Install Notes Guided Workflow Software Installation If your system is on version 1.29.x or higher, you can install the new version of software yourself. If your operator tablet software is version 1.29.x or higher, make sure it is connected to the system so it can be updated at the same time. Operator Tablets with v1.28.x or lower If your operator tablet software is version 1.28.x or lower, the tablet will require re-imaging by service prior to updating software. Version 1.31 software can still be installed by you or service on the Atellica Solution without updating the operator tablet. The operator tablet can be updated at a later date if required. Install Notes If you are on software version 1.29 or above, you can install the software yourself using the Guided Workflow feature, without having to wait for an engineer. If your operator tablet software is version 1.29 or higher, make sure it is connected to the system so it can be updated at the same time as your system software is updated. If your operator tablet software is version 1.28 or lower, the tablet will require re-imaging by service prior to updating software. However, version1.31 software can still be installed by you or service on the Atellica Solution without updating the operator tablet. The operator tablet can be updated at a later date if required. Updated Procedures In this new release there are several updated procedures on the system. Select the tab arrows on the right to learn more about these: Operator Tablet Software Volume Center Point Monitoring Short Calibration Interval Assays ? Operator Tablet Software Volume Center Point Monitoring Short Calibration Interval Assays Updated Procedures Main Layer Audio: On this slide, we’ll discuss some of the updated procedures with the new software. Select the tab arrows on the right to learn more about these. Operator Tablet Audio: The Atellica ASA software that was on the Siemens provided operator tablet is being replaced with new tablet software. This new software has more capabilities than the ASA software, and allows the tablet to act as a secondary display for remote interactions with the Atellica Solution system. For more information on the features and use of this new tablet software, please review the Atellica Solution Operator Tablet Software Video. Volume Center Point Monitoring Audio: For the IM Analyzer, Volume Center Point monitoring is replacing the Luminometer Base Check monitoring as part of IM Autocheck. The Luminometer Base Check test was prone to false failures. Volume Center Point monitoring provides a more effective method for identifying acid and base leak errors. This will reduce the number of service visits needed for luminometer issues. If the Volume Center Point test detects an acid or base issue, an event will be posted in the software. An added benefit is that the removal of the Luminometer Base Check test from IM Autocheck will reduce the time needed to complete daily maintenance. This feature was first introduced with software version 1.30.1. At that time, the feature was only able to be enabled in the software by Siemens Service. With the 1.31 software update, Volume Center Point monitoring will now be automatically enabled in the software. Short Calibrations Audio: Short calibration interval assays are assays that have a lot or pack calibration interval of less than 48 hours. Previously, the Calibration Due Warning setting was used as the calibration trigger for these type of assays. This caused these assays to be scheduled for automatic calibration hours before their calibration expired. Now this has been resolved and short calibration interval assays are scheduled for automatic order creation, for the corresponding lot or pack calibration, 1 hour before the calibration expires. Please note that there is no change to calibration automatic ordering for assays with calibration intervals greater than 48 hours. Short Calibration Interval Assays Short calibration interval assays Assays that have a lot or pack calibration interval of less than 48 hours Previous Issue: Previously, the Calibration Due Warning setting was used as the calibration trigger for short calibration interval assays. This caused short calibration interval assays to be scheduled for automatic calibration hours before their calibration expired. For example: ETOH and Amylase are short calibration assays that were impacted Improvement with 1.31: Short calibration interval assays are scheduled for automatic order creation, for the corresponding lot or pack calibration, 1 hour before the calibration expires The 1 hour time cannot be changed There is no change to calibration automatic ordering for assays with calibration intervals greater than 48 hours. Volume Center Point Monitoring Volume Center Point monitoring is replacing the Luminometer Base Check monitoring as part of IM Autocheck Benefits: Replaces the Luminometer Base Check test which is prone to false failures associated with acid and base lot variability More effective method for identifying acid and/or base leak faults Reduces Service visits for luminometer issues New system events will be posted when an issue is detected with acid or base dispense before it affects RLUs Reduces time to complete daily maintenance with the removal of Luminometer Base Check from IM Autocheck This feature was a service configurable option introduced in software version 1.30.1 Volume Center Point monitoring will now be automatically enabled with the 1.31 update Continue Continue Please review all tabs before proceeding to the next section. Operator Tablet Software The Atellica ASA operator tablet software is being replaced with new tablet software. The new operator tablet software: has more capabilities than the ASA software allows the operator tablet to be used as a secondary display for remote interactions with the system For more information on the features and use of the new tablet software, review this course on the Siemens Healthineers Academy: Atellica Solution Operator Tablet Software Video New Procedure – Reagent Blank Reagent blank is a new calibration type to accommodate colorimetric drift in the reagent which does not affect reactivity (response to analyte). This feature is currently only available for the Trig_2 assay Additional assays may include Reagent Blank capability in the future Select the numbered steps below to learn more about reagent blank. 