Troubleshooting Alarms
Warning:
Use caution when interacting with the Quantum device, because it has moving parts that
could injure fingers and entangle hair, clothing, or other personal articles.
Warning: Avoid pinching your fingers when opening and closing the incubator door.
The Quantum system monitors itself throughout a task, and if the system detects a condition that
requires attention, it sounds a critical alarm or a non
‑
critical alarm, depending on the level of severity.
Critical alarms and non
‑
critical alarms are defined as follows:
• Critical alarm: occurs when a condition exists that interferes with the cell expansion process. The
system responds to a critical alarm by taking an action to prevent interference with the cell
expansion process. For example, the system might pause or stop a task, turn off the incubator, or
turn off the IC inlet and EC inlet pumps. Critical alarms are displayed in a red Alarm window.
If the
Continue
button is disabled, you must resolve the condition that caused the critical alarm
before you can clear the alarm. If the
Continue
button is enabled, you should resolve the condition
that caused the alarm before moving forward. If user authentication is enabled, you must be signed
in to the system to access the
Continue
button on a critical alarm. If you are not signed in, minimize
the alarm and sign in to the system. For more information, see “Signing In to the System” on
page 2-16.
• Non
‑
critical alarm: warns you about a condition that could potentially interfere with the cell
expansion process. The system does not take any action when a non
‑
critical alarm occurs.
Non
‑
critical alarms are displayed in an orange Alarm window.
When an alarm occurs, the system displays information about the alarm and troubleshooting
instructions on the screen. Figure 4-1 shows an example of the Alarm window, which appears when an
alarm occurs. Table 4-1 describes the different sections of the Alarm window.
