Degraded Mode
When one of the following sensors has a malfunction
the local hotline can disable it to finalize the ongoing
measurement protocol. The sensors listed are installed
to warrant safe routine use. As the sensor malfunctions
do not affect the patient result they can be disabled. In
these exceptional cases the user has to follow the
precautions described below. This allows use of the
instrument until service engineer intervention.
After the local hotline has disabled a sensor, the
window “Securities disabled” appears on the inter-
face.
When you click on the window, detail of sensors
dis abled is shown.
Specific conditions to use the instrument
Caution
The user must be careful when using the instrument
because the securities are off and some specific
conditions are mandatory. The user must follow the
advice given.
Fluidic Hood: The tip and the carousel may move
while the fluidic hood is open. The user must be vigilant
at each requested action on the interface (starting a
pipett ing sequence, a carrousel scan, maintenances,
etc ...).
Lower Barcode Reader: Sample tubes and reagent
kits must be identified by manual entry. Refer to
„Important User informations“ for precautions.
Upper Barcode Reader: Sample cassettes are not
detected. Their positions are imposed on the carrou sel
in positions 4 and 5. The dilution plates and
SOLU TIONS 1-4 must be identified manually. Refer to
the “Important User Information“ for precautions.
Con sumables status (liquid level, dilution wells avail -
able,...) will be managed as usual.
Plexi Door: The Plexi door is the clear flap which is
lowered when loading a new reaction plate. The soft-
ware no longer identifies if it is open or closed. Check
that the plexi door is closed before loading the reaction
plate to prevent damage to the reaction plate carriage.
Reader Front Door: This door is used to load the
reaction plate and the software no longer identifies if it
is open or closed. Check that the door is closed after
loading the reaction plate to avoid allowing light into
the reaction area and maintaining temperature control
of the incubator.
Silica Window: This is the Reader Head Window and
the heating is disabled. There are no special precau -
tions to be applied in addition to daily maintenance.
Clot Detection: The clot detection for samples is
dis abled, check samples before placing them on the
carousel.
Waste Status: The liquid level in the Waste bottle is
no longer managed as well as in the waste collector
placed below the washbowl. The status of the waste
is in green colour on the screen. Check waste level
before starting a pipetting sequence. Check that no
liquid comes out underneath the instrument.
IRDA Communication: IRDA is used to inform the
system about temperature of the reagent cassettes.
The temperature is still controlled accurately but it is
not reported to the system which leads to display of
the alarm “System Warning: reagent cooler out of
range” on all test results. The temperature status of
the reagent cassette appears in red on the screen.
When IRDA communication is OFF, the position of
the reagent cassette is imposed at location 1 of the
carousel. The identification of the reagent cassette is
R1. Reagent kits are always detected through the
lower bar code reader.
