Reagent Barcode Maintenance window*
NOTE:
Access to this window is through a tech_manager and service logon level only.
Please contact your technical service provider or distributor in order to change the
default settings on this window.
Use this window to maintain barcode information for the reagents in RTT1 and RTT2. To
confirm that the correct barcode is scanned, use the Reagent Barcode Confirmation
window.
In this window, you can delete specific reagent codes and specific reagent barcodes from
the ADVIA reagent barcode database. Only use this function to delete an old reagent
code or reagent barcode that may have the same lot number and container number as a
new reagent container you want to place on the system. In most circumstances, you do
not have to use this functionality.
The barcode maintenance database can store a maximum of 200 reagent codes (assays)
and up to 2000 individual reagent barcodes. If the database exceeds the limit of 2000
barcodes, the oldest stored barcode is replaced with the most current barcode.
The reagents are listed in the same order as they display in the System Test List window.
The Reagent Barcode and Date Opened on System information for one or more reagents
displays when a Reagent Code is selected.
