Sample Access Line operation
During normal operation, the status of the Sample Access Line (SAL) is Online. Samples are
automatically routed to the SAL from input modules. The operator can transition the SAL status
to Offline or Online on the touchscreen user interface. Ensure that the track hoods are closed
and locked before operating the SAL.
NOTE: Before assay calibrations or quality controls are run on the Alinity ci-series reagent and
sample manager, the SAL must be placed Offline on one Alinity ci-series processing module that
is attached to the SAL. For multiple Alinity ci-series processing modules that are attached to the
SAL, refer to the Alinity ci-series Operations Manual to disable reagents to run assay calibrations
or quality controls while the SAL is Online.
CAUTION: Incorrect sample handling may cause a health risk due to incorrect analysis
results. Incorrect sample handling during laboratory automation system (LAS) operation
may cause sample contamination, which can cause delayed results or incorrect patient
diagnoses. Only allow trained personnel to operate the LAS. Specifically assess the
situation each time after an error occurs. Keep the track hood closed.
