C.1. HOW TO MANAGE SAMPLES WHILE AN ALARM IS OCCURRING
Never leave samples in open air or under fume hood, to avoid drying.
Put samples as quickly as possible into an external container with one of the following reagent in a quantity
sufficient to cover all samples:
Either Ethanol (90-100%) or Isopropanol
Check the wetness level of at least 10% of samples (in different parts of the rack). If wetness level appears:
GOOD WETNESS WITH NO DOUBTS
A. Let samples in reagent.
B. Check the step when the emergency situation
occurred.
C. Check if the unit can be used for a new cycle
(*).
D. Follow the instructions on how to resume an
interrupted cycle and restart the cycle with
samples using step start procedure.
Select the correct step to start from in the following
table:
NOT GOOD WETNESS
A. Follow the recovery laboratory internal protocols
for air dried samples.
B. If not available, follow Milestone suggested
recovery protocol.
C. Check if the unit can be used for a new cycle
(*).
D. Restart the processing cycle.
