5 SAMPLE HANDLING AND PATIENT TESTING
5.3 Running A Patient Sample
(Whole Blood, Serum and Plasma)
The OPTI CCA-TS2 Analyzer is fast and easy to
operate. Whenever the
<Ready>
screen appears,
the unit is ready for sample measurement.
1. Turn on the OPTI CCA-TS2 and wait until this
display appears (Fig. 5-1).
2. If security is enabled
(see Section 3.2.3)
, log in
to the OPTI using your user ID and password
(Fig. 5-2).
•
The user ID you use to log in will appear in
the user ID fields on printouts and logs for
all activities you perform until you log off.
3. Scan the bar code on the OPTI cassette package
by holding it 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) from the bar
code scanner located on the bottom right-hand
corner of the analyzer (Fig. 5-1).
•
The red line from the bar code scanner
should cover the entire bar code.
•
A beep and a green status light indicates a
valid bar code.
•
A red status light and error message
indicates an invalid bar code (e.g. cassette
expired) (See Chapter 8, Troubleshooting).
NOTE: Refer to special handling instructions inside
the cassette box for refrigerated cassettes.
NOTE: If the bar code is damaged or unreadable,
press
<Manual Entry>
and enter the bar
code digits using the numeric keypad.
•
If you are using the same lot number of
cassettes as for the previous patient sample
and the
<Last Barcode Enable>
option
is enabled in setup (Section 3.2.2.2), you do
not have to scan the cassette barcode.
You can press the
<Last Entry>
button
(Fig. 5-1) instead and the cassette
information will be recalled. The analyzer
will identify the lot number, and prompt
you to open the cover, wipe and insert the
cassette and close the cover.
