General Warnings

DANGER! All biological fluids should be considered as potentially infectious.

Protective gloves must be worn when manipulating blood, products

derived from blood or objects contaminated with blood.

Qualified laboratory personnel should use acceptable procedures for

biohazardous material.

WARNING! The configuration that you have purchased is adapted to the legislation

and standards of the different countries it will be sent to.
For this reason, it may differ from the one presented in this document.
However it will not prevent mini VIDAS from operating correctly.

This product is an in vitro diagnostic medical device. It complies with the
directives and standards mentioned in the certificate supplied with it.

IMPORTANT ! Read this manual carefully to obtain optimum performance from your

mini VIDAS.

bioMérieux SA recommends that you observe the different warnings
inscribed on the instrument itself and indicated in the documentation
supplied.

The accuracy of results obtained with this instrument depends, in
particular, on the maintenance operations described in this manual.
The user should be aware that, if the maintenance operations are not
performed, are only partially performed, or are not performed as described
in this manual, bioMérieux SA is in no case liable for any false test results
obtained.

1 How to use this manual

Introduction

The mini VIDAS Procedures Manual is a complete guide for the mini VIDAS.
It includes the information you need to:

− Install and set up the instrument,

− Operate the hardware and software portions of the mini VIDAS,

− Obtain and interpret reports,

− Identify and correct some of the errors that may occur.

As you become more familiar with the easy-to-use procedures of the
mini VIDAS, you will find that this manual becomes more a reference than a
companion guide.

It has, however, been organized to both guide new users through their first
experiences with the mini VIDAS, and also to serve the more experienced
users who may need occasional help.

Finding topics or procedures

∗ To help you find the information you want, this manual is divided into 10

chapters.
The first 7 contain the topics and procedures.

Chapter 8 includes the Appendices.
Chapter 9 is the Glossary of technical terms.
Chapter 10 is the Index.

Page Headers

The main table of contents for the manual is located on pages V-1 to V-7
It lists each chapter and the procedures within each chapter.

Pages VI-1 to VI-2 contains a list of the figures in the manual.

Different types of warnings are used throughout the manual:

— for safety reasons (DANGER!),

— to ensure that the instruments are maintained in good working condition

(CAUTION!),

— for regulatory reasons (WARNING!) or,

— for optimum performance of operations, procedures, etc. (IMPORTANT!).

Every chapter containing procedures begins with a mini table of contents
specifically for the chapter.

Apart from the first page of every chapter, each page of the manual includes a
page header and a footer.
Each page header includes the chapter title and the title of a procedure or its
corresponding description.
These titles are located on the outside of the page so that you can thumb
through the pages to quickly locate a chapter or a procedure.
The footers contain the title of the manual, the name of the product and the
page number.

labels

This manual contains a certain number of notes that are used to emphasize a
procedure or certain information.

The glossary is located in chapter 9 of the manual. It gives the definition of the
main technical terms used in the manual.

The index is located in chapter 10 at the back of the manual. It is used to locate
a particular description or procedure.

One of these labels is stuck on the instrument to certify that it has been properly
decontaminated:

− before any operations by a service technician,

− before it is returned to the factory, if necessary.

This icon is used to indicate specific information concerning the mini VIDAS
instrument called «mini VIDAS blue» in the manual.

Unless otherwise specified, the information in the manual applies to the
mini VIDAS, whichever model is used.

Typographic conventions

Typographic conventions

∗ Following are the terms and visual cues used in this manual to aid in your

understanding of the procedures.

• Press

INSTALL

Reading

A bullet point is used to denote an action to be performed.

This typography is used for messages that appear on the screen
(except error messages which appear in bold type).

This typography is used to represent selection keys, e.g

• Select [Utility Menu].

The mini VIDAS keypad

There are 24 keys on the mini VIDAS keypad. They are divided among four
groups, according to their function:

Number keys

Function keys

A standard set of digits, as you would find on a calculator.
When referring to these keys, we use their general name enclosed in angle

brackets «< >» : <Number key>.
Three keys with specially programmed functions.
In procedures, these keys are referred to by their individual names, enclosed in

angle brackets «< >«.

• Press <Previous Screen> to return to the menu.

Note: Detailed descriptions of these function keys are in Chapter 2 on page 2-7.

Arrow keys

1-4 mini VIDAS

Four keys used to move the cursor on the screen.
The arrow keys are referenced by their direction, enclosed in angle brackets

«< >» : <↑>, <↓>, <←> and <→>.

The mini VIDAS keypad

Selection keys

Five keys used to select options from the screen.
The selection keys are used most often when the instrument is running.
An operation involving a selection key always begins with «Select». For other
operations, the word «Press» is used.

The use of a selection key is always associated with a selection option
displayed on the screen. The name of the option appears in parentheses.
A selection referenced specifically by name appears in parentheses and in bold
type.
E.g.

• Select [Utility Menu] in the Main Menu.
