UroCyte
- Yellow filters for use in conjunction with the Vysis
®
UroVysion assay
When a filter tray is empty, the system will draw off of the next tray that has the same type of filters
in it. If no other filter tray has the same type of filters, then the user is notified that there are no filters
available.
Important:
The system can sense whether filters are in a tray or not, but it cannot sense what
type of filter it is. The system only knows what filter type was set previously. The user must always
select the filter type.
