Introduction

The VP 2000 is used to automate and standardize slide

specimen processing including deparaffinization, FISH

pretreatment and routing slide staining for the laboratory. The

unit is used with the pre programmed protocols provided with

the VP 2000 Processor or can be programmed to perform

routine histology/cytology slide staining or routine slide

washing according to user requirements. The purpose of the

unit is to automate much of the procedure and to produce

more consistent results in application of a stain. Several

different staining processes are used routinely, and the

application of a particular stain requires treating the specimen

on the slide with a variety of reagent for varying periods of

time.

Biosafety Procedures

Use appropriate biosafety practices when handling specimens,

reagents, and contaminated instruments. Refer to Section 2,

Safety for more information.

• Consider all clinical specimens, reagents, controls, and

calibrators that contain human-sourced material and

instrument surfaces or components that have come in

contact with human-sourced material as potentially

infectious. Wear gloves, lab coats, and safety glasses, and

follow other biosafety practices as specified in the OSHA

Bloodborne Pathogens Standard 29 CFR 1910.1030, or

other equivalent biosafety procedures.

• The probes are sharp and potentially contaminated with

infectious materials. Avoid contact with tips (DiTis) of the

probes.

• Dispose of all clinical specimens, reagents, controls,

calibrators, standards (as appropriate), cuvettes, (DiTis)

and other disposables that may be contaminated, in

accordance with local, state, and federal regulations

governing the treatment of regulated medical waste.

Sharps

Sharps, such as contaminated probes, must be placed in an

appropriately marked, puncture-resistant container prior to

treatment and disposal.

Spills

Clean spills of potentially infectious materials and

contaminated instrument components with an appropriate

disinfectant, such as 0.5% sodium hypochlorite, or other

suitable disinfectant.

Introduction

x Abbott VP 2000™ Procesor Service Manual

30-608308/R1—September 2008

Operators exposed to biohazardous or potentially infectious

materials should take steps immediately to cleanse the affected

area, as follows:

• Eyes—rinse with water for 15 minutes.

• Mouth—rinse with water.

• Skin—wash the affected area with soap and water.

• Puncture wound—allow to bleed freely. Wash the

affected area with soap and water.

• In all cases, seek medical attention immediately.

CAUTION: Personal Injury Risk. Take care to avoid

injury when using sharp tools.

• Do not direct tool points, such as the blade of a

screw driver, toward the face, body, or hands.

• If cutting of tubing, etc., is required, NEVER cut in

the direction of the face, body, or hands.

Chemical Hazards

Operators may be exposed to hazardous chemicals when

handling reagents, calibrators, controls, or bulk solutions.

Exposure to hazardous chemicals is minimized by following

the instructions provided in the assay-specific package inserts

and product-specific Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

Exposure levels are further reduced by the “hands-off” design

features of the instrument when it is used properly.

In general, observe the following precautions when handling

chemicals:

• Consult Material Safety Data Sheets for safe use

instructions and precautions.

• Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact with material

is anticipated, wear impervious gloves and protective

eyewear and clothing.

• Always maintain good housekeeping. Do not eat, drink, or

store food and beverages in areas where chemicals are

used.

• If irritation or signs of toxicity occur after exposure, seek

medical attention.
