During automatic analysis, if the system detects a SAMPLE LOSS for more than one hour, it will
switch to stand-by house-keeping. When the sample recovers, it will switch back to RUN mode
after waiting for 1 minute to allow for fresh sample to flush the sample chamber.
STAND-BY
: In stand-by the system will execute periodic house-keeping routines.
Every one hour, the fluids in reagent, standard and sample lines are moved back and forth.
Every 6 hours, the system primes all the reagents lines with 1 mL each and then flushes the
reaction cell with either 2.5 mL of standard or if sample is present, the system executes a clean
cycle.
Fluids consumption while unit is left in Stand-by:
4 mL of each reagent per day
10 mL of standard** per day (with no sample). If sample is present, the system will run four
clean cycles per day and will not consume any standard.
** Note that in stand-by mode, the standard is used only to flush the cell. Distilled water may be
substituted instead of phosphate standard, or a time to refill the standard bottle if unit is kept in
stand-by.
OPTIONAL MENU setting:
(Please consult factory before modifying default setup).
An additional sub-menu selection for the Stand-by cleaner solution is provided. To access,

CAUTION
Make sure reagents and standard bottles have enough fluids to
maintain wet lines when the analyzer is kept in stand-by.

SOURCE
SMP/STD:
(default) When selected, the system will use sample if present or
in case of sample loss will revert to standard for the periodic flushing of the
reaction cell.
SAMPLE:
The system will use sample only. In case of NO sample (sample
loss) or sensor not assigned the daily priming and flush of the cell is NOT
executed. The system will force a PRIME ALL sequence when analysis is
resumed.
STANDARD:
System uses only the standard for flushing the cell in stand-by.
