1. HYDRAULIC & PNEUMATIC PRINCIPLES

1. GENERALITIES

MICROS 60 instrument has been designed for simple mechanical operations. 4 stepper motors provide movements to mechanical assemblies. Pressure and vacuum are provided by the vacuum/waste syringe up and down movements (diag 1). Liquid movements are achieved either by means of mechanical assembly movements (liquid

Diag.1

syringes diag 2) or pressure/vacuum and simultaneous action of specific valves.

• Dilution chambers (Diag .3) WBC/HGB and RBC chambers are made of GRILAMID TR55 LY injected. The diode and the cell of the spectrophotometer are glued on the WBC/HGB chamber. Chamber positions can be modified in order to obtain the best sampling position possible.

Dilutions :

First dilution is carried out in the WBC/HGB chamber (with a bubbling phasis). The RBC blood sample is aspirated from this dilution. Lyse is sent from the drain nipple of the WBC/HGB chamber. Counts have a duration of 2 x 6 seconds.

(see procedures RAS 188 A and RAS 187 A for cycle hydraulic details)

Rinse :

To obtain the best rinse in the counting heads, diluent is sent from the liquid syringes. This is carried out before, between and after the two counts.

IMPORTANT

A window on the HGB/WBC chamber allows the needle to move down into the chamber and to inject reagents. As important light or variation of light can cause HGB result drifts, close instrument cover and door before running blood analyses.

Bubbling

Insulators avoid polluted liquid overflows during bubbling phasis. they also allows an accurate adjustment of the bubbling volume.

MICROS 60 CT specifics :

- The piercing needle is equipped with two injectors to obtain a homogeneous diluent flow during needle rinsing phasis (see procedures RAS 188 A and RAS 187 A).

- Atmosphere is provided to sample tubes to allow a correct aspiration of blood.

1. MAINTENANCE

1.1. Introduction

WARNING !

Customer maintenance has to be carried out according to the recommended frequency chart table and after having performed an ABX approved customer training course. The system warranty may be affected if damage occurs after a non trained technician intervenes or if replaced spare parts and consumables do not come from an ABX approved origin.

1.2. Daily customer maintenance

No special adjustments or maintenance has to be done on your equipment if the recommended startup and shutdown procedures are explicitly respected. See the

ABX MICROS 60

User Manual for the daily rinsing and cleaning of the system.

1.3. Weekly customer maintenance

An overall check for cleanliness of the system is recommended every week. All traces of blood or reagent have to be wiped off as soon as possible using a piece of cloth and distilled water.

CAUTION

Never use solvent or abrasive cleaning material to clean the system.

 PROCEDURE

1 - Unpacking

INSTALLATION

The instrument is enveloped in a special, protective foam before being placed in a cardboard box. Cut the four angles of the box to unpack the system. Remove the cardboard box containing the ABX MICROS 60 installation kit from its location (see Diag.1).

Diag.1

2 - Working conditions

• Environment

ABX MICROS 60-OT should be operated in an indoor location only. Operation at an altitude

over 2000 meters is not recommended. Instrument is designed to be safe for transient voltages according to INSTALLATION CATEGORY II and POLLUTION DEGREE 2.

• Location

ABX MICROS 60-OT should be placed on a clean and level table or work station. Please note

that ABX MICROS 60-OT, printer and reagents weigh approximately 30 kilograms (66 lbs). Avoid exposure to sunlight. Proper ventilation requires that a space of at least 20 cm (8 inches) must be left behind the apparatus.

• Grounding Proper grounding is required. Check that the wall ground (earth) plug is correctly connected to the laboratory grounding electricity installation. If there is no ground then use a ground stake. Current electricity norms must be applied.

• Humidity and temperature conditions

ABX MICROS 60-OT can function between 18 to 32°C (65 to 90°F), with relative humidity,

meaning less than 80% with no condensation. If it is kept at a temperature less than 10°C (50°F), the instrument should be allowed to sit for an hour at the correct room temperature before use.

INSTALLATION

3 - Visual checks

Diag.2

MICROS 60 OT

Using the key contained into the installation kit, turn the locker as shown on the Diag. 2 to open the pneumatic protection door.

Unscrew the 3 cover fixation screws (Diag. 3) and loosen the 2 tightening screws under the reagent flap (Diag 4). Remove the cover : pull it backward and lift it up to the rear of the instrument .

Diag.3

Diag.5

Diag.4

Push the black plastic carriage locking clip (A) as far as possible to the left and place the sample needle carriage (B) as far forward as possible to the right-hand side, as shown in Diag. 5. Check that the needle is not bent and make sure it is in its upper position.

RAS 165 A Ind.B Page 3/13

INSTALLATION

Unscrew slightly the 2 screws of the WBC/HGB chamber protection cover (diag 6). Remove the cover and check that both chambers (RBC/PL T, WBC/HGB) are fixed properly in their clips and the electrode blocks are attached firmly to the chambers (Diag. 7).

Diag.6

Re-install the HGB/WBC chamber cover.

Diag.8

Diag.7

• Location

ABX MICROS 60-CT should be placed on a clean and level table or work station. Please note

that ABX MICROS 60-CT, printer and reagents weigh approximately 30 kilograms (66 lbs). Avoid exposure to sunlight. Proper ventilation requires that a space of at least 20 cm (8 inches) must be left behind the apparatus.

• Grounding

Proper grounding is required. Check that the wall ground (earth) plug is correctly connected to the laboratory grounding electricity installation. If there is no ground then use a ground stake. Current electricity norms must be applied.

• Humidity and temperature conditions

ABX MICROS 60-CT can function between 18 to 32°C (65 to 90°F), with relative humidity,

meaning less than 80% with no condensation. If it is kept at a temperature less than 10°C (50°F), the instrument should be allowed to sit for an hour at the correct room temperature before use.
