Atellica® Sample Handler Connect Hardware Overview Online Training

Sample Handler Connect Hardware Overview includes identifying the hardware components and their function.

Welcome to the Atellica® Sample Handler Connect (SHC) Hardware Overview Online Training course. The Atellica® Solution consists of a family of modules and analyzers that are configurable for individual laboratory testing needs including: Central workstation/computer Sample entry module Analyzers (including immunoassay and chemistry technologies) This course will introduce you to the hardware elements on the Sample Handler Connect module, which allows a Sample Handler to be connected to a Laboratory Automation System (LAS). NOTE:  Refer to the Operator's Guide for information on safety precautions that should be followed when operating the system.   Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to: Identify hardware components and their function Describe the sample processing sequence Congratulations. You have completed the Atellica® Sample Handler Connect Hardware Overview 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.  Identify the hardware components and their function Top Cover - controlled by a system of interlocks. To open the front top cover, the operator must release the interlocks by selecting an unlock button in the software. When the cover is unlocked, the system removes power from the Sample Handler Connect (SHC) robots so they cannot move Input Robot - loads sample containers onto the SHC from the LAS Output Robot - returns sample containers to the LAS from the SHC Tube Characterization Station (TCS) - an integrated system of 3 cameras that read the barcodes on the sample containers the SHC transfers from the LAS. The images obtained by the cameras determine the carrier ID of the Atellica Magline® Transport carrier holding the sample container, and the sample container barcode ID. The cameras also measure the height and width of the sample containers, and determine the center point of the sample container in the carrier Describe the sample processing sequence The steps of the sample processing sequence on the Atellica Sample Handler Connect include: The Laboratory Automation System (LAS) provides the sample barcode ID to the system The SHC input robotic arm transfers the sample from the LAS to a carrier on the Atellica Magline Transport The SHC tube characterization system checks the sample barcode to confirm it matches the LAS input If the barcode information does not match, the system marks the sample as mismatched and the SHC output robot returns it to the LAS If the barcode information matches, the system identifies the required tests and continues processing the sample The Atellica Magline Transport delivers the carrier and associated sample to the analyzer(s) for aspiration After aspirating all tests, the system returns the sample to the SHC The SHC output robotic arm transfers the sample to the LAS During operation, the operator can simultaneously load and unload samples from the Sample Handler sample drawers while the system processes samples from the LAS. The Sample Handler can be used to load tube types that the LAS does not support such as tube top cups or capillary tubes. The Sample Handler Connect returns all LAS-routed samples back to the LAS. The operator removes all operator-loaded samples from the system through the Sample Handler racks and drawers.   Hardware components of the Atellica® Sample Handler Connect: Top Cover Input Robot Output Robot Tube Characterization Station (TCS) Hardware Components Learn about the main hardware components Instructions:If media does not automatically start, select the play arrow to begin.Flash File:/content/generator/Course_90018315/sim_Atellica_SHC_HardwareOverview/sim_Atellica_SHC_HardwareOverview.htmHTML5 File:/content/generator/Course_90018315/sim_Atellica_SHC_HardwareOverview/index.htmlPDF File: The steps of the sample processing sequence on the include: The Laboratory Automation System (LAS) provides the sample barcode ID to the system The Atellica® Sample Handler Connect (SHC) input robotic arm transfers the sample from the LAS to a carrier on the Atellica Magline® Transport The SHC tube characterization system checks the sample barcode to confirm it matches the LAS input If the barcode information does not match, the system marks the sample as mismatched and the SHC output robot returns it to the LAS If the barcode information matches, the system identifies the required tests and continues processing the sample The Atellica Magline Transport delivers the sample to the analyzer(s) for aspiration After aspirating all tests, the system returns the sample to the SHC The SHC output robotic arm transfers the sample to the LAS During operation, the operator can simultaneously process samples from the Sample Handler sample drawers while the system processes samples from the LAS.
