Select the tab arrows on the right to learn more about these. IM Test Definition Updates Audio: When you install the new software, be aware that both the Calibration Observed Ranges feature and the Accept Cal feature will be disabled for IM calibrations. If you would like to continue using these features, enable Calibration Observed Ranges in Calibration Setup and select Accept Cal in the individual ass-say Test Definition. If Observed Ranges are left turned off, your system will only use the Defined Ranges as part of calibration result evaluation. For more information on Calibration Observed Ranges and Accept Cal, refer to the IM Calibration Troubleshooting Online Training or to the information available in Online Help. Also with this new software version, there is a new configuration setting that allows you to enable or disable the Extend Cal feature. If this setting is disabled, the Extend Cal option will not be available on the Cal Due screen. With these changes, be sure to review your lab’s SOP for calibration acceptance. Scanning Definition Barcodes Audio: The system now allows for both CH calibrator definitions and IM QC definitions to be entered by scanning the barcodes. Archiving Tube Top Sample Cups Audio: Samples in tube-top cups can now be archived on the Sample Handler. Samples in tube-top sample cups can be archived to routine racks in Archive zone, but cannot be archived to a dedicated archive rack. If you see that a tube-top sample cup has a Waiting to Archive status, as shown in this example, check to see if a routine rack needs to be loaded into an Archive zone. Rack Configuration Audio: With the new software, CI analyzers allow configuring a specific supported container type per rack color. Rack Configuration For Rack Handler configurations, CI Analyzers now allow configuring a specific supported container type per rack color. The system does not recognize capped sample containers in these specific container type racks. The operator must remove caps from sample containers before loading the containers in racks or probe damage may occur. IM Test Definitions Note: Select the X at the top of the page to return back to the course. When you install the new software, these features will now be disabled for IM calibrations: Calibration Observed Ranges Accept Cal If you would like to continue using these features, enable Calibration Observed Ranges in Calibration Setup and select Accept Cal in the individual assay Test Definition. If Observed Ranges are turned off, your system will only use the Defined Ranges as part of calibration result evaluation. Also with this new software, there is a new configuration setting that allows you to enable/disable the Extend Cal feature. If this setting is disabled, the Extend Cal option will not be available on the Cal Due screen. With these changes, be sure to review your lab’s SOP for calibration acceptance.

Improved Error Recovery Update Audio: The resume button can now be used to home the CH dilution arm and IM sample arm if either are halted due to repeated mechanical failures. Continue Continue Please review all tabs before proceeding to the next section. The resume button can now be used to home the CH dilution arm and IM sample arm if either are halted due to repeated mechanical failures. In the Operator Event Log, you may see events associated with the loss of capability of the CH dilution arm or IM sample arm. You can select resume to home the arms if the system is in Processing, Ready, and Standby states. Improved Error Recovery The System Display Optimization activity has been improved to increase overall screen response. This is part of automated daily maintenance, and can also be performed as needed when screen response time slows. The optimization activity will take less than 60 seconds. Once the activity completes, to return to the main software, login at the sign in display. System Display Optimization Update Updated Procedures and Features In this new release there is a CH Test Definition update for Atellica Revised C-Reactive Protein (RCRP). NOTE: Be sure to download and review the latest version of the CH Test Definition Enhancements document from the Document Library. Select the tab arrows on the right to learn more about the RCRP update: Overview of update to RCRP calculation Requirement to calibrate RCRP/R_CRP ? Update to RCRP Calculation RCRP/R_CRP Calibration Updated Procedures and Features Main Layer Audio: In this new release there is a CH Test Definition update for Atellica Revised C-Reactive Protein. This is the major change with the new CH Test Definitions, but there may be other updates that your lab should be aware of. Be sure to download and review the CH Test Definition Enhancements document to understand all the updates. Select the tab arrows on the right to learn more about the RCRP update. RCRP Calculation Audio: In previous software, the system displayed a No Calculation flag for RCRP when results were outside the reportable range and for other reasons. RCRP generated a value within the measuring interval but flagged it as greater than the measuring interval. With the new software, the system displays the expected measurement interval flag. When RCRP values are within the measuring interval, no flag displays. Therefore, the No Calculation flag no longer automatically means outside measuring interval. If you get a No Calculation flag, you need to investigate because an issue happened that caused the system to not be able to calculate a result. Calibration Audio: After updating your software to this new version, you need to invalidate existing active RCRP calibrations and then perform a new lot calibration in order to activate the assay’s improvements with the new software. Continue Continue Please review all tabs before proceeding to the next section. RCRP Calculation Update Previous Issue: The system displayed a No Calculation flag for RCRP when results were outside the reportable range and for other reasons. RCRP generated a value within the measuring interval but flagged it as > Measuring Interval. Improvement with 1.30.52: The system displays the expected measurement interval flag. When RCRP values are within the measuring interval, no flag displays. The No Calculation flag no longer automatically means outside measuring interval. If you get a No Calculation flag, you need to investigate because an issue happened that caused the system to not be able to calculate a result. Note: Select the X at the top of the page to return back to the course. Calibrate RCRP/R_CRP Calibration of the RCRP/R_CRP assay is required to activate the version 1.30.52 improvements.

Display Changes For QC Parallel Lab Evaluations studies on IMT assays, the system now reports results without the No Primary error flag. When creating QC Parallel Lab Evaluations studies, scroll bars display for assay selection. QC Parallel Lab Evaluations Replacing the CH Source Lamp Updated messaging more clearly identifies why CH source lamp replacement is required when photometer configuration is incomplete. The system now correctly displays the calibration status on the Calibration Results screen. Cal Status Display Changes On this slide we will discuss display changes. In this version, for QC Parallel Lab Evaluations studies on IMT assays, the system now reports results without the No Primary error flag. Also, when creating QC Parallel Lab Evaluations studies, scroll bars display for assay selection. The software also now has updated messaging that more clearly identifies why CH source lamp replacement is required when photometer configuration is incomplete. And while previously the Calibration Results screen would incorrectly display the calibration status of an assay as Processing, with the new software, the system will now correctly display the calibration status. ? Display Changes Maintenance activity duration times reflect the correct time. Maintenance Activities Patient Orders Screen The Patient Orders screen now displays the correct list of Active / Inactive assays. Completed tests will now consistently display with the correct status. Worklist Screen Display Changes Here we will discuss a few additional display changes. With this software version, the maintenance activity duration times will reflect the correct time. Also, the Patient Orders screen how displays the correct list of Active and Inactive assays.

Maintenance Improvement Audio: In the previous software, after selecting Stop, the system did not transition to a Maintenance state when a maintenance activity was due and sample processing completed. With the new software, now the system consistently transitions to a Maintenance state when a maintenance activity is due and sample processing is complete. QC with Calibration Improvement Audio: In previous software, when processing QC with calibration for multiple assays using the same QC material, the system intermittently stalled in the Processing state. With the 1.30.52 software version, performing QC with calibration for multiple assays using the same QC material completes as expected. IMT Supplies Improvement Audio: There had been a previous issue in which the operator could not replace IMT supplies because a message indicated that IMT activities were in progress when the system was in a ready state and no IMT calibration was processing. Now, if an IMT activity is currently processing, a new message directs the operator to wait until the activity completes before proceeding with IMT maintenance. The system waits until any IMT activities are complete before entering maintenance and primes the IMT subsystem after the operator replaces an IMT consumable during maintenance activities. Maintenance Improvement Previous Issue: After selecting Stop, the system did not transition to a Maintenance state when a maintenance activity was due and sample processing completed.
