Performing Osmoscan

Start software

In case of starting Osmoscan measurements after other tests: Perform a prime step with corresponding PVP first:

1. Check that all tubes are connected correctly to the high PVP, low PVP, water and waste bottles
2. Select "Hardware check" and "LoRRca IO".
3. Place a sample tube with basic PVP (QRR 030901) on needle position.
4. Move the sample needle to the bottom of the tube.
5. Select the "Prime all" button.
   Check that both low and high osmolar PVP are pumped, indicated by different click-noises, moving air-fluid meniscus (eventually after the introduction of an air bubble).
   Check the sample feeding through the needle after introduction of an air bubble.
   In case of a problem check whether all tubing and connections have a free passage and are not folded or clogged.
6. Remove (priming) tube from the needle position.
7. Return to main screen

In case of starting the day with Osmoscan: Prepare a blood sample Osmoscan.
