Figure 6-3: Pipette Tips Status
As the disposables are used, the bar graphs begin to decrease. The graphs
are marked to show levels of ¼, ½, and ¾ capacity. The number associated
with the graph (156, in this example) decreases at the same time. When the
number goes under 40, the value changes to Low.
Note: For pipette tips, the number refers to the number of available tips. For saline,
the number refers to the available number of aliquots.
CAUTION: The disposable monitors should be used as an
approximate indicator. Care should be used to prevent running
out of either disposable during test card processing.