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 5 5 Updated Procedure - Reagent Blank Main: Now let’s look at another new procedure. Reagent blank is a new calibration type to accommodate colorimetric drift in the reagent which does not affect reactivity. This feature is currently only available for the Trig 2 assay. Select the numbered steps below to learn more about the reagent blank. 1: To order a reagent blank test, on the Calibration Orders screen, under the “Type to Run” dropdown list, select Reagent Blank. This option is currently only available for the Trig 2 assay. If Trig 2 has been configured to use reagent blank calibrations, this option will be available if a valid calibration exists. The QC Master List settings determine if the calibration will be run with QC. 2: To configure automatic ordering for reagent blank, on the Test Definition screen, turn Automatic Calibration Ordering on and then enable the Automatically Order Reagent Blank checkbox. Automatic reagent blank orders will be triggered 24 hours past active calibration or pack puncture. A reagent blank calibration will be skipped if there is a pending pack calibration or reagent blank order for same pack and assay. Upon installation of the 1.31 software, if there is no scheduled calibration, the reagent blank will trigger immediately after the next PCC restart. 3: For the results of a reagent blank calibration, the C zero coefficient is computed from the performed calibration. All other coefficients are carried over from current active calibration.The calibration expiration is also carried over from current active calibration. 4: The Calibration Results screen will show both the latest pack calibration and the latest reagent blank as Active. Patient results generated after reagent blank calibration will reference the reagent blank as the calibration used. Reagent blank calibrations cannot be invalidated. 5: The Calibrations Due screen will not show reagent blank calibrations due today. If a reagent blank calibration is ordered with QC based on the QC Master List settings, and if the order cannot process - for example due to missing QC samples - then the Sample Interventions tile and Calibration Results screen would reflect this. Calibration Due Calibration Due screen will NOT show reagent blank calibrations due today If reagent blank is ordered with Cal w/QC based on the QC Master List settings, and if the order cannot process – for example due to missing QC samples – then the Sample Interventions tile and Cal Results screen would reflect this 5 Calibration Results The Calibration Results screen will show both the latest pack calibration and the latest reagent blank as Active Patient results generated after reagent blank calibration will reference the reagent blank as the calibration used The option to Invalidate is not supported 4 Click the image above to view the Calibration Results screen Results – Calibration Details On performing a Reagent Blank calibration: C0 coefficient is computed from the performed calibration All other coefficients are carried over from current active calibration Calibration expiration carried over from current active calibration 3 Click the image above to view the Calibration Details screen Automatic Ordering New Test Definition for Reagent Blank Default: Off Editable only if Automatic Calibration Ordering is turn on Automatic reagent blank orders will be triggered 24 hours past active calibration or pack puncture.

Select the tab arrows on the right to learn more about these items. IM Sample Probe Troubleshooting Audio: We are making improvements to help Siemens Service Engineers more quickly identify and resolve issues with the Atellica IM Sample Probe. As part of this effort, we’ve introduced a smart algorithm in the system to better pinpoint the cause of hardware errors. This helps reduce the time it takes to troubleshoot and fix problems. With the release of software version 1.31, we’re expanding this initiative to include new Operator Event codes. This first code specifically identifies Sample Probe issues caused by damaged or defective sample tips, making it easier for users to understand and address the issue.More algorithm based Operator Event codes are planned for future software updates to continue improving transparency and support. Direct Load Rack Events Audio: Previously, if a Direct Load rack was not processed, there was no alerting as to why the rack was not processed. With the version 1.31 software, there is now enhanced Direct Load rack event messaging to better identify why a rack was not processed. Supported Sample Containers Audio: New sample containers are now supported by the system, including several lithium heparin tubes as well as other types of tubes. Refer to the 1.31 Release Notes to review a list of the supported tubes and the modules that support each tube type. Supported Sample Containers New sample containers are now supported by the system.

