INTRODUCTION

PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT

This document provides an authorized trainer with corporately accepted training materials

for instructing a new Operator in the correct use and operation of a COULTER AC•T 5diff

Autoloader (AL) hematology analyzer.

TRAINING RESPONSIBILITIES

Beckman Coulter’s Responsibility

Beckman Coulter is responsible for instructing a Key Operator in the correct use and

operation of the AC•T 5diff AL hematology analyzer.

Our goal is to provide your laboratory with high quality training that best fits your

laboratory’s needs. This means the emphasis given to each topic in this Training Guide may

differ, with some topics needing to be covered more thoroughly than others.

Key Operator’s Responsibility

It is the Key Operator’s responsibility to train all other Operators in the laboratory. Once

trained by an authorized Beckman Coulter trainer, the Key Operator is authorized to use and

make copies of any of the material in this Training Guide as needed for training other

laboratory personnel.

INSTRUMENT DOCUMENTATION

The Training Guide is part of a document set provided with your instrument. The Training

Guide references the following documents whenever appropriate, to help the trainee become

familiar with their contents and to use them as needed.

r Instructions for Use, PN 4277367, provides information about the function of the AC•T

5diff AL instrument and describes how to:

t Get started using the instrument.

t Operate the instrument safely.

t Run controls and samples.

t Review results.

t Do special maintenance procedures, such as cleaning, replacing, or adjusting an

instrument component.

t Troubleshoot problems.

t Power down and power up the instrument.

t Customize the instrument’s setup.

The Instructions for Use is accessed using the AC•T 5diff AL Online Help system. The

printed version is by order. Contact your Beckman Coulter Representative if you want to

order a printed copy of this manual.

PN 177196BB

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THIS TRAINING GUIDE

r Host Transmission Specification, PN 4277065, defines the information needed to

program the transmission interface between the AC•T 5diff AL hematology analyzer and

your laboratory’s host computer. The printed version is available by order. Contact your

Beckman Coulter Representative if you want to order a printed copy of this manual.

ABOUT THIS TRAINING GUIDE

Scope

This training guide is designed to support AC•T 5diff AL hematology analyzer training. It

provides the trainer with the opportunity to customize the training experience to best fit the

individual trainee and laboratory. Since trainee experience levels and laboratory needs differ,

this training outline is designed with flexibility in mind.

Topics

The materials in this guide support the training of eight main topics:

r Topic 1 Getting to Know Your Instrument

r Topic 2 Startup/Shutdown

r Topic 3 Set Up Options

r Topic 4 Quality Assurance

r Topic 5 Calibration

r Topic 6 Sample Analysis

r Topic 7 Data Management and Review

r Topic 8 System Diagnostics and Maintenance

Each main topic is further divided into several related topics (subjects) that may be included,

as needed, in your training. Each of these smaller topics includes four elements:

A Objectives. Lists the objectives the trainee is expected to meet at the completion of the topic.

B References. Lists the sections in the customer documentation where the topic is covered.

These references can be used by the trainer to prepare for teaching the topic and could be

assigned to the trainee as prerequisite or review reading.

C Special Instructions. Lists the instrument conditions that must be met, supplies needed

(when applicable), and other tips to the trainer for completing the topic.

D Topic Notes and Tasks. Lists the key facts that should be covered and suggests tasks to

promote or reinforce learning the topic material.
