2.2.2 Patient Sample and Reagents Unit with Bar
Code Reader
(See figure 2-2: position 2)
CAUTION: Laser radiation - do not stare into beam!
The bar code scanner is located on the right side at the front of the patient sample
and reagent unit.
The patient sample and reagent unit, accessible via a flap, includes 12 tracks for
sample and reagent racks.
The following racks are supplied:
Each rack includes a contact pin; on racks occupying one track, this pin is located at
the top centre, and on the broader racks at the top right.
The software specifies which track is to be used for the respective rack. This is indi-
cated by a red LED. A reagent rack occupying 3 tracks must be inserted such that
the contact tappet is in contact with the lit up LED.
Each rack has to be inserted up to the limit stop. The respective LED on the rear pan-
el goes off

cubation mode.
