Loading the reagent trays

CAUTION
The operator is alerted to this problem by the QC results.
Corrective action is to reload the reagents on the correct trays.

Updating the Cumulative QC

Update the QC Cumulative window before more than 200 daily control samples are run.
The QC Daily Precision Control window can manage a maximum of 200 results for each
control product (level). If an additional control sample is run, the current 200
(Px200) is overwritten by the new control result. Similarly, if multiple repetitions of a
control are requested, the system aspirates only one sample and its result replaces the
existing 200
