I you are going to choose to override the prompts, you had best revert back to a schedule of changing solutions on a rotating schedule. You probably had something like that in place with your previous processor. I would call Leica to have them send out someone to help get your processing optimized, and train your staff on how to set the parameters for your solutions. They are very interested in keeping their customers happy.

When we follow the machines prompt to change the solutions because of purity and we then process small biopsies on the machine, it overprocesses the specimens. So the staff have been overrriding the prompt to change the solutions causing specimens to be processed in impure solutions causing a host of other problems. Have any of you out there with Peloris experience had this problem? Is it a machine problem that should be fixed or human error due to overriding the prompts? I am new to this position and have very little experience with this issue so any help or suggestions will be greatly appreiciated. Thank you.
