• Messages. This status indicates that there is an error message in the
error/message queue that has not been viewed. Press the Help (?) key to
view the error/message queue.
• Errors. This status appears after
the error/message queue is accessed if
the error condition has not been resolved. This status can be cleared only
by resolving the condition that generated the original message.
• Cleaning. This status indicates that either all four boats, or at least one
carousel section, have been removed for cleaning. Test card processing
cannot resume unless all carousel sections, or at least one boat, are
replaced.
Non Standard Card Reading Mode
A large X will be displayed over the Status screen when the instrument is
configured in a Non Standard Card Reading mode. Non Standard Card
Reading mode is for diagnostic troubleshooting by trained bioMeriéux Field
Service Engineers only. If the instrument is configured in a Non Standard
Card Reading Mode, do not process any cards and contact bioMeriéux
immediately.

Card Capacity
The MAX Available Slots field (2, Figure 6-1) indicates the number of
unoccupied slots in the instrument. You can load one or more cassettes
containing up to that number of test cards. If you load more than that number,
some of the test cards will not be processed unless additional slots become
available by the time the test cards reach the carousel.
