Congratulations. You have completed the ADVIA® Centaur XP Troubleshooting Online Training course. Listed below are the key points that have been presented.  Take time to review the material before you proceed to the final quiz.  In this course, you have learned to: Describe when to utilize Diagnostic Tools For cuvette jams, it may be necessary to perform an Empty and Fill Ring. For reagent probe errors, performing a Dispense Test will help to determine the issue. Use the Vacuum Test to confirm a vacuum low error has been resolved. Use Prime System Fluid Bottle when the system runs out of cleaning solution during the daily cleaning procedure. Discuss how to access the Event Log The Event Log can be accessed by selecting the Event Log status button. List the steps to access and navigate the Online Help Select an error in the Event Log, press the Procedure button and then the Find button.  Type the error code in the search field, press Enter and then select the blue hyperlink. Identify and list the steps to resolve common issues Turn Mechanics Off before investigating the error. Cuvette jams - Check the Orientation and Vertical chutes, Preheater, Ring Loader, Elevator and Luminometer.  Remove any jammed cuvettes with a disposable transfer pipette. Sample Tip jams - Observe the Sample Tip Waste Tube and Chute.  Remove and clean if necessary. Reagent Probe: Volume checks or vertical move errors - check the reagent pack, perform a Dispense Test and replace the probe if necessary. Maintenance issues - Daily Cleaning Procedure failures could be caused by running out of a supply or cleaning solution.  Refill the supply if required.  If the system ran out of cleaning solution, perform Prime System Fluid Bottle in Diagnostic Tools.
