INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE – 3M™ Attest™
Auto-reader 390G Configuration
Note:
Ideally, the 3M™ Attest™ Auto-reader 390G should be empty (i.e., have no
incubating BIs) when it is reconfigured.
Press the
and
buttons on the front of the 3M™ Attest™ Auto-reader 390G
simultaneously for 3 seconds to enter configuration mode. Once in configuration mode,
use the Up
and
Down buttons to set the 3M™ Attest™ Auto-reader 390G
clock and audible alarm as desired. The
button acts as an “Enter” key and moves the
flashing cursor to the next changeable setting.
Setting the 3M™ Attest™ Auto-reader 390G Clock
The 3M™ Attest™ Auto-reader 390G date and time are displayed in this format:
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM, with the time displayed using a 24 hour clock. To change the year,
if necessary, push the up or down buttons to set desired year, then press
to advance
to the month, adjust as necessary and press
to advance to the day. Use the
button to move to the time and set the hours and minutes.
Setting the Audible Alarm Function
Move across the top row of text by pushing the
button. The flashing “B” in Buzzer
indicates this is a changeable setting. It is recommended this be set at “Buzzer Enabled”
to audibly alert the operator to a positive BI but it may be set to “Buzzer Disabled” by
using either the up or down button. Note: If Buzzer Disabled is selected, and the changes
accepted, the speaker icon ( ) will disappear from the LCD panel and the alarm will be
disabled for all positive 3M™ Attest™ Rapid Readout Biological Indicators, error codes,
and caution code alarm warnings. Note: The 3M™ Attest™ Auto-reader 390G display
backlight flashes whenever an audible alarm sounds. Disabling the audible alarm does
NOT disable the LCD display backlight flashing.
Press
to select the desired option and advance to the Accept screen.
Accept Screen
Use the up or down buttons to toggle between Yes and No, press
to accept changes
(Yes selected) or retain current settings (No selected) and exit the configuration mode. The
LCD panel will return to the standard display.
