Notice: There will be no Applications which will be ready to install. All wanted
Applications must be imported first (via BTS or USB Stick) to be ready to install them.
With Software Version 3.0 and higher the database will be delivered empty. The only
to Profiles which will be available are ISE-I and ISE –U.
10.
Prepare the additional material required to run the ISE, like electrodes, calibrator
indirect, reference solution, solution 1 and solution 2.
11.
Check the correct placement of all pre-mounted ISE tubing.
12.
Mount all ISE valve caps (and clamps if necessary). Do this using the diagnostic
function “Check ISE valves”. Use this function to open the valves first, to avoid
bending of the valve shafts.
13.
Check that sample inlet tube is correctly mounted to the mixing tower holder
inside the base instrument.
14.
Read in the barcode from the Reference Fluid and Calibrator indirect bottle and
place the bottles into the ISE module. Insert the respective tubing into the bottle.
15.
Insert the reference electrode, using the system SW. At the step where it is
requested to insert the electrode insert also all the other electrodes.
Notice:
Take care to avoid air bubbles in the electrolyte at the lower end of the
electrode body.
16.
Read in the barcodes of Na, K and CL (Dummy electrode) accordingly.
17.
Check the electrodes, the valves and the tubing for correct placement. During the
following step watch the valves to operate correctly.
18.
Check if the peristaltic pump cover is closed.
19.
Use the maintenance action “Prime ISE calibrator and reference” to prime the
tubing.
20.
Use the maintenance action “Initialize ISE reference sensor” to set the controller
SW properly recognizing air bubbles in the reference tubing. (Please follow the
procedure given by the SW).
21.
Close all covers.
22.
Use the maintenance action “Condition Tubing”. For this action you will need
Activator prepared in a HHT-Cup.
23.
Use the maintenance action “Initialize ISE” to initialize the ISE unit. This action
needs Activator.
24.
Selecting the ISE status button and the “>>”-Button, you will be guided to
perform an “Electrode Service” now, which needs Activator, Etcher and Depro-
teinizer on board.
25.
Read the barcode of the ISE Calibration Kit and install the desired ISE tests in the
Applications Menu.
26.
As a general function test run a single CHECK test first. For this purpose Import
and install the CHECK test application and order a single test only, like as you
would order any other test. Check that the result is within the range printed on
the CHECK test solution bottle. Later on you may disable the CHECK test.
Notice:
The calibration result for the CHECK test that is stored in the database
cannot be deleted, as it is always used as reference.
27.
Reset Maintenance Counter: Please choose “Utilities -> Diagnostics -> Analyzer -
> Installation Completed”
28.
Calibrate now all ISE tests. The calibrations must be flag free.
29.
Prepare the requested reagent bottles and insert them into the instrument.
30.
Prepare the calibrators and QC material accordingly and calibrate all tests.
31.
Check the test performance by running controls.
