Manually Download Test Orders

During Random Access sample loading, with systems connected to an LIS, the
system can either retrieve test orders through automatic host query, or via manual
download (see Specimen Processing Modes on page 214). If not configured for
automatic host query, manually download the test orders before loading the
specimens into the system. This allows the test orders to be matched with the
specimens upon loading.
To manually download test orders from an LIS:
1. From the Test Orders screen, select Fetch from LIS.

Loading Sample Racks

Load Sample Racks into the Sample Bay

Up to eight (8) Sample Racks can be loaded onto the system at a time. Ensure that
all drawers and doors other than the Sample Bay Door are closed when loading
Sample Racks.
To load Sample Racks:
1. Open the Sample Bay Door.
The Sample Rack Bay screen opens.
2. Lift a Sample Rack by the handle in the back from the Rack Loading Tray, if used,
and transport the rack to the system.
3. Before loading the rack into a Sample Bay Lane, ensure that the onscreen
Sample Bay Lane graphic is bordered in purple and the Sample Bay lane LED is
flashing green.
4. After the conditions in Step 3 have been met, gently slide the Sample Rack into
the appropriate Sample Bay Lane until it reaches the back of the bay.
Note—The operator can choose an alternate empty Sample Bay Lane
other than the default choice by clicking on the desired lane on the
Sample Rack Bay screen and then selecting Change Scan Lane.
The Sample Barcode Reader will automatically scan the Sample Rack and
sample barcodes as the rack is loaded. Samples are registered by the system
