2.1 Preparation
2.1.1 General Information
2.1.1.1 Systems/Products Affected

Test Definition EL Version 7.1.1.2 SP1 or higher with Test Definition Version 1.0.CV or
higher affects all Centaur XP systems.
Before loading test definition version 1.0.EL check if the system already has the HBsII as‐
say installed. If the system has HBsII, do not install test definition version 1.0.EL but in‐
stead install test definition version 1.0.EM.
2.1.1.2 Reason for the Update

This update is mandatory due to the field action for the potential of ADVIA Centaur Ho‐
mocysteine assay to intermittently interfere with the Folate assay, and provides the fol‐
lowing changes:
n Provides test parameters for new assay: sCOVG.
n Updates parameters for existing assays: COV2G, COV2T, FolateBA, and TSTII.
Some assays are not available for use in all countries. Product availability varies from
 country to country based on regulatory requirements. Contact your local regulatory rep‐
resentative for assay availability. The test definitions are disabled and should not be ena‐
bled until country registration is completed.
2.1.1.3 Applicability
ADVIA Centaur XP systems with software version 7.1.1.2 and higher.
 CAUTION
Before loading test definition version 1.0.EL, check if the system already has the
HBsII assay installed. If the system has HBsII, do not install test definition version
1.0.EL but instead install test definition version 1.0.EM.
 If you install test definition version 1.0.EL onto a system that has the HBsII as‐
say, the customer will not be able to run the HBs assay, and you will need to
reinstall system software and then install test definition version 1.0.EL.
2.1.1.4 Description
Minimum System Software and Test Definition Requirements
The minimum system requirements to update to test definition version 1.0.EL are soft‐
ware version 7.1.1.2 and test definition version 1.0.CV. This is a non-mandatory update.

6 2 Test Definition EL
Starting with software version 7.1.1.2, after a test definition update, the test definitions
 which were enabled on the system will remain enabled, and the test definitions which
were disabled will remain disabled. The new assays will be disabled.
 Beginning with software version 7.1.1.2, the Global Final Result Rule and the Reuse Re‐
sult Feature are automatically enabled. To modify these settings, refer to Appendix C.

Before loading Test Definition version 1.0.EM which contains the HBsII and Confirmatory
(Conf) assays, you must remove the original HBs assay and its associated Conf-related da‐
ta. The Conf Removal Tool Kit (SMN 10482876, PN 078-K312-01) deletes all Conf-related
data from the database. This enables you to update to Test Definition version 1.0.EM. Re‐
fer to Using the Conf Removal Tool (PN 078D0925-01) for instructions on using the tool.
