The User Interface area that contains buttons for Routine, Reagents, and Calibration
Show us how to order a calibration (2 ways)
Pre-Routine
Selecting manually Calibration > Order > Select
What is Masking?
The function used to exclude specific items, such as system components, tests, or reagent packs, from analysis
What function is used to exclude specific items, such as system components, tests, or reagent packs, from analysis?
Masking
What color racks are typically used for loading routine patient samples?
Gray racks
What is purple?
The color displayed by the Pre-Routine button when loading new reagent is recommended because at least one reagent is below the set daily requirement and the Preventive Action checkbox is selected
What are black racks?
The specific type of rack required for loading calibrators
What is 600 μL?
The minimum required volume, in μL, of ISE Cleaning Solution/SysClean and Activator needed in standard cups in positions 2 and 3 for the daily wash rac
What color does the Alarms button flash when a system alarm is issued?
Red or Yellow
What processing status icon indicates that a sample's results are available and that no data alarm occurred?
Complete
What maintenance task are performed daily and what modules are daily maintenance required on?
ISE Wash Rack & Cleaning of Probes on e801
What is Reagent Pack Calibration?
This specific type of calibration relates to the age of the reagent and applies when the reagent pack has been registered for more than 24 hours
What is Reagent Pack Patient Masking?
The manual masking option that makes a reagent pack temporarily unavailable for patient samples but still allows calibration and QC measurements to be performed
What Red system alarm severity stops an analytical unit from sampling for new measurements but allows pipetted samples to continue processing?
S.Stop (Sampling Stop)
You get a call from a Clinician who would like to find out what time will results be available, where can you find that information?
Demonstrate where expected time will be located for the sample.
What is Overview?
The Task Area button used to display unit status and temperatures, or to enable/disable connections to a host, cobas® link, or a lab automation system
What is AutoCal?
The calibration method for the cobas® c 503 analytical unit where the calibration curve is generated without a new calibration measurement when a reagent with a new lot is loaded
What is Self-Operating Maintenance (SOM)?
The type of maintenance that is performed automatically by the system without any operator interaction and is scheduled according to time intervals or measuring count
What color background is displayed on the Reagents > Overview screen for a reagent pack that has been masked?
Gray
In some instances, a sample may be ran 3X times on the system, the system only displays 2 results, where can I view the 3rd result?
Demonstrate
Results> Select ID > Test Review >All Results
What is E.Stop (Emergency Stop)?
This red alarm severity stops the system immediately, causes pipetting and measurements to cease, and discards incomplete results of ongoing measurements
If my QC fails on a reagent that has 2 packs on board (current/SB1) where can I find which reagent has failed, and where can I reorder the QC for the Standby reagent?
Demonstrate
Test Review
Standby QC
Show us how to properly shutdown the instrument for weekly shutdowns, and how do we turn the instrument back on?
Demonstrate
In SW select the power button icon and select shutdown.
Select the physical power button on the system
What system resource contains utility films to assist operators in performing maintenance actions and troubleshooting procedures?
cobas® user assistance
What icon indicates a sample has been diluted, how can I view in software and how can I print these results?
A blue downward triangle!
