5.B. Setting Up Samples and Collecting Input Data (continued)
Figure 23. The Bar Code Input screen.
1. This screen indicates the cartridge position on top, and the SampleID option is highlighted. Position 01 is the
initial position. To start at a different position number, select the Position option to open a keypad for choosing
the required number.
2. Scan the bar code label on the sample tube or pretreatment tube. The bar code data are added on the screen next
to the Sample ID option.
3. For SEV methods, scan the cartridge to which the sample will be added; the cartridge bar code data will appear
on the screen next to the Cart. ID option. Add the sample to the associated cartridge. Place the cartridge in the
instrument platform position corresponding to the Position number on the screen. Scan the Elution Tube bar
code, and place the tube in the Elution Tube slot at the front of the platform next to the appropriate cartridge.
The bar code data will appear on the screen next to the Eluate ID option. Review the scanned data. All three
codes should match. If they do not match, you can reselect the option to change and rescan the information.
4. For LEV methods, scan the cartridge to which the sample will be added; the cartridge bar code data will appear
on the screen next to the Cart. ID option. Place the cartridge in the LEV Cartridge Rack. Add the sample to the
cartridge. Scan the Elution Tube bar code, and place the tube in the Elution Tube slot at the front of the cartridge
rack next to the appropriate cartridge. The bar code data will appear on the screen next to the Eluate ID option.
Review the scanned data. All three codes should match. If they do not match, you can reselect the option to
change and rescan the information.
5. Scan the kit box bar code label. The bar code data will appear on the screen next to the Kit Info option. If the kit
expiration date has passed, an error message will be displayed, and a different kit lot must be used. If more than
one kit lot is to be used, the new kit lot number can be scanned when the first cartridge and Elution Tube from
the new kit are added to the cartridge rack.
Note: Kit lot numbers will automatically advance to the next sample position. If a new kit lot number is used,
delete the incorrect lot information and scan the correct information or enter manually.
