Sample Racks and Containers Adaptors Adaptors Tube-Top Sample Cups Tube-Top Sample Cups Racks Racks Racks Do not fill sample containers past the maximum recommended level. Overfilling sample containers may cause splashing while the container moves in the entry and exit queues. 26 racks are provided with the Rack Handler: 17 Grey, 3 Blue, 3 Red, and 3 Green Additional racks can be purchased if needed There is a configuration setting that can be used to configure specific rack colors for certain container types. Refer to Online Help for more information Sample Racks and Containers Each rack has 6 tube positions. The racks come in different colors. The lab can use the colors to organize tubes as desired. Select the tabs on the left side to learn more about sample racks and containers. Adaptors: The default tube size is 16 by 100 millimeters. Adaptors can be used for shorter and smaller diameter tubes. Ensure the correct type of adaptor is used for the tube size you are running. The system supports both barcoded and unbarcoded tubes. Sample containers with caps are not supported on the Rack Handler. Tube Top Cups: Tube-top sample cups can be placed inside a barcoded tube. Two types of tube top sample cups are available: Large (2 milliliter) green tube top sample cups, which are to be used for 16 millimeter diameter tubes and small (1 milliliter) blue tube top sample cups, which are to be used for 13 millimeter diameter tubes. Only use the correct diameter tube top sample cup in the correct diameter tube to avoid sample handling and aspiration errors. Before using the tube top sample cup feature, the local technical support provider must configure the tube top sample cup option and alignment. The tube-top cups should not be filled too high or splashing can occur.

Identify hardware components and their function Calibrator, quality control, patient sample, and STAT sample tubes are loaded onto the Atellica CI Analyzer via the Rack Handler module. Entry queue - Sample tube racks are sent through the analyzer by placing racks in the entry queue. Maximum capacity of 10 racks that can hold 6 samples each accommodating a total of 60 sample tubes. Exit queue - Once the samples have completed aspiration, they exit the analyzer through the exit queue. Maximum capacity of 10 sample racks. A magnetic conveyor system controls the movement of the racks on the entry queue and exit queue sample rack lanes. Sensors are located on the entry and exit queues to automatically advance racks through the system. Additional hardware components: Monitor, keyboard and mouse – there is a USB port behind the monitor Barcode reader - used to scan sample tube labels before test processing, and also to input bulk fluid consumables, IM test definitions, and calibrator definitions on the attached analyzer Disclaimer Please note that the learning material is for training purposes only.

Assessment Slide Parts Untitled Slide The Atellica Rack Handler is a sample handling subsystem. Calibrator, quality control, patient sample, and STAT sample tubes are loaded onto the Atellica CI Analyzer via the Rack Handler module. Untitled Slide Samples enter and exit the Rack Handler module via the sample rack lanes. There are 2 sample rack lanes on the Rack Handler: 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. Untitled Slide The entry queue has a maximum capacity of 10 racks that can hold 6 samples each, accommodating a total of 60 sample tubes. Untitled Slide The exit queue has a maximum capacity of 10 sample racks. Untitled Slide When the operator loads samples in the entry queue, the samples automatically travel into the system. Inside the system, the rack and sample barcodes are read by the barcode reader. The racks are then sent to the sampling positions and the sample is pipetted. Once sampling is complete, the rack is sent to the exit queue. Untitled Slide In addition to the sample rack lanes, the Rack Handler also houses the monitor, keyboard and mouse. Untitled Slide Behind the monitor there is a USB port that can be used for data transfer. Untitled Slide The barcode reader can be used to scan sample tube labels and racks before test processing, and also to input bulk fluid consumables, IM test definitions, and calibrator definitions on the attached analyzer.
