You have just learned about the ADVIA® 1800 screens that are useful to the VersaCell™ operator. The AD System has two types of maintenance tasks; those that are required and those that are recommended. The required maintenance is maintenance that is performed after a run. The recommended maintenance is suggested to be performed on a weekly basis. There are certain operator errors that are unique to the connection of the VersaCell™ to an ADVIA® 1800 system: Order Errors Sample Errors Errors Requiring the Use of the SEND Button on the Tube Status screen Inventory Errors and Test Activation Learn when the VersaCell™ will display an ADVIA® 1800 test on the Inventory Errors screen. ADVIA® 1800 tests may be deactivated so that certain test orders are not sent to the ADVIA® 1800 system for processing. To deactivate a test, from the VersaCell™ Configuration menu, select Test Activation. Select the test from the Active Tests list, then select Disable Test and Save. To reactivate a test, select the test from the Inactive Tests list and then select Enable Test and Save. This configuration setting should be used instead of deactivating a test at the ADVIA® 1800 system. If tests are deactivated on the ADVIA® 1800 system, the VersaCell™ wastes time sending test orders to the ADVIA® 1800 system that cannot be processed and may cause the ADVIA® 1800 software to lose communication with the VersaCell™. Once an ADVIA® 1800 test is deactivated that is in the worklist, it appears on the Inventory Errors screen with an asterisk. This is the only inventory information that appears on the Inventory Errors screen for the ADVIA® 1800 system. All other errors associated with inventory problems on the ADVIA® 1800 system appear on the Order Errors screen. When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue. Error Stop Instrument Status Learn about the Instrument Status “Error Stop” that can display. The Instrument Status bar for the ADVIA® 1800 system will display a red "Error Stop" status under the following conditions: The ADVIA® 1800 emergency stop was selected A consumables error occurred (ISE Buffer, Saline, Cuvette Wash or Cuvette Conditioner) The operator must replenish the deficient consumable and wait for the ADVIA® 1800 system to re-establish communication with the VersaCell™. This process may take several minutes, but eventually communication will automatically be re-established. A mechanical jam occurred The Dilution Pipetting Probe (DPP) may jam in the Interface Wheel due to a power failure or unexpected error condition. In this case, the start up order of instruments is important. To recover from this type of jam, log off and log back on to the ADVIA® 1800 system to make sure the DPP clears the Interface Wheel before continuing. When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue. When an ADVIA® 1800 test has an Order Error posted on the VersaCell™, it means that either the ADVIA® 1800 system cannot run the test or the VersaCell™ did not receive the results in the expected time frame. One example is any error involving the reagents, which would post to an Order Error instead of an Inventory Error for ADVIA® 1800 tests. Test Processing Configurations Learn how to configure the time frame in which the VersaCell™ expects to receive a result. Result Time Out Setting The Result Time Out setting controls how long the VersaCell™ waits to receive a result before marking a sample with an Order Error. This number should be set between 12-15 minutes if no reflexive or re-run tests are configured, or 25-30 minutes if reflexive or re-run tests are configured. The default is 30 minutes. Add-On Order Delay The Add-On Order Delay setting controls how long the VersaCell™ waits after the original test orders were sent to the ADVIA® 1800 system to send additional test orders. If no delay is set and the add-on orders are sent while the original orders are still processing, then the add-on orders are rejected by the ADVIA® 1800 system. The default is 15 minutes. To access both of these settings, from the VersaCell™ Configuration menu, select System Configurations and then User Configuration. When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue. Order Errors Learn how to troubleshoot Order Errors. Checklist TitleChecklist TypeChecklist ContentRecognize indications of an Order ErrorHTMLSelect each checkbox to learn more about troubleshooting order errors. There are several ways to identify an Order Error using the VersaCell™ screens: The tube will appear as a lavender color on the Drawer screen The Order Errors button at the bottom of the screen will be red The Sample Errors button at the bottom of the screen will be red. Within the Sample Errors screen, an Order Error will be listed. Select the Order Errors button.HTML The Order Errors screen displays a list of ADVIA® 1800 tests that did not process. The information can be displayed either by Browse by Test Type or Browse by Sample. The default is Browse by Test. The Order Errors screen displays sample and test order information in a hierarchical structure. The first level is the total number of samples or tests that have Order Errors. Selecting