You will be unable to process samples when the status bar is red. An example of a red system or station fatal event is an E-stop 2Yellow Status Bar: Operator attention is required Station or system event Track continues to operate Select Next to continue.  A yellow status bar indicates that operator attention is required. This status may affect instrument workflow. An example of a yellow system event is an empty reagent.3White Status Bar: Warning condition Track continues to operate Instrument can process samples When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue.A white status bar indicates that a warning condition exists. The station continues to process samples. An example of a white status bar event is reagent low. Light Tower Light color indicates system status. It consists of four color lights. Red Yellow White Green Light Tower Learn about the light tower. Base ImageHotspotsText BlocksImage File Green Light: The track is running Red Light: Fatal event Yellow Light: Operator attention required  White Light: Warning condition Nephelometry is also used with particulate-forming reactions. But instead of measuring light reduction, it measures the amount of light that is scattered by the particulates. In this case, the scattered light is measured at a different angle from the light source. Select the links below to learn about an example of a nephelometric test and the differences between nephelometry and turbidimetry.

Cytograms are two dimensional displays that appear on the Run screen during sample analysis.  The cells for each channel affected by gains are analyzed in the flowcell where light scatter and absorption detector signal are amplified to correctly place cells on the cytograms providing accurate morphology flagging and sample results. Barcode-related "No Read" events can be caused by: Missing barcode labels Damaged labels Unsupported symbology Misaligned labels or tubes Mechanical-related "No Read" events can be caused by: Gate problems Improperly maintained pucks Select Next to continue. The platelet gains are affected by the RBC gains and are adjusted at the same time since both RBC's and platelets are analyzed in the same flowcell at the same time. Samples without a workorder are routed the SIQ: Event messages are not posted in the SIQ window Further investigation is needed If there are several samples without a workorder routed to the SIQ, a downloading problem may exist.  To check communications: Check the ADVIA CentraLink® Data Management System Check the LIS   Samples without a Workorder Learn how to locate workorder information in SIQ.

ADVIA OPTIPoint is used in the RBC and reticulocyte channels. Setpoint calibrator is used in the peroxidase channel or the normal control if calibrator is not available.  Fresh whole blood is used to adjust the Baso gains. Samples with integrity issues will be routed to the SIQ. Causes of sample integrity issues: Insufficient sample Clot detected Select Next to continue. Although rare, errors may occur. If an error requires you to exit the gain procedure, be sure to follow the prompts when returning to the gain screen to be able to resume gains from the previous termination point.
