1 Make sure all drawers are closed. Select the maintenance soft key.
2 Select the test indicators soft key.
3 Select the test drawer indicators soft key. All three external lamps on all drawers should light, as well as the instrument alarm indicator.
4 Open drawer A. Soft key definitions now change to allow testing station status LEDs.
5 Select the test green LEDs soft key. All the green LEDs at all the stations should light. If any does not, block those station(s). Select the test green LEDs soft key again to extinguish the green LEDs.
6 Select the test red LEDs soft key. All the red LEDs at all the stations should light. If any does not, block those station(s). Select the test red LEDs soft key again to extinguish the red LEDs.
7 Repeat the tests of red and green station status LEDs for drawers B and C (MGIT 960 only).
Check printer paper
• Add paper if needed.
Check temperatures
• Check the thermometer reading of the Temperature QC tube. If your manual readings are within +1.0/-2.0 °C of 37 °C, the controller and heaters are operating within the expected range. From the main status screen, select the temperature soft key to access drawer temperature readings. Verify that the temperature is currently within 1.5 °C of the manual reading for each of the drawers.

Entering new MGIT tubes 1 Take the new MGIT tubes to the instrument. Open the desired drawer. Select the tube entry soft key (left).
2 Scan the tube’s barcode label.
If Accession Barcoding is enabled, first the leftmost icon at left appears. Scan the tube barcode sequence number. Next, the middle icon at left appears. Scan the accession barcode. If an accession barcode is not available, select the accession barcode not available soft key (rightmost icon at left).
3 The assigned station is shown in the main body of the display. In addition, the station LEDs of the assigned station illuminates GREEN. Carefully insert the tube into the station.
4 Repeat Steps 2–3 for each of the new cultures you want to enter.
Entering new AST tubes 1 Take the AST tube sets to the instrument using the AST tube rack. Open the desired drawer. Select the tube entry soft key.
2 Scan the AST carrier’s barcode label.
If Accession Barcoding is enabled, the system expects an accession barcode to be scanned after the AST carrier barcode. Scan the accession barcode if it is available. If it is not available, select the accession barcode not available soft key.
3 To change the AST set definition, select the change AST set definition soft key. Use the ▲ or ▼ key to scroll through the available definitions for the scanned carrier size. (As you scroll, the default set is indicated by a check mark in the main body of the display.)
4 To change the isolate number, select the isolate number soft key. Use the ▲ key to increase or the ▼ key to decrease the isolate number.
5 The assigned stations of the set are shown in the main body of the display. In addition, the station LEDs of all the assigned stations for the set illuminate GREEN. Carefully insert the tube set into the indicated stations. Make sure the Growth Control tube is leftmost of the tube set.
6 Repeat Steps 2–5 for each of the AST sets you want to enter.

Removing Tubes
To remove positive tubes:
1 Open the desired drawer. Select the remove positive tubes soft key (left).
2 All the positive stations illuminate with FLASHING GREEN, FLASHING RED indicators. Remove one of the positive tubes and scan its barcode label. The LEDs at this station extinguish. Repeat to remove additional positive tubes.
To remove negative tubes:

2 All the final negative stations illuminate with FLASHING GREEN indicators.
3 To remove all negative tubes (batch removal), select the remove negatives – batch soft key (left). Remove all the tubes in the indicated stations. The barcode scanner turns off, so you cannot scan any of the tube barcode labels. Do not close the drawer until you have removed all the tubes in the FLASHING GREEN stations. When all negative tubes are removed, select the OK soft key.
To remove negative tubes one at a time, remove the desired tubes and scan their barcode labels. Continue to remove and scan all the desired individual negative tubes.
To remove completed AST sets:
1 Open the desired drawer. Select the remove completed AST sets soft key.
2 The first completed AST set stations illuminate with FLASHING GREEN indicators. Remove the carrier and scan its barcode label. The LEDs at this station extinguish. Repeat to remove additional AST sets.