the “+” sign next to the first level, or selecting the expand button on the navigation tool on the right of the screen, provides more detailed information about each sample or test.Correct the Order Error.HTML This table lists the most common Order Error messages and their descriptions. If the Order Error message is “Insufficient Sample”, then the operator would investigate the contents of the sample tube. If the Order Error message is “Sample Rejected”, then the operator would investigate the inventory associated with the test type. In the case of “Result Timeout” and “Failed to Result”, the operator would investigate the status of the test order on the ADVIA® 1800 system. If the test did not result on the ADVIA® 1800 system, it could be due to an inventory problem or some other error that occurred on the system. The operator should review the ADVIA® 1800 Error Report for additional information.Select the RESEND button.HTML Once the error is resolved, the operator checks off the box for the resolved samples or tests, and then selects the RESEND button to transfer the sample tubes back to the Interface Wheel for processing. For samples that are marked unavailable, the tubes must be put in a Drawer, rescanned and resent. When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue. Causes of Sample Errors The ADVIA® 1800 system has detected a problem with the tube (for example a clot or insufficient sample volume). These errors also post as Order Errors. There is more than one tube with the same accession number on the VersaCell™ (duplicate accession error). Sample Errors Learn how to troubleshoot ADVIA® 1800 Sample Errors. Checklist TitleChecklist TypeChecklist ContentRecognize indications of sample errorsHTMLSelect each checkbox to learn more about troubleshooting ADVIA® 1800 Sample Errors. There are several ways to identify an ADVIA® 1800 Sample Error using the VersaCell™ screens: The tube will appear as a pink color on the Drawer screen On the Tube Status Screen, the VersaCell™ marks this sample as an Order Error in the Order Status column The Order Errors and Sample Errors buttons at the bottom of the screen will be red Select the Sample Errors button.HTML By selecting the Sample Errors button, the operator can determine if the sample error is caused by a problem with the sample (clot or insufficient sample volume) or by a duplicate accession number. The status for a clot or insufficient sample volume error is Order Error. The status for a duplicate accession number is Duplicate. If the sample is listed as Duplicate, then the operator can use the Find screen to search for the location of the other sample tube that has the same accession number. If the sample is listed as Order Error, then continue with the following steps to correct the error.Fix the sample error.HTML Unlock the Drawer with the sample error tube by pressing the Drawer button. Fix the clot or insufficient sample volume problem. The sample tube must be rescanned to continue processing. To rescan the sample tube, place it in a new position in the same Drawer or in a position in a different Drawer.Select Resend on the Order Errors screen.HTML After moving the tube, clear the order error status by accessing the Order Errors screen to resend the sample tube back to the ADVIA® 1800 system. When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue. The SEND button on the Tube Status screen is used to manually send a tube to an Interface Wheel. For example: If the operator manually orders a test using the ADVIA® 1800 software, the operator needs to either place that tube directly onto the ADVIA® 1800 system or use the SEND button. If the operator needs to resend a tube to the Interface Wheel because there is an error, but there is no order error posted Send Button on Tube Status Screen Learn how to use the SEND button on the Tube Status screen. Checklist TitleChecklist TypeChecklist ContentRecognize indications that SEND should be used.HTMLSelect each checkbox to learn more about using the SEND button on the Tube Status screen to resolve errors. A test that has a status of resulted on the VersaCell™, but has not completed (no actual result is displayed) requires the operator to use the SEND button to allow the VersaCell™ to transfer the tube back to the Interface Wheel.Correct the error on the ADVIA® 1800 instrument.HTML To resolve these types of errors, the operator must first correct the error on the ADVIA® 1800 system (for example, calibrating the test again if there was a calibration error). Then, the operator must reorder the test on that sample tube.Select the SEND button.HTML To allow the VersaCell™ to transfer the tube back to the Interface Wheel for pipetting, the operator must select the SEND button on the Tube Status screen. When the SEND button is selected, the Instrument Selection window displays. The operator must select ADVIA® 1800 and OK to send the tube.The VersaCell™ resends the tube.HTML The sample position updates with an orange circle to indicate the SEND button was selected and the sample status updates to yellow to indicate it is waiting to be sent back to the ADVIA® 1800 system.
