Safety Instructions

WARNING: Potential Biohazard. All clinical

specimens that contain human-sourced material,

should be considered potentially infectious. Handle all

potentially infectious materials in accordance with the

OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration)

Standard on Bloodborne Pathogens. Biosafety Level 2

or other appropriate biosafety practices should be used

for materials that contain or are suspected of

containing infectious agents.

Running a Protocol

Heated Basin LED States

The LED indicators located below each heated basin are

intended to give an indication of the current operational

status of the heating device associated with an individual

basin. For all VP 2000 systems the following LED states may be

observed:

Table 5.1:

Status LED States: All VP 2000 Models

LED State Description

Off The basin heater is off.

Steady ON

The basin heater is in the ON-OFF cycle,

which allows the basin to be maintained

within the temperature band around the

set-point temperature (set-point ±3°C). If the

initial basin temperature is above the

programmed set-point temperature, the LED

will still be Steady ON even though the basin

heater is actually paused, waiting for the

basin to cool down to the programmed

temperature range.

On VP 2000 slide processors or heating modules with serial

numbers 32000 or greater, the following additional LED states

may be observed, representing two fault conditions of the

heating module:

Table 5.2:

Status LED Fault Conditions for Select Models

(Serial number 32000 and higher)

Flashing

The LED will have a steady flash rate

(approximately 1 second ON and 1 second

OFF) when the basin is being heated up to its

programmed set-point temperature. When

the basin temperature reaches 2°C below the

set-point temperature, the LED will change to

Steady ON, indicating that the control system

is now maintaining temperature within the

programmed temperature range.

LED State Description

Rapid

flashing

If a basin heater is stuck on when it should be

turned off, the LED will have a rapid flash rate

(approximately ¾ of a second ON and a ¼

second OFF). If this occurs, the VP 2000

processor should be immediately powered

down and a Field Service Representative

contacted for assistance.

Slow

flashing

If a fault with the basin temperature sensor is

detected, the LED will have a slow flash rate

(approximately 2 seconds ON and 4 seconds

OFF). If this occurs, the basin heater will be

turned off automatically. If slow flashing is

observed, the VP2000 processor should be

powered down and a Field Service

Representative should be contacted for

assistance.
