NOTE: Reagent vessels (including water rinse vessels) should be inspected at periodic intervals to ensure the integrity and cleanliness
of the vessels. If cleaning solutions are used, rinse vessels with adequate water to remove any residual cleaning solutions prior to use.
Clean the vessels in accordance with the instructions provided in the HistoCore SPECTRA ST Instructions for Use.
NOTE: The HistoCore SPECTRA ST Reagent Management System (RMS) tracks the number of slides that have utilized a specific station.
However, for the ancillary reagents that have been rotated, the RMS will no longer capture the total number of slides that have
utilized that specific ancillary reagent. For more information please refer to the SPECTRA ST Instructions for Use.
