Congratulations. You have completed the ADVIA® 2120i Hematology System Starting and Ending Each Shift 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. You have learned how to: Empty the waste container The waste container can be a Manual stand-alone container or an Automatic waste container. To empty the Automated waste the analyzer must not be in the Standby mode.  Waste is stored in an 11-liter waste container.  An error message appears on the monitor and an audible alarm sounds when the fluid level in the container reaches the "Maximum Level".  Manual waste container: When emptying, first disconnect the vacuum and waste lines and level sensor switch connector line. The waste can then be drained by turning the spigot to the open position. Follow your laboratory regulations for waste disposal.   Automatic waste container: To empty the Automated waste the analyzer must not be in the Standby mode. First, disconnect the level sensor switch connector line, and then turn the selector knob on the waste assembly base, from the Normal mode to the Empty mode.  After the waste container has drained turn the selector knob back to the Normal mode and reconnect the level sensor switch connector line.   Check the Overflow bottle The Overflow bottle, located to the right of the RBC sample and sheath pumps, should not contain any liquid. It is recommended that a visual  check  be performed daily. If there is fluid in the bottle, empty it. You can refer to the Operator’s Guide for additional information Check and Replace reagent inventory Reagent Statuses except for DEFOAMER can be checked on the Startup screen or in the Reagent Log. A green color indicates that the Reagent is sufficient and  not expired. A red status indicates that the Reagent is empty or expired, and yellow indicates that the volume is low.   When replacing Reagents information regarding the replacement is entered on the Reagent Installation screen. SHEATH / RINSE Reagent comes packaged with a filter for the straw and is replaced when a new CUBITAINER™ is installed. Obtain Background counts Background counts are monitored on the Startup screen and need to be in range before processing samples or controls. If the counts are not in range, first perform a Refresh. If the background counts are still unacceptable, a System Wash should be performed. Wash the system A system wash cleans the analyzer's hydraulic pathways, chambers and flowcells with EZ Wash. These system washes are automated using the Autocycles Tab located under the Customize, Analyzer Setup menu. After the laboratory shift with the largest number of samples, run a three cycle wash. Only one wash cycle is required after other shifts.  If the number of samples in a shift exceeds 400, perform one system wash after the 400th sample. Identify the End of Day Procedure Moving average close out and SID resets are performed in End of Day, which is located under the Customize menu and Tools View Tab. An SID reset is performed to reset the Sample ID and Rack and Position numbers for samples in the Complete status so that the numbers can be used again.  When a reset is performed the files on the Sample Control Panel move from the Complete to the All Complete file. Select Next to continue. Waste is stored in an 11-liter waste container.  An error message appears on the monitor and an audible alarm sounds when the fluid level in the container reaches the "Maximum Level".   Starting Each Shift: Emptying the waste Learn how to empty the Manual Waste container.

If there is liquid in the bottle, remove the lines and empty the bottle. Select Next to continue. The Reagent inventory is monitored on the Startup screen or the Reagent Log. The system displays colored status indicators that indicates when the inventory needs to be replaced. After it is replaced, reagent information is imported using the Reagent Installation screen.   Check and Replace Reagents Learn how to Check and Replace Reagents. Checklist TitleChecklist TypeChecklist ContentStartup screenHTML   The Startup screen can be used to check the supply of all reagents except the DEFOAMER.  From the Operations menu access the Startup Tab for the Analyzer.  Select each checkbox to learn more about Checking and Replacing Reagents.  Reagent statusesHTML   If a Reagent status is green there is an adequate amount of reagent.  If a Reagent status is yellow, it indicates that the reagent is running low.  Red indicates that it is either empty or expired. The DEFOAMER bottle must be manually checked because the cycle count does not appear on the Startup screen.  Reagent Inventory ScreenHTML The status of the reagents can also be viewed by accessing the Reagent Inventory Screen under the Logs menu.  The green, red and yellow colors have the same meaning as those on the Startup screen.  Reagents can only be viewed and not replaced on this screen.  Replacing reagentsHTML To replace the Reagents, remove the straw/filter assembly or individual straw from the bottles to be replaced. To avoid contamination, be careful that droplets do not splatter from the end of the straws.   Remove bottlesHTML Remove the empty TIMEPAC™ reagent or bottle from the analyzer and discard it in an environmentally safe manner.  Scan BarcodeHTML Using the hand-held barcode scanner, scan the barcode of each new bottle to be replaced.  After the new reagents have been placed on the analyzer, the next step is to import the reagent information.
