  • Page 7 INTRODUCTION TRAINING OVERVIEW ® The ARCHITECT System is a fully-automated system allowing random and continuous access. The Retest Sample Handler (RSH) module is the portion of an integrated instrument system with which the operator interacts to load and unload samples. The sample-handling module moves samples from the loading platform to each aspiration point on any processing module through an instrument system.
  • Page 8 Instrument Service Advisories (ISA) ARCHITECT System and RSH Service and Support Manuals, ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Technical Service Bulletins, and Instrument Service Advisories can be accessed through the Abbott Global Service and Support (GSS) intranet site unless otherwise noted. Service Personnel should keep their laptop updated to contain current revision levels of materials through timely installation of CD-ROM updates and/or replication.

  • Page 11 INTRODUCTION HAZARDS The ARCHITECT RSH has been designed for optimal operator safety. However, this does not reduce the importance of safety awareness where hazards exist. This section describes the types and locations of potential hazards that could cause physical harm or damage to the laboratory environment or where failure to follow instructions may result in instrument failure or generation of erroneous patient results.
  • Page 12 INTRODUCTION Safety Icons and Hazard Symbols Safety icons in this manual and on the ARCHITECT System identify potentially dangerous conditions. Service Personnel must recognize the icons and understand the type and degree of potential hazard. The following icons may be used with text or in lieu of text. If text accompanies the icon, it describes the nature of the hazard and is labeled with DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION.
  • Page 13 INTRODUCTION Other Related Symbols Icon Description NOTE: The alternating current symbol appears on the ® ARCHITECT System at a terminal to which or from which an alternative (sine wave) current or voltage can be applied or supplied. NOTE: On an electrical switch, a vertical bar identifies the ON position.
  • Page 14 INTRODUCTION Electrical Hazards The ARCHITECT System does not pose uncommon electrical hazards if it is installed properly and connected to a power source that meets required specifications. Basic electrical hazard awareness is essential to the safe operation of any system. It is recommended that a ground fault circuit interrupter be used when working in a wet environment.
  • Page 15 INTRODUCTION Mechanical Hazards The RSH System is an automated system that operates under computer control. As with most automated equipment there is potential for injury and bodily harm from moving mechanical components whenever the instrument is in operation. The ARCHITECT System minimizes mechanical hazards by providing guards to protect against accidental contact with moving components.
