cobas pro Day 5 review

How can the user increase priority of a routine rack within the software?

• The priority of a loaded rack cannot be increased

• Under Routine > Result the user can increase the priority of a rack for a given sample

• Under Routine > Order Tests the user can increase the priority of a rack for a given sample

• Under Sample Status > Sample Tracking the user can increase the priority of a rack for a given sample

A STAT rack is loaded. Which of the following statements are correct?

Choose all that apply.

• The rack is processed with high priority

• The rack overtakes routine racks waiting in the sample buffer

• The rack overtakes racks standing in the processing line of the analytical unit

The users want to replicate an order for the same sample in barcode mode. What do they have to do?

• Under Routine > Order Test: Repeat, activate "Replicate Measurement" from the same cup

• Under Menu > Settings select "Sample Tube Handling"

• The users cannot perform replicates from the same cup on the cobas pro because this functionality is only used for non IVD analyzers

• Replicates from the same cup is not an option in barcode mode. The users have to use non-barcode mode

The user wants to repeat the same order on 4 different samples in barcode mode. What is to be considered?

• Under Routine > Order Test: Repeat activate "Replicate Measurement" from the same cup

• Under Menu > Settings select "Sample Tube Handling"

• Repeat order from different cup is not an option in barcode mode

Under Settings > System > Analyzer the administrator can activate "Mask Expired Reagents and Electrodes". To which reagents does it apply?

Choose all that apply.

• Assay reagents

• Reagent and electrode OBS

• ISE reagents

• ProCell II M

• Linked pretreatment reagents

What does the flashing reagent loader button of the reagent manager of the cobas c 503 analytical unit mean?

• Reagent loader button was pressed. Reagent packs are unloaded and/or reagent loader prepares for reagent pack loading

• Reagent packs can be loaded

• The user has 120 seconds to load reagent packs

• 30 seconds left to load reagents

What needs to be considered if cobas e pack green are unloaded after use from the cobas e 801 analytical unit?

Choose all that apply.

• Unloaded reagent packs need to be specifically registered when the user intends to load them to a different cobas® pro integrated solutions analyzer at a later time

• While stored outside the cobas e 801 analytical unit reagents have to be stored according to the respective Method Sheet

• A cobas e pack green which was unloaded cannot be reloaded when the OBS at the time of loading is expired

• Caps of the unloaded cobas e packs green have to be fully closed before storage

• Once registered in the cobas® pro integrated solutions/system the reagent must stay on board and cannot be unlaoded for intermediate storage e.g. in the fridge

Which calibration principles are implemented in the cobas c 503 analytical unit?

Choose all that apply.

• Automatic lot change calibration (AutoCal)

• One calibration for two successive lots of the same reagent (Duo Cal)

• One calibration serves all tests, all reagent packs and all lots (OmniCal)

• Calibration from one master ACN can be copied to additional applications (ACNs) using the same reagent pack (CopyCal)

• Readjustment of all photometric tests (BlankCal)

The user wants to use non-Roche calibrators for a Roche application. How can he do so?

• This is not possible. Non-Roche calibrators are only applicable for non Roche applications

• Under Calibration > Install non-Roche calibrators can be added and while doing so the user has to define whether the calibrator is used for Roche or non-Roche applications

• It is not necessary to create non-Roche calibrators. Roche calibrators can be used instead for Roche and non-Roche applications as long as the test parameter is the same

• The cobas pro only supports Roche controls. The user cannot use non-Roche controls on the cobas pro

How many hours after the system has not been in operation mode will the system trigger the self-operating maintenance action "ISE reagent prime"?

• 1 hour

• 5 hours

• 10 hours

• 24 hours

• 72 hours
