Apply Canopy Door Labels

What Is Affected

Icons labels depicting TMAClosedTranscription-mediated amplification—Hologic's patented nucleic acid amplification technology. Reagents, Tips, Sample and TCRClosedTarget capture reagent—An assay-specific reagent added as part of specimen pipetting. are now available to install. These labels must be installed on the Canopy Doors above their respective modules.

Icon labels were cut-in on Panther 01466 and above and do not require sticker installation.

Panther 01465 and below do not have icon labels, and should be installed as per below:

  • Apply labels to a Panther System if a site has multiple systems with a combination of serial numbers above and below 01465. The goal is to have all Panthers on a site look the same. Single systems do not need to be upgraded.
  • Apply labels to any Panther System below serial number 01465 when a Fusion is installed. All Fusions come with labels so the Panther should match, even if it’s a single system.
