Queuing and De-Queuing Worklists

To add a worklist to the queue:
Note: If the "Require Operator Logon When Worklist Queued" configuration option is
enabled, the operator is prompted to re-logon to complete the queuing process. This
ensures that the username that is recorded on the Worklist Report accurately reflects the
operator that queued the worklist.
Note: Worklists cannot be queued if an automated maintenance task is queued.
1. From the Stored Worklists grid of the Run Manager screen, select the worklist to be
queued.
2. Click Add.
The system adds the worklist to the Queued Worklists grid. It also updates the number
of available tests for both the Lower Bay Inventory and Upper Bay Inventory in
anticipation of the volume of reagent and fluid that will be used for the queued worklist.
To remove a worklist from the queue:
1. On the Queued Worklists grid, select the worklist to be removed.
2. Click Remove.
The system de-queues the worklist and moves it to the stored worklists. The inventory
that was reduced in anticipation of the worklist is restored.

Loading Sample Racks

Samples can be loaded and run after one or more worklists have been created and queued for
the samples.
Note: Make sure that the samples meet the appropriate sample volume requirements
before loading them into sample racks. See "Sample Requirements" on page 1-25.
Note: Improperly prepared samples may cause errors on the PROCLEIX
Refer to the appropriate PROCLEIX
preparation instructions.
Caution: Processing a sample with less than the minimum sample volume can result in
errors (e.g., a Quantity Not Sufficient (QNS) error). The minimum sample volume includes
both the sample pipetting volume and the dead volume. For gel plasma separator tubes,
the minimum sample volume includes the sample pipetting volume and the buffer zone
volume.

Loading Samples into Racks

Refer to the appropriate PROCLEIX Assay package insert for information about preparing
samples for processing and for recommended sample storage conditions and handling. Load
calibrators, PROCLEIX
racks onto the system.
Caution: Avoid touching the tops of specimens, calibrators, and PROCLEIX
Controls during preparation and loading.
Caution: Use only the sample racks and sample tubes that are designed for use on the
