Atellica® Direct Load Hardware Overview Online Training

Welcome to the Atellica® Direct Load Hardware Overview Online Training course. The Atellica® Solution consists of modules and analyzers that are configurable for individual laboratory testing needs including:  Central workstation/computer  Sample entry module  Analyzers (including chemistry and immunoassay technology) This course will introduce you to the hardware elements on the Direct Load sample entry module. NOTE: Refer to the Operator's Guide for information on safety precautions that should be followed when operating the system. Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to: Identify hardware components and their function Identify the types of sample containers that can be processed on the system Congratulations. You have completed the Atellica® Direct Load Hardware Overview online training course. Listed below are the key points that have been presented.  Take time to review the material before you proceed to the final quiz.  Identify the hardware components and their function External components: Monitor, keyboard, and mouse - keyboard and mouse can fold back under the monitor Visual status light - primary status light is mounted to the top of the monitor. The indicator lights will display green, yellow, or red, depending on the status of the system.  Ambient temperature and humidity sensor is part of the status light assembly Barcode reader - used to scan sample tube labels before test processing and to input bulk fluid consumables on the attached analyzer Sample rack lanes - a magnetic conveyor system controls the movement of racks along the lanes. Sensors are located on the lanes to automatically advance racks through the system Entry queue - sample tube racks are sent through the analyzer by placing racks in the entry queue. Maximum capacity of 10 racks (6 tubes can be loaded in each rack, for a total capacity of 60 sample tubes) Exit queue - once aspiration is complete, the sample tube racks exit the system via the exit queue. Maximum capacity of 10 racks Interior components: Vision cameras - located in the back of the sample rack lanes. Identify rack ID barcodes, tube ID barcodes, tube size adaptors, sample cups in tubes, and sample  tubes without caps. Each camera processes the images for 1 side of the rack Rack shuttle - transfers sample racks from the entry queue into the rack positioner and presents the sample racks to the vision system for sample identification Sensors – detect the sample racks as they are transferred between the rack shuttle and the sample rack lanes Rack positioner –  moves the sample rack to the analyzer sampling points. The analyzer has 2 sampling points for the 2 rows of sample positions on the rack. After the analyzer processes all 6 positions of the rack, the rack positioner moves the rack under the shuttle carrier toward the exit queue. The rack goes through a gate, and moves forward as the operator unloads any racks in front of it on the exit queue NOTE: The system computer is located in the compartment beneath the sample rack lanes.  There are two available USB ports for data transfer on the system computer. Identify the types of sample containers that can be processed on the system The Atellica Direct Load sample racks and sample containers: Each sample rack has 6 tube positions The racks are available in a variety of colors In the default configuration, the system does not distinguish between different rack colors There is a configuration option available to assign a specific tube size to a rack color. If this configuration is used, the system will disregard the tube characteristic data from the vision cameras The default tube size is 16 x 100mm. Adaptors are used to support shorter and smaller diameter tubes Tube top cups are automatically detected when placed on top of supported tubes The system supports both barcoded and non-barcoded tubes NOTE: Sample containers with caps are not supported. NOTE: Refer to the Operator's Guide for a complete list of the supported sample containers.   Hardware components of the Atellica® Direct Load: Exterior Components Interior Components Monitor, keyboard, and mouse Visual status light Barcode reader Sample rack lanes: entry and exit queues Vision cameras Rack shuttle Sensors Rack positioner NOTE: There are two available USB ports for data transfer on the front of the system computer.
