Do not open the analyser lid during the run cycle, as this will cause the moving parts to stop
immediately for safety purposes and all assays underway will be lost.
The solid waste can contain 400 cuvettes. Empty the solid waste before to start the run cycle.
3-8- Assays
•
Click on .
•
If all the items required for carrying out the programmed workload are available, the analyser initialises and
begins aspirating samples.
•
If any of the items required to carry out the programmed workload are missing, a window is opened which
lists them all.
•
Install the missing items then click on . The analyser will begin aspirating samples.
•
The run cycle monitoring window displays. After 30 seconds an estimated time for the end of processing all
the on-board samples is displayed.
The run cycle will start even if some items are missing.
The analyser will then carry out all the assays for which all required items are available.
The missing items can be installed at any time during the assay by following the procedures
described below.
Comment:
For the removable-tray configuration, each on-board tray will be carried out, whether or not defined for
automatic start.
3-8-1- Performing assays
Assays are carried out in the following order:
•
Calibrations.
•
Controls.
•
Emergency (STAT) samples.
•
Samples.
At the run start, samples are tested in the order of the sample compartment positions.
A predictive list including all the tests that will be sent to the analyser is established when starting the run for all
the products installed onto the sample compartment, according to the priority order mentioned above. The
contour colour of each relevant position turns to blue.
Tests are sent to the analyser 5 at a time, up to a maximum of 90.
During a run cycle, a test may be terminated by the analyser as a result of certain faults, details of which can
be viewed by clicking the ‘Warning’ messages button. Faults may include:
•
Calibration fails to comply with the criteria for automatic validation.
•
The result of the control violates one of the Westgard rules (if activated).
•
One of the reagents or a diluent required for the test has been detected as missing.
•
One of the reagents or a diluent is empty.
When issues preventing test completion have been resolved, the test will be automatically restarted.
