Describe how to load and unload sample racks in the I/O Module When loading samples: Load samples into rack avoiding empty spaces Tubes should be straight and not tilted Identify an appropriate input lane and load the rack The IOM Robot begins loading samples into carriers on the track To remove samples: Review rack contents by selecting the IOM lane icon Unlock the rack by pushing the corresponding lane button on the LED bar Grasp the handle and pull the rack towards the operator Pull the rack completely out from the lane using two hands Describe the sample processing sequence Sample tube is loaded on to the track into a carrier. Barcode is read Routing is determined by the IOM input lane and work order If required, the sample tube is sent to the Centrifuge and /or Decapper modules Sample tube is sent to appropriate analyzers for testing After all processing is complete, the tube may be sealed or sent to a sorted output lane for further testing Sealed samples are sent to the Refrigerated Storage Module, IOM or other designated output module Describe how to perform a sample search Rapid Search bar - enter SID, PID or Name to perform a Quick search. Select SID to view Patient Details screen. Extended search feature - Select Routine>Search. Enter filter criteria. Select Search to view Patient Details screen or Snapshot to view a list of patients that met the search criteria List the steps to unload a sample tube Select Routine > Search Enter the SID. Select Search In the Patient Details screen, select Command Select Delivery Sample tube is delivered to a Priority Output lane or Sorted Output lane in the IOM Remove the rack and unload the sample tube To complete processing, reintroduce the sample to the appropriate IOM lane     When loading sample racks in the Input/Output Module: Load the sample tubes into racks leaving no spaces Place the rack in the appropriate lane IOM Robot begins loading sample tubes onto the track When unloading sample racks in the Input/Output Module: Review rack contents by selecting the IOM lane icon Push the corresponding lane button on the LED bar Grasp the rack handle, pull the rack completely out from the lane Use two hands to remove the rack completely from the IOM worktable Note: Never reach under the LED bar to load or unload sample tubes. Remove the racks from the IOM before loading or unloading tubes. Loading Samples Learn about loading and unloading sample racks in the IOM. Checklist TitleChecklist TypeChecklist Content48 Tube RackHTML   48 tube rack has 4 columns, each with 12 sample tube positions. Load 48 tube racks in IOM lanes 1 - 15 Columns A, B, C, D Rows 1 - 12 Handle 12 Tube RackHTML   12 tube sample rack has 1 column with 12 sample tube positions. Load 12 tube racks in IOM lanes 16-20 Column A, Rows 1-12 Handle Load for Efficient Robot AccessHTML Insert sample tube into a rack position, ensuring it is seated against the bottom of the rack and not tilted Place the first tube in Column A, Row 1. Continue to fill the column leaving no empty positions Once Column A is filled in the 48 tube rack, continue with Column B starting from Row 1 Fill each column (A,B,C,D) before inserting a tube in the next column Do not skip positions in the column as this will result in unprocessed samples   Demonstration - Loading Samples into RackHTML                        Identify Lane and Load RackHTML   Before loading samples, assure there are adequate unload racks in the IOM Identify the appropriate input lane based on the priority, cap, and spin status   Routine samples loaded in Priority Input lanes are upgraded to STAT status     .

Snapshot summary list or patient details can be displayed   Rapid Search Practice performing a rapid search.

Slide NumberText BlocksCalloutsAudio ScriptImage File1Unload Sample Tubes in Process Do not remove tubes manually from the system Use the Delivery command If the sample tube is processing when the request is made, it will complete that process before delivery   If a sample tube needs to be unloaded for processing away from the system, do not remove it manually as this will cause an error. Use the "Delivery" command in the system software. If the sample tube is processing at a module or analyzer when the request is made, the process will be completed before the sample is delivered to the IOM.2Perform a Sample Search In the system software, select Routine > Search  The first step is to search for the sample to be unloaded. In the system software, select "Routine", then "Search". 3Enter the Sample ID Enter Sample ID or other search criteria Select Search button  The search screen opens. While there are many filter options available, in this example we will search by the sample ID. Enter the sample ID in the appropriate field. Select the "Search" button at the bottom of the screen. 4Use the Delivery command In Patient Details screen, select all tests for the relevant sample ID Select Command button Select Delivery The Patient Details screen is displayed. Select all tests for the relevant sample ID. Select the "Command" button at the bottom of the screen. Select "Delivery".5Sample Tube is Delivered to the IOM Tube is marked SCOO1 - User Sample Delivery Request Tube is routed to IOM and placed in Priority or Sorted Output lane Unload the rack and remove the tube To resume processing the sample, load the tube in an appropriate input lane   The sample tube is marked with the message "SC001, User Sample Delivery Request", routed to the IOM and placed in the Priority Output lane. If configured, the sample tube may be placed in a Sorted Output lane. Unload the rack and remove the sample tube. The sample tube may be returned to the system at a later time to resume processing. Reintroduce the sample to the system by loading it in an appropriate input lane of the IOM.
