4.1.4 Fitting the waste bag for reaction modules (MAGLUMI
®
Waste Bag)
The holder for the waste bag (MAGLUMI® Waste Bag) for used
reaction modules is located on the right side of the analyzer next to
the measuring chamber.
Waste Bag Installation
1. Remove the cover of the waste bag support on the right side of
the analyzer.
2. Install one of the supplied MAGLUMI
®
waste bags
3. Fit the waste bag with support and close it off with the support
cover.
Ensure that the waste bag is correctly fitted in and underneath
the holder; otherwise the analyzer may stop due to jamming of
the following of reaction modules at the edge of the waste bag.
When the waste bag is full, it must be removed from the holder,
sealed with the waste bag cover provided and disposed of
according to local regulations.
4.1.5 Loading reaction modules
Reaction modules are plastic containers with 6 cavities each where
the sample reaction occurs and is measured.
Reaction Module Installation
1. Open a pack of MAGLUMI
®
Modules as directed and remove a
set (8 modules) of reaction modules from the pack.
2. Place these on the stationary conveyor at right angles to
the direction of transport.
3. The conveyor then starts up and moves the reaction modules
into the stacker.
4. When the conveyor stops, the next set can be loaded.
5. Repeat this process until the stacker is sufficiently full. Its
maximum capacity is 110 reaction modules.
