Place bar-coded control samples in rack. All tube bar code labels must be visible through the
slots on the same side of the rack as the rack bar code label.

When Auto Generation of Control is enabled, the automatic Multiple Cartridge option is
available. With the Multiple Cartridge option enabled, the system automatically runs all
cartridges onboard and runnable for any chemistries for an auto generated control. To enable

on the analyzer.
The instrument automatically runs chemistries that are:
•
Defined for the control.
•
Loaded and calibrated.
•
Contain sufficient volume to run the controls.
4
If all tests programmed for an Auto Generated control ID do not complete testing (for example,
reagent not onboard, calibration required, cal time exceeded or disabled), the next time the
control ID is loaded, all tests for the control will Auto Generate and be run again. If a control ID
that was Manually programmed does not complete testing, the next time the control ID is
loaded, only the incomplete test will be run. A Manually programmed control ID that is
incomplete must be manually cleared before reloading the sample in order to Auto Generate all
tests for the control.
