Checklist TitleChecklist TypeChecklist ContentOff-Peak Activity OverviewHTML The Off- Peak Activities screen provides the following information: the recently completed or processing tasks with time and date a list of the next scheduled tasks, including methods to be calibrated and hydrated To view upcoming tasks from the Home screen, press View Current Activities button, then the Off-Peak button. The times are recorded, when the Off-Peak tasks are started and finished, therefore you can determine how long they took to perform. Note: These activities are performed in the background by the system and do not interfere with normal processing (except for the Probe Test).  Select each checkbox to learn more about tasks performed during Off-Peak Activities on the Dimension Vista® System.  Run Probe TestHTML   If configured, the Probe Test is the first task to be performed during Off-Peak Activities.  During this test, the alignments, tubing integrity and air pressure for each probe are verified.  Results for each probe will display when the test is complete.  In addition, there are utilities such as drains, motors and electronics that are checked by the system and may generate a process error if something requires additional attention.   If successful, the system will automatically reset and continue processing. Tip:  If the Probe Test fails, the system will display a red alert of Probe Test Failed, the operator will need to investigate the error.   Routine IMT CleanHTML A Routine IMT clean is the second task performed during Off-Peak Activities.  This will help keep the V-LYTE® System running smoothly.    Discard Expired Aliquot PlatesHTML An aliquot plate is considered expired after all of the samples on the plate have expired.  The expired plates are removed from the clip and discarded by the waste mechanism of the aliquot processing module during Off-Peak Activities.   Backup DatabaseHTML A backup of the database is performed daily during the Off-Peak activities period.  This is an important preventative measure, ensuring a backup copy of data is always available and reducing the database size to ensure the Dimension Vista® System continues to run effectively.   Hydrate ReagentsHTML   Some reagents require hydration, mixing, or venting prior to their use on the Dimension Vista® System.  During this scheduled activity, the system will request a preparation of any reagent Flex® cartridge that will be used within the next 24 hours.  Note: The reagent Flex® cartridge must be on the storage ring for it to be hydrated or vented.  An important step to prepare for off-peak activities in your lab will be to ensure that an adequate supply of reagents has been loaded on the system 60 minutes prior to the start of these activities.  Order CalibrationsHTML When methods are about to expire, the system will automatically calibrate if configured.  Note: An important step to prepare for Off-Peak Activities in your lab will be to ensure an adequate supply of calibrator and QC product has been loaded on the system.   Zip Millipore Data FilesHTML Another task performed during off-peak activities is to zip Millipore data files. When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue.     Off-Peak Activity configuration options:   Off-Peak Activities Start Hour Off-Peak Activities Stop Hour Automatically Run Probe Test If the Probe Test is configured to run during Off-Peak Activities, is there a way to verify the system has begun testing?  Note: This information is shared on both sides of a Dimension Vista®1000T/3000T System.  Use the instrument tab name to designate left or right instrument.

Congratulations.  You have learned about Off-Peak Activities on the Dimension Vista® System.  After you have reviewed the content on this page, you may proceed to the assessment portion of the course.  In this course, we have discussed: Tasks performed by the Dimension Vista® System during Off-Peak Activities in the following order:   Runs Probe Test (if configured) – The system will check the alignments, tubing integrity and air pressure for each probe.  Results will display for each test when completed.  There are some additional background checks that are performed that will generate a process error if they do not pass. Routine IMT Clean – This cleaning will help keep the V-LYTE® System running smoothly. Discard expired aliquot plates – After all of the samples on an aliquot plate have expired, the aliquot plate is considered expired.  The expired aliquot plates are discarded by the waste mechanism during Off-Peak Activities. Backup Database - The backup database helps maintain the database size and ensures there is always an available backup copy of the database if needed. Hydrates Reagent  – Reagents may require hydration, mixing, or venting before they can be used for processing.  During Off-Peak Activities, the system will request the preparation of any reagent Flex® that is predicted for use within the next 24 hour time period. Orders Calibration – When methods are configured to have the system automatically calibrate before the calibration expires, these calibrations will be performed during Off-Peak Activities. Zip Millipore Data Files The system initiates these activities during the time scheduled in your lab.  It will initiate these tasks and search for a time when the instrument is idle for each task.  If the system is in diagnostics or shutdown, it cannot perform these tasks.    The Off-Peak Activities screen provides the following information: The Recent completed or processing tasks with time and date. List of the Next scheduled tasks, including methods to be calibrated and hydrated. To view upcoming tasks, navigate from the Home screen, press the View Current Activities button, then select the Off-Peak button.  The times are recorded when the Off-Peak tasks are started and finished, therefore you can determine how long they tool to perform.  Note:  These activities are performed in the background by the system and do not interfere with normal processing (except for the Probe Test).  Configure Off-Peak Activities on the Dimension Vista® System: Choose a time when your lab does not experience its heavy workload for the system to perform Off-Peak Activity tasks. Determine if you would like the Probe Test to automatically run during Off-Peak Activities. Navigate to Advanced > Configuration > System Configuration > Modify System Configuration to customize these features for your laboratory.  List key steps to prepare for Off-Peak Activities Off-Peak Activities Preparation: Begin to prepare your system 60 minutes prior to the Start Hour for Off-Peak Activities by performing the following tasks:  Check Reagent Needs Check Calibrator Needs Check QC Needs Begin to process samples on an alternate instrument 15 minutes prior to the Start Hour for Off-Peak Activities Differentiate between system alerts to ensure effective reagent management in your lab    Symbol   Need Description   A red needs alert indicates there is an immediate need, and reagent, QC or calibrator is required to run an ordered test.  This notification will include the reagent required and the desired lot.  A red alert requires immediate action by the operator for processing to continue.     A yellow needs alert indicates there is no immediate need, but some reagent, QC or calibrator is needed to complete the tests for the next 24 hours, with no immediate test request.     A gray square there is some indicates there is some reagent, QC, or calibrator onboard but not enough to complete the tasks scheduled for the next 24 hours.   Note: Replenish any product that appears on the Needs screen with a grey square to optimize reagent management onboard the Dimension Vista® System.
