Carousel Report
Figure 6-95 Carousel Report Button
At the conclusion of processing, there may be vials, filters and slides left in the carousel. The carousel
report details what is left in the carousel and its status.
• Usually this is due to
sample error
and the vial that did not process successfully is left in the
carousel for operator resolution.
• Occasionally a
system error
may halt processing and any media that was in transit through
the processing path is placed in the carousel.
Only the most recent carousel report exists at any time. Each new carousel report that is generated
replaces the current one.
Note:
If a carousel of samples is run using Small Batch Mode, a batch report is generated at the con-
clusion of the run. It is located on the Batch Reports screen. Carousel Reports are only gener-
ated when using the AutoLoader.
Refer to Carousel Report, Figure 6-96. The Carousel Report has a summary section, carousel position
details section and a position status map.
Vial and slide status
Error Hold
- that vial has a sample processing error and it was not returned to the vial tray. A slide
has been etched, but no cells applied. It is in the carousel with the vial. See the details section to
resolve the error.
Waiting Return
- the vial was processed successfully and a slide was processed and deposited into
the bath. A system error condition prevented the vial from being returned to the vial tray.
Unprocessed
- A system error was encountered and the vial was not processed. A slide has been
etched, but no cells applied. The slide is in the carousel with the vial. See the details section to resolve
the error.
Note:
If the operator aborted processing by pressing
Pause
and then selecting
End Immediately
(see “Pause a Batch” on page 6.19) media will be left in the carousel, rather than being put
away. The operator must see to the disposition of these vials and slides.
