Atellica® Decapper Hardware Overview Online Training

Welcome to the Atellica® Decapper Hardware Overview Online Training course. The Atellica® Solution consists of modules and analyzers that are configurable for individual laboratory testing needs including: Central workstation/computer Sample entry module Decapper module Analyzers (including chemistry and immunoassay technology) ​This course will introduce you to the hardware elements on the Decapper module. NOTE: Refer to the Operator's Guide for information on safety precautions that should be followed when operating the system. Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to: Identify hardware components and their function Describe the sample processing sequence Identify the types of sample containers that cannot be processed by the Atellica® Decapper Congratulations. You have completed the Atellica® Decapper Hardware Overview 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.  Identify the hardware components and their function Exterior Components Decapper cover - allows operator access to the tube gripper, cap remover, and cap waste chute. The cover interlock detects when the operator removes the cover and the module stops. After the operator replaces the cover, Decapper resumes normal operation Cap waste bin  Cap waste drawer Pressure valve - used to control the Decapper air pressure Main power switch - used to power off and on the analyzer Interior Components Cap remover - removes sample tube caps Cap waste chute - directs removed caps down to the cap waste bin Tube gripper - holds the sample tube during decapping Describe the sample processing sequence The steps of the sample processing sequence: As a sample carrier approaches the decapper, sample tubes that require decapping stop at the decapping position Sample tubes that do not require decapping bypass the decapper ​The tube gripper holds the sample tube in the decapping position The cap remover rotates to over the sample tube The cap remover lowers and grips the sample tube cap to remove the cap The cap remover lifts and rotates to over the cap waste chute The cap remover drops the cap down the cap waste chute into the cap waste bin The tube gripper releases the decapped tube for additional processing Identify the types of sample containers that cannot be processed by the Decapper The Atellica Decapper supports most types of sample containers, but there are some exceptions. The following types of sample containers are NOT supported by the Decapper: Glass tubes Caps with diameter bigger than 18mm Rubber stoppers Pediatric tubes Capillary collection containers Certain cap colors NOTE: Refer to the Atellica® Solution Online Help for a complete list of the supported sample containers.
