RECOVERY PROCESS
5.2
Revised 10/02/2012
•
If the
YES button is pressed, an advisory mes-
sage displays (Figure 5-C). All baskets must be
removed from the system, and one of two op-
tions,
GO TO STANDBY or SHUTDOWN can be
selected.
Figure 5-C
•
If the
SHUTDOWN button is pressed, the system
will shut down. The main power switch can also
be turned off if it appears that the instrument will
require service.
•
If the
STANDBY button is pressed, the instru-
ment will revert to the standby mode and the
WARMING UP SCREEN will display. The warm-
ing up screen ensures that the reagents are at
the proper temperature to continue processing. It
is not possible to override this procedure. Once
the warming up process is completed, the in-
strument will go into the STANDBY mode and is
again ready for processing.
Starting a Processing Run in
Retort 3 or 4
It may be necessary to reprocess a specimen or group
of specimens beginning in Retort 3 or 4 due to an error
condition that suspended processing, or because of a
technical processing issue.
NOTE: There are no special recovery methods for those
specimens that may have been suspended in Retorts 1 or 2.
These specimens can be reprocessed by placing them back
into Retort 1 without compromising specimen integrity.
NOTE: If the Tissue-Tek Xpress x120 will be down for longer
than 1 hour, place the tissue specimens in Molecular
Fixative until instrument is operational. Preprocessing does
not have to be repeated prior to reprocessing. If Molecular
Fixative is not available place the tissue specimen in 10%
NBF. Once the instrument is operational the preprocessing
steps must be repeated prior to reprocessing.
To reprocess specimens starting in Retort 3 or 4:
1.
From the UTILITIES screen, touch the
PROCESS
RECOVERY button.
NOTE: The PROCESS RECOVERY button is enabled
only during the WARMING UP SYSTEM cycle.
