Service Information
visionCATS handling of aborted steps
June 2018/SI18-049/UB 1 page

Purpose The purpose of this SI is to inform about the handling of aborted steps in
visionCATS.

To give the user the possibility to correct obvious handling errors (plate placed the
wrong way into Visualizer, vial at the wrong position in ATS4, wrong plate in
Scanner, etc.) before any data is in the system, it is possible to abort steps under
the Options button. There are two choices:

On both actions the Analysis log shows the following:

• Date and time of action
• User that performed the action
• Client (PC) where the action was performed
• Information about the action (in the example below, the Image acquisition
process of a Visualizer was aborted)

Log
entry
In CAMAG’s view, this is the correct handling. The image is transferred and stored
in visionCATS as ‘data’ only after pressing the “Accept” button at the end of the
respective step. Before this, the image is not saved and therefore is not considered
actual data in visionCATS. Hence the term “aborted” describes the process
correctly.

21CFR This behavior is seen as meeting the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11 and Annexe
Part 11 11.
