Sample Processing
•
Samples are loaded into Carriers
•
Carriers are slid into RSH priority sections or placed into Carrier Trays which are slid into the
Routine Bays for sampling.
-
Trays and/or Sample Carriers may be inserted into a position with a status of
Access
(indicated by a steady green light)
•
A robotic mechanism, called the Carrier Transport Assembly, is used to transport the Sample
Carriers from:
-
the bay to the RSH Bar Code Reader
-
The RSH Bar Code Reader reads the Sample Carrier ID Label and sample tube
bar code label
-
RSH Bar Code Reader to the Carrier Positioner Assembly
-
The Carrier Positioner moves Sample Carriers into position for aspiration by
the Processing Module Sample Pipettors
-
When sample aspiration is complete for all samples in a Sample Carrier at a
particular Processing Module, the RSH transports it to the next processing
module in the system for further processing as applicable
-
When a Sample Carrier contains samples with a mixture of assay
orders, the Sample Carrier is usually transported to the chemistry
PM first and then to the immunochemistry analyzer
-
the Carrier Positioner back to the bay.
-
When all tests for all samples in a given Sample Carrier are aspirated, the
Sample Carrier is returned to its original bay
•
Indicator lights located on the front of the RSH provide Sample Carrier status information to
the operator.
