Cedex Bio analyzer 2 Introduction to the analyzer
Maintenance
Result flags help you identify critical results and point to possible actions that need to
be taken.
Each test must have accepted calibration results; tests whose associated calibration
results are not accepted cannot be performed.
Ratio results The user can manually define ratios. Ratio results are handled like any other sample
result, with the exception that they cannot be accepted by the user. They are
automatically accepted if all their constituent results are accepted.
Repeating and rerunning tests If a result is flagged, you may decide to run a test again. You can either perform
exactly the same test (Repeat) or perform it with a different predefined dilution
(Rerun).
Storing results The Cedex Bio analyzer is designed to hold the sample results of one day’s analyzing.
We recommend that you back up data regularly to an external medium. (Backing up
results is an integral part of the End Shift wizard.)
The QC results of the previous and the current months are stored on the system.
Up to five calibration results are stored on the system for each test.
Maintenance
Completing maintenance actions correctly and on time helps to ensure smooth and
uninterrupted operation of your analyzer.
Maintenance scheduling The Cedex Bio analyzer facilitates performing the maintenance actions in bundles at
the times that suit your laboratory work processes. To that purpose, you can define in
the configuration settings one day of the week as your maintenance day.

For information on scheduling maintenance actions, see Scheduling maintenance actions
on page B-168.
All maintenance actions can be performed any time.
Interval For most maintenance actions a fixed maintenance interval is defined. (You cannot
change this interval.) This is the basis upon which the system calculates the date when
the actions need to be performed.
The interval timers and counters are reset whenever you confirm that the
maintenance action has been performed.
Maintenance actions without predefined intervals are performed whenever
necessary, or they are triggered by another maintenance action.
Due date The due date is the last possible maintenance day. This is the date you see when you
check the status of maintenance actions.
Ensuring smooth operation Performing all due maintenance actions during the daily Prepare or End Shift phase
ensures that routine operation does not have to be interrupted for performing
maintenance actions.
