Preparing the system
12
Scan the barcode on the bottle.
A screen is displayed, asking you to place the bottle on the reagent disk.
13
Remove the cap from the bottle and place it in the reagent bay.
14
Press to confirm the insertion.
If you confirm without placing the bottle, the system assumes that the bottle is
placed.
If you press after placing the bottle, the position is deemed empty.
When the first reagent bottle is loaded, the reagent set is defined. From this
moment on, the reagents are handled as part of the set. You no longer handle
them as individual reagents.
15
Do one of the following:
When scanning, bear this in mind:
o Scanning its barcode is the only way of identifying a reagent, diluent, and cleaner
bottle.
o If there are not enough free positions for all bottles of the set, a message will inform
you.
o You cannot re-insert empty bottles that were previously removed from the system.
If you scan such bottle, a message will inform you of this fact.
Time limit for placing reagent bottles
o The system assumes that you place the bottle that you just scanned.
o You need to place the reagent bottle on the reagent disk within 15 seconds of
scanning the reagent barcode. Failing to confirm the placement within 15 seconds
cancels the current identification process. You will be asked to scan the bottle
again.
Incorrect results due to not placing the identified reagent
The system assumes that the operator places the reagent that was just identified. Fail-
ing to do so might lead to wrong results.
If Do this
There is another bottle
belonging to the set:
A screen is displayed, asking you to scan the bottle.
1. Scan the bottle
2. Insert the bottle.
3. Press to confirm the insertion.
All bottles of the set are
inserted:
1. Close the main cover.
On the screen with the reagent set buttons, the button
for the new set is now present.
