CHAPTER 4
Test Procedures
4.1
Overview
This section provides step-by-step instructions about how to perform and evaluate the
various OQ/PQ tests. All tests, which must be performed and the order in which they must
be performed are presented in TABLE 3-6. Tests which are not applicable for the current
system configuration will be skipped (e.g. if the Switchos is missing in the current
configuration, the tests
4.11 - 4.13 will not be performed).
The tests procedures 4.6 to 4.10 are using the same system setup as described in Section
3.2.2 A.
Testing of the UltiMate system and the FAMOS Microautosampler starts with a (manual)
lamp check, followed by the automated wavelength check. After these tests are passed
the condition of the flow cell and the fluid path are checked (again manually). From this
point on the UltiMate and FAMOS the tests procedures 4.6 to 4.10 are automated. These
automated tests are performed with the same system setup (Section 3.2.2 A).
Once all UltiMate system and FAMOS tests are performed, the Switchos unit will be tested
(if included in the configuration).