Good to Know These items are good to know but do not impact your operator instructions. Select the tab arrows on the right to learn more about these items: LAS Communication LIS Code Non-Allowable Characters IM DML LIS Code LAS Communication Good to Know Base Audio: These are some more items that are good to know but do not impact operator instructions. Select the tab arrows on the right to learn more about these items. LAS Audio: The new software version includes some improvements to the precision of inventory values the Sample Handler Connect sends to the LAS. One improvement is that inventory for assays with test counts less than the reagent level step size are properly updated when the usable count changes from 0. Also, when an assay is removed or disabled, and then added or enabled, the test inventory is updated properly. LIS Audio: Previously, the LIS test code was incorrectly updated when a new reagent lot was scanned. This resulted in zero inventory available to the LAS because of the difference in the expected test code. With the 1.31 software, in the Test Definition screen, the LIS test code is no longer reset to default when a new reagent lot is scanned. Non Allowable Characters Audio: Previously, it was possible to save non-allowable characters in some data-entry fields which caused issues leading to errors or tests not processing. With the 1.31 software, the system will only save data-entry fields containing allowable characters to the database. When the operator enters a keystroke of a non-allowable character, no character displays in the field. IM DML Audio:With the previous software, under certain circumstances where numerous congruent activities are executing, the IM analyzer would disconnect from the PCC and display as OFF in System Status. Now with the new software, the system times congruent activities more efficiently, to minimize occurrence of the IM analyzer disconnecting from the PCC and displaying as OFF. IM DML Improvement Previous Issue: Under certain circumstances where numerous congruent activities are executing, the IM analyzer would disconnect from the PCC and display as OFF in System Status. Improvement with 1.31: The system times congruent activities more efficiently to minimize occurrence of the IM analyzer disconnecting from the PCC and displaying as OFF. Non-Allowable Characters Previous Issue: It was possible to save non-allowable characters in some data-entry fields (operator defined assays, dilution panel, etc.) which caused issues leading to errors or tests not processing. Improvement with 1.31: The system will only save data-entry fields containing allowable characters to the database. When the operator enters a keystroke of a non-allowable character, no character displays in the field. Continue Continue Please review all tabs before proceeding to the next section. LAS Communication Improvement Previous Issue: In certain cases, updates to test inventory were not being send to the LAS. Improvement with 1.31: Improved precision of inventory values the SHC sends to the LAS: Inventory for assays with test counts less than the reagent level step size are properly updated when the usable count changes from 0. When an assay is removed/disabled, then added/enabled, test inventory is updated properly. LIS Code Improvement Previous Issue: LIS test code was incorrectly updated when new lot was scanned. This resulted in zero inventory available to the LAS because of the difference in the expected test code. Improvement with 1.31: In the Test Definition screen, the LIS test code is no longer reset to default when a new reagent lot is scanned. ? Good to Know These items are good to know but do not impact your operator instructions. Select the tab arrows on the right to learn more about these items: Reagent Pack Venting Sort Groups VMM Connection to PCC Reagent Pack Venting Sort Groups VMM Connection to PCC Good to Know Base Audio: Here are some additional items that are good to know but do not impact operator instructions. Select the tab arrows on the right to learn more about these items. Reagent Pack Venting Audio: Previously, the system prematurely punctured CH reagent packs following an inventory rescan, resulting in multiple packs or wells of the same reagent being in-use. Now the system waits until the reagent scan completes before deciding if a pack/well requires puncture. Sort Group Audio: With this new version of software, the system will now not allow deleting a sort test that is associated with an assay in an active test order. On the Sample Handler and Sorting Configuration screen, if you try to delete a sort test with active orders, a message prompts you to either delete or move those orders to Historical. Deleted sort tests will no longer be added automatically to patient orders either manually created or via the LIS. VMM Connection Audio: With the 1.31 software, the communication between modules has been improved to successfully resume the VMM without requiring a PCC restart. VMM Connection to PCC Previous Issue: Resuming the Vessel Module Mover (VMM) from a "Stopped" state would occasionally result in an unexpected loss in communication to the system computer requiring a PCC restart. Improvement with 1.31: The communication between modules has been improved to successfully resume the VMM without requiring a PCC restart. Sort Group Improvements Previous Issues: The operator was able to delete sort tests that were associated with assays in active orders. Deleted sort tests were added to patient orders. These test orders would remain ‘In Process’ on the Worklist. Improvements with 1.31: On the SH & Sorting Configuration screen, if you try to delete a sort test with active orders, a message prompts you to either delete or move those orders to Historical. Deleted sort tests will no longer be added automatically to patient orders either manually created or via the LIS. Continue Continue Please review all tabs before proceeding to the next section. Reagent Pack Venting Previous Issue: The system prematurely punctured CH reagent packs following an inventory rescan, resulting in multiple packs or wells of the same reagent being in-use.

Select the tab arrows on the right to learn more about these items. IMT State Transition Fluidics Audio: In the previous software, the timing for the Standard A refresh cycles caused the IMT fluidics to fluctuate. In the new software, the steady state fluidics of the IMT module has been enhanced when transitioning from idle to active mode for more predictable performance. Sample Check Audio: Previously, IMT tests frequently flagged with IMT Sample Check when contrived samples were assessed, due to the nature of the sample and the sample integrity check for each IMT test when ordered as a patient sample. With the 1.31 software, IMT tests that trigger for sample integrity check now display the analyte result and abnormal reaction flag. IMT Sample Check Previous Issue: IMT tests frequently flagged with IMT Sample Check when contrived samples were assessed (such as proficiency / linearity materials), due to the nature of the sample and the sample integrity check for each IMT test when ordered as a patient sample.

