– Important information! – Always follow! – This Reference Manual contains vital warning and safety information. This instrument is intended to be used only for the specialized purpose described in the instructions. The most important prerequisites for use, operation, and safety are explained to ensure smooth operation. No warranty or liability claims will be covered if the instrument is used in ways other than those described or if the necessary prerequisites and safety measures are not observed. The instrument may be operated only by persons whose qualifications enable them to comply with the safety measures that are necessary during operation of the machine. Adjustments and maintenance performed with removed covers and connected power may be attempted only by a qualified technician who is aware of the associated dangers. Instrument repairs are only to be performed by the manufacturer or qualified service personnel. Only accessories and supplies either delivered by or approved by Roche are to be used with the instrument. These items are manufactured especially for use with this instrument and meet the highest quality requirements. Operation of the instrument with solutions whose composition is not consistent with that of the original solutions can negatively affect, above all, the long-term measurement accuracy. Deviations in the composition of the solutions can also decrease the service life of the electrodes.
The quality control requirements must be completed at least once daily for safety reasons. Because accurate measurement results depend not only on the proper functioning of the instrument, but also on a number of other factors (such as preanalytics), the results produced by the instrument should be examined by a trained expert before subsequent decisions are reached that are based on the measurement values.
Explanation: Meaning: "Caution, refer to accompanying documents“.
– Important information! – Always follow! –

General notes
1.1.1 General operating instructions The Roche OMNI C should be enabled at all times! Always perform shutdown procedures when the instrument will remain switched off for a longer period of time (longer than 24 hours). For additional information, please see the Instructions for Use, chapter 1 "Introduction", section "Shutdown"). Avoid leakage of fluids inside the analyzer. Complete at least one quality control test every day (please see the Instructions for Use, chapter 5 , "Quality control", for more information) in order to quickly recognize error functions in the Roche OMNI C.
1.1.2 Symbols Reference manual All sections / passages that are marked with this symbol (refer to Instructions for Use) describe information to avoid possible potential for personal injury (for patients, user or third person)
Risk of infection! All sections / passages that are marked with this symbol describe procedures and/or indicate conditions or dangers that could damage or lead to a malfunction in the Roche OMNI C, and which therefore should never be attempted.
TIP: All sections / text locations marked with "TIP" describe safe procedures that are intended to provide the user with additional "Help."

1.2
Safety instructions for specific dangers
1.2.1 Disposal of waste water, bottles, electrodes, and the instrument Dispose of the waste container in accordance with local regulations for hazardous waste.
1.2.2 Decontamination After use, components of the Roche OMNI C, including tubing, waste container, filling port, etc., contain biological fluids and represent therefore a possible infectious risk. Handle these components with care and avoid contact with skin. Always wear gloves! The purpose of this procedure is to minimize risk when replacing items that were in contact with biological samples. Roche recommends following a decontamination procedure in addition to regulations specific to the laboratory. These decontamination procedures should be performed periodically to minimize the risk of infections. For more detailed information about decontamination, see the chapter "Maintenance" in the Instructions for Use.

Screen All information (results, error messages, warnings, etc.) is displayed on the screen. The screen consists of a 5.7" colour LCD that is covered with a touch-sensitive film.
2.1.1 Screen arrangement The Roche OMNI C screen is divided into three main areas: header line
operating mode area
status line Fig. 2
This screen division applies to all areas of the Roche OMNI C software. The header and status lines are always available in the same division, the operating mode area depicts the status of the currently active operating mode and serves the interaction of the operating modes with the user.

2.1.2 Header line The header line contains the following elements: operating mode selection button
info button
general information window
button for "More functions"
Fig. 3
The operating mode selection button enables switching between the individual operating modes: Analyzer, Database, and Setup. Pressing one of these buttons initiates a switch to the desired operating mode. The menu times out after 5 seconds. In other words, when the user does not take any action, the menu disappears automatically after this length of time. Pressing the operating mode selection button again while the menu is visible closes the menu. Upon selection of an operating mode, the display switches to the corresponding side of the screen.
The info button activates the Info operating mode. The Info operating mode has a special status because it is virtually superimposed on top of the other operating modes. The Info operating mode contains information on everything that could be associated with the instrument, specifically all status information (fill levels, electrodes, log entries), user information, and on-line help. Upon exit, the Info operating mode terminates completely.

Measuring chamber The measuring chamber consists of the following components • • • • • • • •
• •
Electrical ground contact: grounds electrode amplifier's electrical currents. tHb/SO 2 module: see section 2.3.2! Valve V3, V5: these valves serve to control the transport of fluid. Sample sensors SS1, SS2: these two sensors are located under the black sample sensor covering plate. They detect the operating fluids and the sample. Tubing Measuring chamber trough: this is held at 37 °C. The electrodes are pushed through the spring contacts against the retainers into the socket. Measuring chamber cover: it is held at 37 °C, contains the electrode window and the switching magnet for the measuring chamber cover sensor. Contact bank: the contact bank contains the replaceable spring contacts for the electrodes and the cover sensor. The electrode amplifiers are located behind the contact bank. A colour-coded strip is located above the contact bank and is used to identify the electrodes. Left retainer: serves to secure the electrodes as well as the tubes used with the reference electrode. Locking lever: movable part of the left retainer.
2.3.1 Electrodes The correct positions of the various electrodes are easy to determine by the colours on their contact caps and/or by their labelling (see "Contact bank"). contact cap
