Operator's Manual - Version 1.6 - 10/2015 2-5
2.1. Introduction
2.1.1 Operator training
A service technician is present when the cobas p 512 is being installed to provide operator
training. This training is designed to prepare the future user to perform daily routine
operations without close supervision and work safely with the system by observing safety
instructions.
2.1.2 Customer configuration
Before being installed at the customer's location, the system software is configured with all
processing parameters required to perform daily routine operations. The software
configuration takes into consideration all information about the sample tubes to be used, the
associated sample types (for example, serum, coagulation), and the relevant positions in the
sorting area.
All processing movements made by the sorter unit and other moving components are pre-
programmed and optimized to perform the work flow required by the customer.
Extensive tests are carried out on this software configuration by the manufacturer to ensure
that the system can be immediately deployed at the customer's location.