Good to Know - Calibration These items are good to know but do not impact your operator instructions. Select the tab arrows on the right to learn more about these items: SH Calibrator Loading IM Result Calculations CH Reagent Packs SH Calibrator Loading IM Result Calculations CH Reagent Packs Good to Know - Calibration Base Audio: Here are some calibration updates that are good to know but do not impact operator instructions. Select the tab arrows on the right to learn more about these items. SH Calibrator Loading Audio: Previously, when multiple calibrations were ordered at the same time for assays using different calibrator definitions, materials were retrieved from storage based on stability, independent from calibrator definition "sets", causing a delay in processing. With the 1.31 software, the Sample Handler will now load calibrators as a set such that all calibrator levels and QC required to run with the calibrator will be loaded on the VMM sequentially to complete the order without issue. This ensures that the appropriate materials are available when calibrating multiple assays configured to perform QC with calibration. IM Result Calculations Audio: Previously, QC with calibration results with a status of Awaiting Acceptance were used to calculate patient results. With this new version of software, IM patient and QC results are calculated using the current, active calibration. CH Reagent Packs Audio: Previously, TDM assays using 3 reagents were falsely displaying as empty. With the 1.31 software, the system now utilizes TDM reagent packs appropriately. Sample Handler Calibrator Loading Previous Issue: When multiple calibrations were ordered at the same time for assays using different calibrator definitions, materials were retrieved from storage based on stability, independent from calibrator definition "sets", causing a delay in processing. Improvement with 1.31: SH will now load calibrators as a “set” such that all calibrator levels and QC required to run with the calibrator will be loaded on the VMM sequentially to complete the order without issue. Ensures that the appropriate materials are available when calibrating multiple tests configured to perform QC with calibration. CH Reagent Packs Previous Issue: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) assays using 3 reagents were falsely displaying as empty. Improvement with 1.31: The system utilizes tests in TDM reagent packs appropriately. The system will discard tests when: OBS expired Reagent lot expired A calibration is scheduled/ordered and there are insufficient tests remaining in the pack well to complete calibration / calibration with QC TDM assays using 3 reagents: Carb, Gent, LIDO, NAPA, PROC, Phnb, Phny, TACR, Theo, Tob, UAlb, VPA, Vanc Continue Continue Please review all tabs before proceeding to the next section.

Good to Know – QC Statistics There are several Good to Know items related to the QC Statistics feature. Select the tab arrows on the right to learn more about these items: QC Severity Display Saved Changes on Rule-Based Screen Selecting Panels CH Assay Error Results Saved Changes on Rule-Based Screen QC Severity Display Selecting Panels CH Assay Error Results Good to Know - QC Statistics Base Audio: There are several Good to Know items related to QC Statistics. Select the tab arrows on the right to learn more about these items. QC Severity Audio: In the previous software, QC severities were incorrectly displayed when View by Assay was selected. With the new software, QC severity by color is properly indicated when moving between ‘Control’ and ‘Test’ display in the Review screen. Rule Based Screen Audio: Previously, saved changes in the Rule Based setup screen were not displayed after closing and reopening the QC Statistics screen. This has now been fixed, and changes are displayed correctly. Selecting Panels Audio: In the previous software, there was inconsistency with the automatically selected tests in QC Statistics when a panel was selected. Even though results were available for certain tests, they were not automatically selected when the panel was selected. Now with the 1.31 software, all tests in a QC panel are displayed as expected when the panel is selected. CH Assay Error Results Audio: Previously, there was an issue in which QC Statistics files were automatically closing when an error result was received for a CH assay. This issue has been fixed with the new software. CH Assay Error Results Previous Issue: QC Statistics files would automatically close when an ERROR result was received for a CH assay. Messaging incorrectly indicated a change in the reporting unit. Improvement with 1.31: QC Statistics files do not automatically close when an ERROR result is received for a CH assay. Selecting Panels Previous Issue: Inconsistency in automatically selecting tests in QC Statistics when a panel was selected. Even though results were available for certain tests, they were not automatically selected when the panel was selected. This was due to a QC definition included in the QC Panel with a leading or trailing space in the QC definition Material Name. Improvement with 1.30.1: All tests in a QC Panel are displayed as expected when the panel is selected. A message now displays when creating a QC Definition if the QC Material name has leading or trailing spaces. Saved Changes on Rule-Based Screen Previous Issue: Saved changes in the Setup > Rule-Based screen were not displayed after closing and re-opening the QC Statistics screen. Issue was associated with the display only; configurations were saved in the database. Improvement with 1.31: Changes in the Rule-Based screen of QC Statistics are displayed correctly after closing and reopening the QC Statistics screen. Continue Continue Please review all tabs before proceeding to the next section. QC Severity Display Previous Issue: QC severities were incorrectly displayed when View by Assay was selected.
