Page 7 (2 of 4) SIEMENS Routine Operations Healthineers Approved sample tube types when attached to LAS 1. BN II System/LAS • 13 x 75 mm • 13 x 100 mm • 16 x 75 mm • 16 x 100 mm 2. BN II System manual load • Refer to the BN II System Instruction Manual Note: 1. Pediatric samples cannot be processed by the LAS. Manually position pediatric samples, controls and standards in lanes 6 to 9. 2. Refer to the Aptio Automation Operations Manual for a complete listing of approved and unapproved sample tube types. 8 Routine Operations © Siemens AG 2013. All rights reserved. Page 8 (3 of 4) SIEMENS Routine Operations Healthineers Limitations As the BN II System is not capable of detecting low serum volume in a primary sample tube, false patient results can happen if the probe of the analyzer aspirates packed cells. Ensure that there is always sufficient serum volume available in the sample tube. To minimize the hazard, one of the following options may help you: 1. Provide sample/aliquot in a secondary tube. 2. Let Siemens personnel configure a maximum immersion depth for the probe for each defined rack. 3. Use a sample detection module with the laboratory automation system. 9 Routine Operations © Siemens AG 2013. All rights reserved. Page 9 (3 of 4) SIEMENS Routine Operations Healthineers Sample Tube Processing 1. The LAS sample transfer module is designed to transfer sample tubes from the LAS to the BN II system. 2. Sample tubes are diverted to the BN II load/unload gate and the barcode is read. 3. The robot picks up each sample tube at the load/unload gate and moves it to a BN II rack positioned in the input lane in the LAS sample transfer module. 4. When the rack is considered full (up to 10 sample tubes) or a configurable timeframe has expired, the rack is routed to the exchange platform. 5. The slide device, fixed on exchange platform, takes the rack from the input lane and places it in either lanes 14 or 15 on the analyzer. 6. When all dilutions of samples in a rack have been performed, the slide device retrieves the rack, places it on the exchange platform and then onto the return lane. 7. The samples are then analyzed on the BN II system. 8. The rack pusher device moves the rack to the load/unload position. 9. The robot picks up the sample tubes and places them in an empty carrier at the load/unload gate on the LAS. 10. After the barcode is read, the sample tube is released and routed to the LAS main track. 10 Routine Operations © Siemens AG 2013. All rights reserved. Page 10 (4 of 4) SIEMENS Routine Operations Healthineers Preparing sample barcodes When letters must be used in barcodes, use all upper case OR all lower case for all barcodes. Caution: BN II System is not able to differentiate between lower case letters and upper case letters in sample barcodes. Results can be incorrectly assigned to sample barcodes and results can be delayed. 11 Routine Operations © Siemens AG 2013. All rights reserved. Page 11 (1 of 3) Troubleshooting SIEMENS Healthineers Handling samples with non-readable barcodes 1. Samples with non-readable barcodes in lanes 6 to 9 are handled following BN II System Instruction Manual. 2. Samples with non-readable barcodes located in lanes 14 and/or 15 are not processed by the BN II System, and are sent to the barcode reader of the LAS sample transfer module. • If re-identification fails, the sample is moved to a priority output lane • Once a sample is moved to a priority output lane, investigate the error and follow the step by step recovery procedure provided by the LAS software 12 Troubleshooting © Siemens AG 2013. All rights reserved. Page 12 Troubleshooting SIEMENS Healthineers Stopping BN II System when connected to LAS 1. Only in emergencies, open the right cover to stop the analyzer’s operation immediately. 2. Refer to the BN II System Instruction Manual for instructions to resume operation. 1 13 Troubleshooting © Siemens AG 2013. All rights reserved. Page 13 © 2017 Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc.
