Replacing Depleted Fluids

In order to properly manage the Lower Bay fluids, the operator must take into account the
number of tests remaining for each fluid versus the total number of tests that will be run before
Lower Bay inventory is performed again. If not enough tests remain, the depleted fluid must be
replaced.
To verify the number of tests remaining for each fluid:
1. Click the View Fluid Details button in the Load Fluids window.
The Fluid Details window opens, displaying the current number of tests remaining in
each individual fluid bottle within the Fluids Drawer.
2. Determine which bottle (A or B) to replace for each, then click OK to close the window.
Note: Take into account the number of tests that are consumed by a system prime. A
system prime may consume up to 80 tests per bottle. If the number of tests that will be
run plus 80 exceeds the number of tests remaining for any Lower Bay fluid bottle,
replace that fluid.
Note: When replacing fluid bottles, ensure that bottles A and B of the same fluid are
from the same lot.
Warning: Handle and dispose of solid and liquid waste and all unused reagents and
materials that have come in contact with specimens and reagents according to local,
state, and federal regulations.
Caution: Do not load any reagents or other fluids into the PROCLEIX
that are not approved for use by Novartis Diagnostics.
