What about the quality and viability of
the cells?
Fill It enables the production

10.
How are the process set-up menus protected
from changes?
A mechanical supervisor key interlock
manages parameters on the system (such

set-up menus can be disabled so that operators
can only perform the specified process
(eg prime, dispense and recap).
