Procedures conditional instructions

D. Specimen List type of specimens that can be used and recommended volume and minimum volume. Indicate conditions that render the specimen unacceptable, such as hemolysis or lipemia. List patient preparation procedures. Provide instruction for specimen handling before testing. 

Operating procedures often contain conditional instructions, i.e., the person following the instructions will be required to take different courses of action depending on the current operating conditions. 

After verifying the count and condition during loading, the driver must make sure the load paperwork matches the cargo. If the paperwork does not match, the driver will need to first bring it to the shipper s attention. If the shipper will not make corrections, the carrier should have a procedure that instructs the driver to contact the company immediately. 

Instructions and procedures shall be developed for normal operations of the spent fuel storage facility, anticipated operational occurrences and design basis accident conditions. Instructions and procedures should be prepared so that each action can be readily performed in the proper sequence by the designated responsible person. Responsibilities for approval of any required deviations from procedures for operational reasons should be clearly defined. 

Tanks, Vessels, ana Equipment Flat, curved, and irregular surfaces such as tanks, vessels, boilers, and breechings are normally insulated with flat blocks, beveled lags, curved segments, blankets, or spray-apphed insulation. Since no general procedure can apply to all materials and conditions, it is important that manufacturers specifications and instructions be followed for specific insulation applications. 

You need an improvement system that causes improvement opportunities to be identified. Relying on chance encounters will not create the conditions needed for continuous improvement. The data that needs to be analyzed will be generated by a particular process and this process governed by particular documented procedures. By having already placed instructions in these procedures for certain data to be transmitted to your data analysts, you can cause opportunities to be identified. Other opportunities that are less dependent on product or process data may arise from the audit process and particular projects such as benchmarking, customer and supplier surveys. 

The standard requires controlled conditions to include documented procedures defining the manner of production, installation, and servicing where the absence of such instructions would adversely affect quality. The supplementary requirements also require job instructions for all employees having responsibilities for the operation of processes and for these job instructions to be accessible for use at the work station without disruption to the job. 

Typical questions that need to be answered are whether the CQP-based system is well designed (validity), whether activities (procedures, instructions, completion of registration forms) related to the monitoring system are executed properly (verification), and whether conditions (checking temperatures, concentrations, and other quality attributes) of processes are really achieved (production process verification). 

Following RM certificate instructions for material usage and handling, incorporate the RM into the scheme of analysis at the earliest stage possible, i.e. prior to the beginning of sample decomposition. Take it through the entire analytical procedure at the same time and under the identical conditions as the actual analytical samples in order to correctly monitor all the sample manipulation and measurement steps. 

Instructions on how to prepare samples for thermal analyses can be given only very generally since the variety and complexity of the problems involved makes it impossible to specify strict rules of procedure. In carrying out series of tests on any particular material, it is advisable to make this up in sufficient quantity and also to test it by other analytical methods such as X-ray and IR. All samples should be as far as possible homogeneous. Sample conditioning, i.e. adjustment to a predetermined degree of moisture content, may be carried out either before or after samples are weighed and loaded on the thermobalance. 

Comparison of McMillen s results with those for Newtonian fluids is instructive in two important respects. First, the non-Newtonian entrance loss was felt 40 diameters downstream from the entrance. Since the Reynolds number of the flow was only 50, the entrance loss for a Newtonian fluid (P3) would have only been felt downstream for a distance of 3 diameters. Second, comparison of the foregoing formula with the usually recommended procedure for Newtonian fluids (P3) indicates that the non-Newtonian pressure drop was approximately six times as great as that for Newtonian fluids under the same conditions. This figure was checked reasonably closely by the later work of Mooney and Black (M16), who found entrance losses of up to seven times those for comparable Newtonian fluids. Since this entrance loss (P3) is due to the energy required to set up the velocity profile, it might appear logical that... 

Procedures. Sorbent Conditioning. To facilitate partitioning of organics in aqueous solution onto hydrophobic nonpolar sorbents, the sorbents must first be conditioned with methanol to increase their wettability. This solvation of the solid phase is necessary to provide efficient and reproducible extractions. The conditioning process was carried out according to the instructions accompanying tbe extraction columns. 

Pre-employment instruction and pre-employment physical examinations are of critical importance in most work situations involving hazardous chemicals. The former should make clear the hazards involved, the need to avoid exposure under normal working conditions, and the mechanisms by which exposure is limited. Furthermore employees should understand how and when to contain spills and how and when to evacuate the area around the spill. Locations and use of emergency equipment, showers, eye washes, and so on, should also be given, and the most important procedures should be posted in the work area. 

Poor operator interface design induces errors and inefficiency among even the best-trained operators, especially under conditions of stress, time constraints, and/or fatigue. Although labeling (e.g., user documentation) is extremely important for good performance, even well-written instructions are cumbersome to use in conjunction with actual operation. In addition, it is difficult to write coherent documentation that describes awkward operating procedures. 

As noted in the introduction, a major aim of the current research is the development of "black-box" automated reactors that can produce particles with desired physicochemical properties on demand and without any user intervention. In operation, an ideal reactor would behave in the manner of Figure 12. The user would first specify the required particle properties. The reactor would then evaluate multiple reaction conditions until it eventually identified an appropriate set of reaction conditions that yield particles with the specified properties, and it would then continue to produce particles with exactly these properties until instructed to stop. There are three essential parts to any automated system—(1) physical machinery to perform the process at hand, (2) online detectors for monitoring the output of the process, and (3) decision-making software that repeatedly updates the process parameters until a product with the desired properties is obtained. The effectiveness of the automation procedure is critically dependent on the performance of these three subsystems, each of which must satisfy a number of key criteria the machinery should provide precise reproducible control of the physical process and should carry out the individual process steps as rapidly as possible to enable fast screening the online detectors should provide real-time low-noise information about the end product and the decision-making software should search for the optimal conditions in a way that is both parsimonious in terms of experimental measurements (in order to ensure a fast time-to-solution) and tolerant of noise in the experimental system.
