Loading Patient Samples On The Optional Universal Rack Handler - Siemens ADVIA 2400 Operator's Manual

d. Using barcode labels with a sample cup, insert the sample cup into a sample tube
You can use Ezee Nest cups in primary sample tubes.
CAUTION
Make sure that all sample containers (including tube-cup combinations) are defined
at the System Specification Settings window to avoid probe crashes.
6. Replace the sample tray if it was removed in step 3 and press down on the locking
pins to secure the tray.

must be at the back, and the arrow labels must be aligned next to each other to avoid
probe crashes.

Loading patient samples on the optional universal rack handler

Wear personal protective
equipment.
Use universal precautions.
IMPORTANT
Define container types for use on either the universal rack handler (LAS) or the onboard
sample tray (STT).
When you use the same sample rack on the rack handler and on an ADVIA Centaur
system, select allowable tube sizes from the table below. You must use the same tube size
for every tube in a rack.

Because the aspiration positions for the rack handler and the sample tray may be at
different heights, each container type must be defined separately in each sampling mode,
LAS, or STT. That is, if the same container is to be used on the rack handler and the
sample tray, it has to be defined as two different container types, one for LAS and one for
STT. The system defaults to container set #1 when a container is not specified with the
host workorder.

that has the correct label.
