If the system Quality Control is configured to lock the
instrument when:
–
The instrument has not been tested with Clinitrol™

Press
Yes
to override the instrument lock and log in
to a Supervisor-level account.
–
Press
No
to cancel the test until the instrument

to cancel the test. You can then either:
• Replace samples on the turntable and run
another automated test.
• Press
to clear all selected positions on
the turntable display.

NOTE:
The instrument cleans the fluid lines
automatically during the test sequence. However,
it is recommended to run a cleaning cycle if the
instrument has sat idle for a week or more or if
poor precision is observed. In the unlikely event
that the instrument system fluid runs dry, refer to
