Shutting Down
The system should be shut down and restarted every seven days (or more frequently). In the
event of a power loss, allow the instrument to shut itself down.
To s hu t d ow n:
1. Unload all sample racks and ARs from the system.
2. Ensure that the system is not deactivating MTUs.
The system must be in Standby mode in order to proceed.
3. Click Shutdown on the Logoff/Shutdown
screen.
The computer workstation automatically shuts down.
4. Turn off the analyzer using the power switch located on the front of the analyzer.
5. Restart the system.
a) Ensure that all system doors, covers, and drawers are closed.
b) Turn on the analyzer.
c) Turn on the computer workstation.

Caution: If the Shutdown button is disabled (grayed out), preventing shutdown through
the software, contact Novartis Diagnostics Technical Service for assistance. DO NOT
attempt to shut down the system by pressing the power button on the CPU—doing so
could result in corruption of the database or software, or loss of data.
Note: Every time the system is shut down, the Lower Bay inventory must be re-validated
and the internal system modules must be allowed to reach the correct temperatures before
running samples. This process may take two hours.
Note: Shutdown may be delayed if the system is printing or processing an LIS
transmission. If the system is in an error state, it cannot be shut down using the Logoff/
Shutdown screen. Refer to Volume III, Error Handling for more information about shutting
down in error conditions.
Note: If the system is deactivating MTUs, wait approximately 30 minutes for the
Shutdown button to become enabled. This 30-minute waiting period will restart if
any of the following tasks are performed: Maintenance tasks (all), inventory tasks
(Lower Bay or ARs), priming, queueing an assay, or running an assay.
Note: Keep the system on and in Standby mode when not in use.
