Congratulations.  You have completed the ADVIA Centaur CP Basic Troubleshooting Online Training course.  Listed below are the key points that have been presented.  Take time to review the material before you proceed to the final quiz. How to access information in the event log To do this, select the event log button from the workspace. A list of system events and errors is listed. To investigate a specific error, highlight the message and press details. Describe how to troubleshoot specific system errors Reagent probe errors that could be caused by air in the water line or a reagent pack seated incorrectly. Solving cuvette loading errors by removing the cuvette loader from the system. Luminometer errors can include signal errors or high voltage due to high count rate.  These luminometer issues can be fixed by checking the acid and base or by performing dark counts in diagnostics. When investigating Wash Station errors, observe the Wash 1 container, aspirate probe bubble detectors and gray peripump tubing. Sample probe errors can be addressed by emptying the solid waste container or repositioning sample tip trays. Select Next to continue. Bei der Quantifizierung der Volumendaten ist darauf zu achten, die komplette Konvergenz des Farbvolumenflusses bei hohen Volumenraten innerhalb eines Herzschlages zu akquirieren. Dies ist ohne Stitching, Gating oder Wartezeiten möglich. Auch Patienten mit Vorhofflimmern oder sonsitgen EKG-Unregelmäßigkeiten können untersucht werden. In wenigen Sekunden kann der Benutzer die Daten zu erfassen und durch einen Rechts-Klick die Volumenquantifizierung der PISA und eine volle Analyse der EROA starten. Neuere Forschungsergebnisse bestätigen die Genauigkeit der Volumen-PISA-Berechnung als äquivalent mit der MRT. Darüberhinaus hat sie das Potential, nicht nur die EROA-Berechnung zu verbessern, sondern eben die Rückflussvolumen und Rückflussraktionen. Das ACUSON SC2000 verbessert die Quantifizierung der Farbdopplermessungen, vor allem durch die eSie PISA Volume Analysis. PISA sichert die Kontinuität. Der proximale Fluss ist gleich dem distalen Fluss. Im Falle von Mitralklappenrückflusserhalten wir die Surface Area und die Geschwindigkeit aus den Farbdopplerinformationen im proximalen Fluss. In 2D PISA Quantifizierung erhält man die Farbdoppler-Oberfläche auf der Basis einer einfachen Radiusmessung, unter der Annahme, dass die Strömungskonvergenz einer perfekte Kugel entspricht. In Wirklichkeit ist es selten, dass die Form des Strömungskonvergenz die Form einer perfekten Kugel hat. Flusskonvergenz spiegelt die Morphologie der effektiven Größe und Form der EROA wider. Untersuchungen zeigen, dass nur in etwa 33 % aller Fälle die Flusskonvergenz kugelförmig ist. Wählen Sie auf den Link unten, um mehr über eSie PISA ™ Volumenanalyse zu erfahren.

In einer internen Studie wurde die integriertem Workflow-Protokolle und eSie Measurement Funktionen des ACUSON SC2000 mit denen eines Wettbewerbers mit manuellen Protokollen und manuellen Messungen verglichen. Das Ziel der Studie war es, die Anzahl der Klicks und den benötigte Arbeitsbereich bei exakt gleichen Anforderungen zu vergleichen. Die Anwender waren gleichermaßen mit beiden Systemen vertraut. Die Gesamtanzahl der Tastenanschläge mit dem ACUSON SC2000 war deutlich geringer. Die gleiche Untersuchung mit einem Mitbewerber-System erforderte 368 Klicks - verglichen mit 241 erforderlichen Klicks mit dem ACUSON SC2000. Die Studie untersuchte auch die Größe des Arbeitsbereiches bei beiden Systemen. Der benötigte Arbeitsbereich zur Durchführung eines Echokardiogramms war signifikant kleiner SC2000 Systems, wie hier durch die farbcodierten Bereiche angezeigt. Die rote Zone zeigt den erweiterten Arbeitsbereich des Mitbewerbersystems. Diese Studie macht die Vorteile in der Bedienung zwischen dem ACUSON SC2000 mit seinen integrierten Workflow-Protokollen und der eSie Measure Funkionalität zum Wettbewerb deutlich.

Common reagent probe errors: Volume Check Errors TAG Calibration Failure Reagent Probe Move Errors Tag Calibration Failure Learn about TAG calibration failure errors. Slide NumberText BlocksCalloutsAudio ScriptImage File1Possible causes of the Volume Check Error are bubbles in the water, or no water in the reagent probe line.   Select Next to continue.  Note: If audio does not automatically start, select the play arrow in the top left to begin.A common reagent probe error is the volume check error. Volume Check Errors include several different kinds of errors.2The following message typically precedes the TAG error: “the reagent probe fluid sensor failed during the reference check”.  The occurrence of this error indicates that the reagent probe detected an issue before it actually aspirated any reagent.  Attention should be focused on the water entering the reagent probe.    Select Next to continue. The message that typically precedes the TAG error is “the reagent probe fluid sensor failed during the reference check.” The occurrence of this error indicates that the reagent probe detected an issue before it actually aspirated any reagent and therefore, attention should be focused on the water entering the reagent probe. Let’s take a look at how to correct this.3To begin to correct the TAG Calibration failure, confirm that the tubing is securely connected to the DI Water container.  Select Next to continue.  First, confirm that the tubing is securely connected to the DI Water container. 4Make sure the Liquid Waste or Wash 1 container is not sitting on top of the DI water line and that there is no other obstruction blocking water flow.   Select Next to continue. Additionally, make sure that the Liquid Waste or Wash 1 container is not sitting on top of the DI water line and that there is no other obstruction blocking water flow. 5Perform a reagent probe prime in Diagnostics.  Open Diagnostics and select Prime Tab.  Select reagent probe, enter 3 in the replicates field and press Prime.  After the prime, resume operation.  Select Next to continue. Perform a reagent probe prime in Diagnostics. To complete this task, open Diagnostics and select the Prime tab. Select reagent probe, enter 3 in the replicates field and press Prime. After the prime, resume operation.6If the error persists:  Turn the instrument off and inspect the tubing coming from the top of the reagent probe.  If bubbles are observed in the tubing, perform another prime in Diagnostics in 5 replicates.  Note:  This procedure will take approximately 2 minutes and should purge the line of any bubbles. After this procedure is complete: Check the reagent probe tubing again.  If bubbles persist, perform the prime in diagnostics 2 or 3 more times.  Note:  If the instrument sits idle for long periods of time (more than 24 hours), it’s beneficial to perform the prime in diagnostics before starting a run as a preventive measure.   When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue. If the error persists after performing the steps mentioned, turn the instrument off and inspect the tubing coming from the top of the reagent probe. If bubbles are observed in the tubing, perform another prime in Diagnostics in 5 replicates. This procedure will take approximately 2 minutes and should purge the line of any bubbles. After this procedure is complete, check the reagent probe tubing again. If bubbles persist, perform the prime in diagnostics 2 or 3 more times. If the instrument sits idle for long periods of time (more than 24 hours), it’s beneficial to perform the prime in diagnostics before starting a run as a preventive measure. Performing this task removes any air that might have accumulated in the reagent probe tubing. Volume Check Failures Learn about Volume Check failures.
