Attach the syringe or capillary tube to the sample port. 3Select Sample Type Select the button corresponding to the sample type A checkmark indicates the sample type selected View the text that corresponds to the number in the image.CalloutsArterial Capillary Venous Mixed venous Pleural fluidSelect the appropriate sample type icon on the screen. A check mark indicates the sample type selected. 4Select Parameters and Panels Parameters with check marks are selected A parameter with one or two lines through it is not available Select configured panels to run Deselect any parameter or panel not needed View the text that corresponds to the number in the image.CalloutsParametersPanelsParameters display to the right of the sample type buttons. Parameters selected for analysis display a check mark. A parameter with one or two lines through it is not available for analysis, for example, if calibration failed. Configured panels are located on the lower left of the screen and these may also be selected. The operator may deselect a parameter or panel, if needed.5Scan Patient ID  Integrated barcode scanner (pictured) External barcode scanner  Scan the patient ID bar code, if necessary, using the integrated bar code scanner on the front of the system. You may also use the external bar code scanner, if present. After entering the patient ID, the patient name, date of birth, and sex are entered automatically if they already exist on the system. 6Select the Start ButtonSelect the start button to begin the analysis. 7System Busy Message If a message informs you that the system is busy, select the STAT button If a STAT button is not present, you must wait for the system to be ready  A system busy message may display after selecting the start button. One example is when the system is performing a calibration. You may run the sample by selecting the Stat button on the screen. If, however, there is no stat button present, you must wait until the system is no longer busy and ready for analysis. 8Enter the Patient Demographics Data  Use the up and down arrows to view other screens in which to enter demographic data ​Select the white Continue arrow when completed You may enter the demographic data once the sample is analyzing. Use the up and down arrows to access all the demographics screens. Select the white continue arrow when completed. 9Remove Sample Device When the message "Remove syringe" or "Remove capillary" appears on the screen, remove the sample device Select the white Continue arrow When sampling is completed, the system prompts the operator to remove the syringe or capillary tube. If you have remaining sample, you have the option to debubble and recap the sample to retain for repeat analysis. Select the white continue arrow when completed.10Review Results Results are displayed in yellow when the analysis is in progress ​Results are displayed in black when the analysis is completed  Select the white Continue arrow when your review is completed   The results display on the screen in yellow when analysis is still in progress. When the analysis is complete, the results display in black. After reviewing the final results, select the white Continue arrow. The system automatically prints a report if the Auto Print option is turned on in Setup. Messages are displayed in: Banner - cartridge status System screen - current unresolved events Recall screen - current and historical events           System Messages Learn about system messages. Slide NumberText BlocksCalloutsAudio ScriptImage File1Messages in Banner  Measurement and Wash/Waste Cartridge - 30 or fewer remain ​Automatic QC Cartridge - 10 or fewer remain  ​Less than 24 hours remain before the cartridge expires    View the text that corresponds to the number in the image.CalloutsMeasurement cartridge status messageMeasurement and Wash/Waste Cartridge symbols display at the top of the screen when 30 or fewer samples can be analyzed. The ​Automatic QC Cartridge symbol displays when 10 or fewer samples remain for the QC material. ​All cartridges display their status when less than 24 hours remain before they expire.2System Message Pop Up ​Describes the system condition in detail May provide further instructions Select the Continue button to proceed   System messages pop up when an event occurs and may include instructions for the operator. In this case, the system did not detect a sample when analyzing and suggests replacing the sample port. Before replacing the port, the operator should first determine whether or not the sample device was inserted into the port before the start button was selected. If the sample device was inserted, then the operator should follow the instructions and replace the sample port. If, however, the sample device was not inserted in the port at the time of analysis, there is no need to replace it. Repeat the sample analysis instead.3Additional Instructions Follow Instructions on the screen Play the video, if present Select the white Continue arrow when completed Continuing with the "sample not detected" message, the next screen contains instructions on how to change the sample port. A video of the procedure is provided and may be viewed by the operator before performing. After replacing the sample port, select the white Continue arrow to resume operations. 4Current Unresolved System Messages  Access by selecting the System button Events log displays the Diagnostic code and description View the text that corresponds to the number in the image.CalloutsSystem buttonDiagnostic codeTo view current, unresolved system messages select the System button. The Events log displays a list of diagnostic codes and descriptions for the current system condition. In this example, the system message that the sample was not detected has the diagnostic code D39 which indicates that an obstruction may have been present when analyzing. 5Historical System Messages Access the Recall screen Select Events Log. The system displays a historical list of system messages Use the up and down arrows to view additional messages   To view a list of historical and current system messages, access the Recall screen, then select the Events log. This list contains the messages for up to 250 system events. Use the up and down arrows to view additional messages.6Online Reference Guide Select the Help (question mark) button  Troubleshooting describes system messages and codes ​Videos demonstrate how to perform routine tasks and analyze different sample types Both the system Help and the Operator's Guide can provide further information regarding system messages. By selecting the question mark, or Help button, at the top right of the screen, the Reference Guide opens. It provides access to the online content, troubleshooting information and instructional videos. System messages and diagnostic codes are further described in Troubleshooting.
