Running Samples
NOTE: If a QC run fails, the system will not allow the operator to run
specimens. The QC run should be repeated and be successful before
running patient specimens.
CAUTION: The instrument should be allowed to warm up for 50 minutes if
it was turned off for more than 6 hours.
1. Make sure that sufficient supplies and consumables are available to
complete the anticipated workload; see Consumables Traceability.
2. Run the QC Rack on the iChemVELOCITY. See Running QC.
3. While the controls are running, transfer patient specimens into
barcode labeled tubes and place the tubes into the sample rack(s).
4. When QC results are satisfactory for both instruments, place the
sample racks containing specimens on the right side of the
iChemVELOCITY Sampler.
5. If the iChemVELOCITY is in Measure (blue light lit), block the sensor
at the front of the Sampler (nearest to the operator), and the rack will
move to the sampling position automatically.
