78 ADVIA 2400 Operator’s Guide
NOTE:
If you are running patient samples on the onboard sample tray, you must load
the samples before starting the run. On the optional universal rack handler, load the rack
carrier on the infeed tray and push the Start/Pause switch to start the run. Control and
calibrator samples must be loaded on the onboard sampler (STT).
1. If the rack handler is not turned on, set the rack handler READY/STANDBY switch
to
READY
.
2. At the Windows desktop, double-select the rack handler icon.
You must use barcode labels to identify each sample. (Position numbers cannot be
used.) Properly affix each barcode label and make it visible through the slot in the
rack.
Figure 2-2. Loading sample onto rack
3. Load the racks with the sample tubes and slide the loaded racks onto the rack carrier.
CAUTION
You must have a unique barcode label on each rack to avoid universal rack handler
user errors.
If you use the same sample rack on the rack handler and on an
ADVIA Centaur system with the same ID labels but different series numbers (2, 3,
4), the rack handler reads the barcodes as duplicate rack IDs. This can cause software
errors.
4. Load racks onto the carrier.
5. Lift the carrier by the handle and place it on the infeed tray
6. Push the Start/Pause switch to start the rack handler.
CAUTION
If for any reason you must remove the carriers manually from the system, do not
push the carriers back into the outfeed buffer.
When the top cover is raised and the infeed pusher arm is in the up position, avoid
injury by bending over and coming into contact with the pusher arm.
