5.5 Analyzing the Sample (Open Tube) (continued)
Choose List, Sample, or Main menu to begin sample analysis.
Analyzer must be in one of these operation modes to aspirate.
Aspirate the sample through the aspiration probe by gently inserting
aspiration probe into the sample tube, and then press the whole blood
start plate behind the left aspiration probe. (See Figure 5.10)
Follow the instruction on the menu when to remove the sample tube.
A beep should be heard indicating sample removal.
Wipe the aspiration probe with a clean, dry lint free absorbent cloth before
sample aspiration. Not following this technique may impact accuracy if
repeating the assay.
Not removing the sample tube, could result in incorrect washing sequence
of the aspiration probe.
Do not remove sample prior to instruction, incomplete aspiration could
occur, causing erroneous results.
As there are no assurances of the absence of HIV, Hepatitis B or C viruses
or other infectious agents in blood samples, controls, and calibrators these
products should be handled as potentially biohazardous.
Refer to local regulations and established laboratory protocol for handling
biohazardous materials.
