For navigation help, select the question mark icon located in the lower right corner of each slide. ? Hardware Components Play Select the play button to learn more about these components. Exterior Components Monitor, keyboard, and mouse Visual status light Barcode reader Sample rack lanes Interior Components Vision cameras Rack shuttle Sensors Rack positioner Note: There are two available USB ports for data transfer on the system computer. Hardware Components dl_hardware_components.mp3 In this section, the main areas of the Atellica Direct Load will be discussed. The external components can be accessed while the system is running. The interior components are accessed by removing the back cover, which can only be done when the system is in Pause or Stop mode. ? Acceptable Sample Containers 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. Acceptable Sample Containers dl_acceptable_containers.mp3 The Atellica Direct Load sample racks each have 6 tube positions. The racks are available in a variety of colors. The default tube size is 16 by 100 millimeters; however, adaptors are available to allow the loading of shorter and smaller diameter sample tubes. Tube top cups can be used and will be automatically detected by the system. The system supports both barcoded and non-barcoded tubes. Sample containers with caps are not supported. ?

Note: Refer to the Operator's Guide for a complete list of the supported sample containers. Identify hardware components and their functions 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 hardware components and their functions 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.

Assessment Slide Hardware Overview Hardware Overview sim_dl-hardware-components-1.mp3 The Atellica Direct Load is a sample handling subsystem. Calibrator, quality control, and patient sample tubes are loaded onto the system via the Direct Load module. Samples enter and exit the Direct Load module via the sample rack lanes. Hardware Overview sim_dl-hardware-components-2.mp3 There are 2 sample rack lanes on the Direct Load: an entry queue and an exit queue. Sample tube racks are sent through the analyzer by placing racks in the entry queue. Once the samples have completed aspiration, they exit the analyzer through the exit queue. A magnetic conveyor system controls the movement of the racks on the sample rack lanes. Sensors are located on the entry and exit queues to automatically advance racks through the system. Hardware Overview sim_dl-hardware-components-3.mp3 The sample racks each have 6 tube positions. Adaptors are available to allow shorter and smaller diameter samples to be loaded. Hardware Overview sim_dl-hardware-components-4.mp3 The entry queue has a maximum capacity of 10 racks that can hold 6 samples each, accommodating a total of 60 sample tubes. Hardware Overview sim_dl-hardware-components-5.mp3 The exit queue has a maximum capacity of 10 sample racks. Hardware Overview sim_dl-hardware-components-6.mp3 Several components are located at the back of the sample rack lanes to identify the samples and move the racks to various locations to allow for sample processing. Hardware Overview sim_dl-hardware-components-7.mp3 These components can be accessed by removing the back cover of the Direct Load module. Hardware Overview sim_dl-hardware-components-8.mp3 Once the back cover is removed, the area at the back end of the sample lanes is visible. The 2 vision cameras in the back of the sample rack lanes identify rack ID barcodes, tube ID barcodes, tube size adaptors, tube top cups, and sample tubes without caps. Each camera processes the images for 1 side of the rack. This area of the system also houses the rack shuttle. Hardware Overview sim_dl-hardware-components-9.mp3 The rack shuttle transfers sample racks from the entry queue into the rack positioner. The shuttle also presents the sample racks to the vision cameras for sample identification. Hardware Overview sim_dl-hardware-components-10.mp3 Sensors are used to detect the sample racks as they are transferred between the rack shuttle and the sample rack lanes. The rack positioner is located at the end of rack shuttle, on the side of the Direct Load module next to the analyzer. Hardware Overview sim_dl-hardware-components-11.mp3 The 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. Hardware Overview sim_dl-hardware-components-12.mp3 In addition to the sample rack lanes, the Direct Load also houses the monitor, keyboard and mouse. There is a primary status light mounted to the top of the monitor. The indicator lights will display green, yellow, or red, depending on the status of the system. There is also an ambient temperature and humidity sensor that is part of the status light assembly. The system computer is located in the compartment beneath the sample rack lanes. There are 2 front facing USB ports on the system computer. Hardware Overview sim_dl-hardware-components-13.mp3 The barcode reader is used to scan sample tube labels before test processing, and also to input bulk fluid consumables on the attached analyzer.
