AUTION MAX AX-4030 OPERATING MANUAL

Prepare controls.

IMPORTANT: Read through the package inserts

before using the controls.

Transfer at least 2 mL of control into a sample tube.

Ensure the liquid level is at least 40 mm above the

bottom of the tube.

IMPORTANT: An insufficient amount of controls

may produce incorrect results.

REFERENCE: To have the built-in barcode reader

read barcodes successfully, label the tubes as

shown in the figure.

Load the controls into the STAT and control rack

Insert the sample tubes into ports 8, 9, and 10 (with

dark blue adapters) in that order.

Port 8: Low density control

Port 9: Middle density control

Port 10: High density control

REFERENCE: Do not place the controls in ports

to 7 with the orange adapters, as they are

dedicated to rack STAT measurement.

REFERENCE: To have the built-in barcode reader

read barcodes successfully, labels on the tubes

must be facing to the rear side of the sample rack.

Min. 2 mL of control

Min. 40 mm
