Enter the total number of sections and a one-character separator. The total number of sections must
be between two and four. For example, if a vial ID always starts with data that is not the accession ID,
the ThinPrep 5000 processor with AutoLoader can be configured to consider the vial ID as two
segments: “Field 1” and the accession ID.
Touch the box to the right of the text to open the keypad. Enter the number or character and press
Done to return to the Vial Information screen. Press the Save Changes button to save and return to
the Configure Vial ID screen. The Configure Vial ID screen now displays the number of sections.
Touch the position of the section where the accession ID is. In this example, the vial ID starts with the
accession ID and has three additional fields. In this example, the accession ID and the three
additional fields are separated by a “|” (vertical line) character.
