In order to interrupt movements and x-ray release in emergency situations, you should press one of the emergency stop buttons. The emergency shutdown button should only be used in extreme situations as it will result in full system interruption and is an uncontrolled process which could result in data loss. Emergency stop buttons are on the front sides of the Table and Pilot control modules. When the emergency stop button is pressed the following system functions are interrupted; System movements are stopped immediately. Fluoroscopy and acquisition are stopped. If the injector is controlled by the system, injections are also stopped. Fluoroscopy and acquisition can be released again without cancelling the emergency stop, but system movements will only be possible after cancelling the emergency stop. To cancel the emergency stop, pull on the button. Please note that you may have additional emergency stop buttons in the control room, please check where they are located.   Access the Start of Day checklist from the Start of Day icon on the software Home screen. The tasks on the checklist include: Emptying the waste Filling the treated water Checking the syringes Checking the cuvette blank measurement Checking the cleaning solutions Priming the system Checking the daily report Also check the Reagents on the system and refill/replace if necessary. Start of Day Checklist Learn about performing the tasks on the Start of Day checklist. Checklist TitleChecklist TypeChecklist ContentSelect Start of Day IconHTML From the Home screen, select the Start of Day icon.

Remove the waste container cap then carefully slide the full container out of the system. Empty the waste contents following standard laboratory practices for biohazard disposal. Return the container to the system and replace/tighten the cap onto the bottle. Close the cabinet door. Follow this same process for the Concentrated Waste. Warning: System waste is considered a potential biohazard. Follow standard laboratory operating procedures for handling and disposal of biohazardous waste.  Fill the Treated WaterHTML Open the treated water container door. Remove the cap and filter, then slide the container out of the system. Replace the container with a new bottle that has been prepared with 12.5 mL of system solution and 5 L of distilled or purified water. Place the cap and filter onto the new bottle and secure it into place. Close the cabinet door. Note: When using a water purification system (e.g. Millipore), the water must sit in the bottle for 24 hours before being placed on the system. Check SyringesHTML Check the syringes during the priming of the system. To prime the system, follow these steps:  From the Home screen, select Tasks > Maintenance > Prime and Drain > Prime System. Open the pipettor door on the side of the instrument. Inspect the reagent and sample syringes and verify that no air bubbles or leaks are present.  Check Cuvette BlankHTML The cuvette blank is set to automatically run every day. If this was successful, there will be a checkmark next to the Check Cuvette Blank item on the Start of Day checklist. You can review the blank results by selecting this item from the checklist. Verify the status, value information and the expiration date. If the blank has expired or is about to expire, you will need to run a new one.   Check/Refill 10% Cleaning SolutionHTML On the Start of Day checklist, select the Check/refill 10% cleaning solution option. Verify the inventory level and the expiration date. If the fill level is low, refill the tube with the existing 10% cleaning solution lot. If it has expired, select Replace, enter Lot Number and Lot Expiration Date, and select Accept. Place the new tube with the new lot of 10% cleaning solution into the sample rotor in position W.  Check 0.1N HCl Cleaning SolutionHTML From the Home screen in the software, select Start of Day > Check 0.1N HCl Cleaning Solution. Check the inventory level and expiration date - refill or replace the bottle on the Reagent Rotor, if necessary. When replacing the solution, enter the Lot Number and Expiration Date.   Prime SystemHTML From the Home screen, select the Tasks icon. In the Tasks screen, select Maintenance > Prime and Drain > Prime System. Allow the system to prime and check for any leaks or bubbles in the syringes.  Check/Print the Daily ReportHTML On the Start of Day checklist, select the option for Check daily report. You can review the start of day activities and print the report. To print a copy of the report, select Daily Report.  Check ReagentsHTML From the Home screen, select the Reagents icon. Select Reagent Info to view the status of the reagents currently loaded onto the system. For any reagents that show a status of Reagent Expired, Reagent Level Low or Reagent Empty, refill or replace the reagents appropriately. Note: If the reagent is from a different lot, a calibration must be performed. When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue.   Check Cuvette Blank Learn about checking the cuvette blank. Tab TitleTextRun a CuvetteBlank On the Start of Day checklist, select Check cuvette blank. To perform a cuvette blank, select Run, then select Yes to acknowledge the prompt that the operation will take some time and will make the instrument unavailable for tests.   When the cuvette blank results are within the defined acceptable ranges, the measurement is automatically accepted and the information on the screen is updated. At this time, no further action is required. Manually AcceptCuvette Blank Only users with Supervisor or Administrator access can manually accept a cuvette blank. To perform this action, select Check cuvette blank from the Start of Day checklist. Choose the desired Cuvette Blank Measurement then select Accept. Note: Manually accepting a cuvette blank is only needed during troubleshooting. The system will automatically accept or reject a cuvette blank.  Reject CuvetteBlank Only users with Supervisor or Administrator access can reject a cuvette blank. To perform this action, select Check cuvette blank from the Start of Day checklist. Choose the desired Cuvette Blank Measurement, then select Reject. Note: Manually rejecting a cuvette blank is only needed during troubleshooting. The system will automatically accept or reject a cuvette blank.  Exclude CuvetteBlank Results Only users with Supervisor or Administrator access can exclude cuvette blank results. Excluding cuvette blank results is performed during troubleshooting - it is not a routine activity. To perform this action, select Check cuvette blank from the Start of Day checklist. Select Edit. Choose the desired Cuvette Blank Measurement, then select Disable. Select Accept to accept the remaining cuvette blank measurements. Note: Up to 5 cuvettes can be excluded before the cuvette rotor must be replaced. Excluded cuvettes will not be used by the system. If an excluded cuvette is selected, selecting Enable in the software reactivates the cuvette for use with the next cuvette blank measurement. When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue.     You use the table control module (TCM) to perform table movements. You may have one of two variations of the table control module: either the TCMS with panning knob for servo-assisted movements or the TCMJ with joystick for motorized table movements. The keys on the table control module control the following important functions; block table movements, unlock table rotation, raise or lower the table and set the orientation of the control modules. Please note that when using the TCMS, if the table is not tilted the movements are servo-assisted. If the table is tilted, the tabletop is moved with a constant speed. The controls on the Viva-ProE™ System will expire every day. As part of the start of day activities, you will need to run controls. Running Daily Controls Learn about how to run daily controls.
