Error displayed when inserting the
USB flash drive into a Windows
PC
Ignore the message. In most cases, no scan is needed;
use the USB flash drive as usual. Do not reformat the
USB on the Windows PC. This will lead to complete data
loss on the USB flash drive, and it can no longer be used
with the QIAcube Connect MDx.
7.3.1
Protocol interruption
If an error occurs during a protocol run, it is possible to continue sample preparation manually.
Important
: It is not recommended for QIAGEN DSP/IVD protocols to finish the run manually, the
run will be invalid and the sample result from the manual continuation of the protocol must not be
used for diagnostic purposes. It is under your responsibility to continue sample processing manually,
as this invalidates the whole procedure.
To continue sample processing:
1.
Note the step at which the protocol stopped. This is displayed in the touchscreen under
Run
Details
.
2.
Remove the samples and reagents from the QIAcube Connect MDx.
3.
Refer to the appropriate protocol in the relevant kit handbook and continue sample processing
manually.
