Shandon Excelsior ES Operator Guide

How to Use This Guide

The Shandon Excelsior ES is intended for use in pathology

laboratories by operators familiar with tissue processing

techniques and laboratory equipment.

Before operating the instrument, you should read the section

Safety Information on page 8.

This Operator Guide is structured to let you start processing

quickly and safely with Excelsior ES.

Chapter 1

introducing Excelsior ES

gives you a tour of

the instrument, explaining general principles of processing

with Excelsior ES. You should now be ready to operate the

instrument in Daily Operations mode. You can learn later

about reagent management, programming and customising

Excelsior ES.

Chapter 2

Daily operations Mode

shows you how to run

defined processs programs, replace and rotate reagents. These

are with current settings.

Chapter 3

instrument Setup Menu

gives details of Excelsior

ES programming, reagent loading and customisation.

Chapter 4

Menu Mode

explains using Excelsior ES with all

options available.

Chapter 5

installing Excelsior ES

shows you how to install

the instrument on site, and correctly connect to an electrical

supply.

Chapter 6

Troubleshooting

explains alert symbols and gives

instructions to clear them, using the Fault Status screen. The

reference lists suggest solutions to common processing issues.
