Pre-Start Checks
Prior to the first processing run each day, perform the
following pre-start checks and services:
• Verify a new drip tray liner has been placed on the
Transfer Arm drip pan.
NOTE: If necessary, replace the drip tray liner on the
Transfer Arm drip pan (see “Drip Tray Liner Replacement”
on page 7.7 for details).
• Verify that the Loading Station container is filled
with Pre-Processing Solution (product code 7115).
• Verify the handle of the loading station container is
resting on the rim of the container.
• Verify the Transfer Arm is not holding a basket or
magazine set, and that there are no or magazines
baskets in the Loading Station, Unloading Station,
or in any retort.
• Verify that all retort lids are closed. If any lids are
open, close them manually.
• Verify both reagent containers are full. Ensure
both reagent containers are in their proper posi-
tions in the cabinet, and that locking levers for
both containers are in the locked position.
NOTE: If the reagent containers are not full, replace the
reagents prior to starting the system (see “Reagent
Replacement” on page 7.4 for details).
• Verify both paraffin ovens contain sufficient
amounts of paraffin.
If necessary, verify the Unloading Station retort contains
a sufficient amount of paraffin.
NOTE: If sufficient paraffin is not available in either paraffin
oven, replace the paraffin prior to starting the system (see
“Retort #3 and #4 Paraffin Replacement” on page 7.5 and
“Unloading Station Paraffin Replacement” on page 7.7 for
details).
NOTE: It is recommended to ensure proper processing of
tissue specimens, reagent sets MUST be changed at the
same time.
