graphically.
If some cases, you may have to confirm certain screen messages or enter values. If threshold values have been set, the
number of cassettes to be processed must be entered.
The instrument control checks the remaining melting time for the paraffin baths when the program starts. If the runtime
is expected to be extended, the operator must confirm the existence of an end time delay.

5. Operation
1.
Make sure that the correct mode for the program to be started has been set in the system settings (for more information,
refer to
Chapter 5.1.2
).
All infiltration programs have to be validated before use, i.e. tissue processing with patient tissue for
diagnostics, by the laboratory itself according to the local or regional accreditation requirements.
For an Autorotation program, CONCENTRATION MUST have been set, and the specified filling scheme for
system bottles and RTU-bottles must be present before the program can be started.
