Errors and troubleshooting
CAUTION: Risk of death due to electrical voltage or mechanical movement of parts, or
risk of fire due to short circuits. Electric shocks, moving parts, or fires can cause severe
injuries or death. Keep the access to the mains switch, mains plug, and track filter power
switch clear from objects.
CAUTION: Misdiagnosis of samples resulting from a manual reset of the Sample
Access Line (SAL) controller. Incorrect order data on the analyzer can cause incorrect
assignment of test results. Ensure that the connected analyzer is not processing
samples.
CAUTION: Risk of infection due to skin contact. The operator may be exposed to
serious injury, including death or infections, due to skin contact with infected sample
matter. Wear personal protective equipment during operation.
CAUTION: Manual removal or exchange of samples in the SAL waiting area presents
a health risk to patients and test results. Manual removal or exchange of samples may
adversely affect the health of patients due to incorrect treatment. Do not manually
remove or exchange samples in CARs on the laboratory automation system. Do not
change the CAR sequence. Keep the track hood closed.
CAUTION: Risk to health and material damage caused by capped sample tubes.
Capped sample tubes may cause damage to the pipette unit of the analyzer. This
damage may cause delayed results, which may adversely affect the health of patients.
Ensure that only uncapped sample tubes are transferred to the pipette unit of the
analyzer.
CAUTION: Danger of incorrect pipetting and incorrect results. Inadequate sample
volume in sample tubes can cause incorrect pipetting and incorrect results. Ensure that
the sample volume in the sample tubes is adequate.
NOTE: The connection of third-party equipment on the track socket strip may cause errors in the
operating sequence. Do not connect any third-party equipment to the track socket strip.
NOTE: Ensure that the area for the track sockets can be accessed easily. If an error occurs,
unplug the grounding plug to disconnect the electrical connection. For more information,
contact an Abbott Laboratories representative or an authorized service representative.
