ADVIA Centaur® CP Immunoassay System Scheduled Maintenance Online Training

Scheduled maintenance includes performing weekly, monthly, and as needed maintenance procedures to ensure the ADVIA Centaur CP will run efficiently. This clinical laboratory training qualifies for continuing education units (CEU).

A change in lifestyle is both the most important and the most difficult factor in the treatment of CAD. Drug therapy normally consists of several drugs intended to relieve symptoms and, above all, prevent progression of the disease, thereby improving the prognosis.  The typical drugs used in CAD therapy are shown in the table on the left.  Other drugs may also be considered. Patient-specific selection of medication naturally has to take into account possible interactions and contraindications.   Welcome to the ADVIA Centaur® CP Scheduled Maintenance Online Training course. Performing Weekly, Monthly and As Needed Maintenance Procedures will allow you to: Keep the instrument running optimally Reduce downtime in your lab Select Next to continue.

Congratulations. You have completed the ADVIA Centaur® CP Scheduled Maintenance Online Training Course. Listed below are the key points that have been presented. Take time to review the material as needed before proceeding to the final quiz. Identify the Weekly Maintenance Procedures  Weekly procedures performed while the Analyzer is On: Automated Weekly Cleaning Procedure The Automated Weekly Maintenance procedure for the ADVIA Centaur CP system involves a thorough cleaning of the DI water container, and running cleaning solution through the water line into the system. This procedure has both operator and system tasks.    Weekly procedures performed while the Analyzer is OFF: Cleaning the Incubation Ring: When probe is washed the incubation ring cover can get dirty.  We clean the incubation ring cover so to Remove residual reagent around  the dispense port. Cleaning the Reagent Probe:  At times the exterior of the reagent probe will need to be cleaned to remove any residual that may build up from reagent being added to samples. Cleaning the Waste Probe:  The waste probe builds up remaining waste as it aspirates from the cuvette after measurements are taken.  To prevent movement errors the waste probe should be cleaned.  Cleaning the Probe Rails: Cleaning the Probe Rails will help to remove any dust or debris that can set on the Probe rails and cause movement errors. Identify the Monthly Maintenance Procedures Automated Monthly Maintenance Procedure: The water and Wash 1 lines can become contaminated from either low volume usage or failure to perform  weekly or monthly procedures properly.   The  Centaur CP uses an automated monthly cleaning procedure  to prevent bacterial contamination in the water and Wash 1  lines.  Cleaning the Wash 1 Container (every 2 months): In the Wash 1 container, bacteria can grow from either low usage or from pooling of the Wash 1 fluid.  The Wash 1 container must be cleaned on a bi-monthly basis to prevent bacterial contamination.

Because of the test result the doctor was able to provide a less expensive antibiotic. Fortunately, no MRSA pathogens were involved. The infection subsided about a week later and we were all able to breathe a sigh of relief. Our Anne is her old self again.   Automated Weekly Cleaning Thorough cleaning of the DI water container, Running cleaning solution through the water line into the system.  Supplies Needed: Cleaning Solution-DI Water (Reagent Grade Water) NOTE: This procedure has both operator and system tasks. The automated daily maintenance procedure does not need to be performed on days when the automated weekly cleaning procedure is performed. The yellow overdue indicator next to automated daily cleaning will be removed and the due date pushed back 24 hours after the automated weekly maintenance procedure is complete.   Automated Weekly Cleaning Learn about how the automated weekly cleaning process works.
