Tables with warning threshold values
The RMS system – adjusting warning threshold values
(continued)
The tables in this section list the recommended limits/warning threshold values for common
reagents approved for the ASP6025.
The warning threshold values recommended here must be used only in combination with the
preinstalled processing protocols. For other processing protocols created by the user, corresponding
threshold values have to be determined by the lab itself.
The warning threshold values in the following tables can be used as initial values for instrument
setup. These are to be used according to the preinstalled protocols by entering them into the
SET UP REAGENTS & WARNING VALUES menu.
5. Operation
These warning threshold values are set to 55 % at the factory. However, the user
can freely select between 50 % and 60 % as needed.
Autorotation protocols
Reagent recommended replacement
Formalin after 600 cassettes
Water after 1200 cassettes
70 % ethanol - threshold value 55 %
1 xylene after 1500 cassettes
1 paraffin after 1800 cassettes
Cleaning xylene after 6 cycles
Cleaning alcohol after 6 cycles
These warning threshold values must be validated before use, i.e. tissue pro-
cessing with patient tissue for diagnostics, by the laboratory itself according to
the local or regional accreditation requirements.
