1-1-1 Features
The footprint of the SP-4430 is as small as that of a
notebook computer. It weighs only 5 kg and can be
easily carried by one person. The small unit contains
various components such as a display, printer, 1sample centrifuge and automatic tip disposal
mechanism. No water supply or drainage system is
required, therefore it is suitable for examinations in
schools or bedside in hospitals. Power consumption
is greatly reduced.
Power consumption per 1 hour is approximately 50 W
on average (AC 100V, 60Hz when continuous
measurements are conducted).
The analyzer automatically absorbs samples set on the
Centrifuge-equipped Multi Rack and drops them on
reagent strips. Manual operation is not necessary, so
that the sampling amount becomes constant and
stable measurement results can be obtained.
The analyzer has a built-in centrifuge for 1 sample. By
placing the whole blood sample in the centrifuge tube
and setting it on the Centrifuge-equipped Multi Rack,
the operation, centrifugation
suction sampling is
conducted automatically. This saves centrifugation of
whole blood samples before measurement.
Calibration using magnetic cards
Reagent Card are
provided with the Reagent Strips
is possible, without
using the SPOTCHEM Calibrator Kit. By inserting
magnetic cards into the magnetic card reader,
differences between reagent strip lot number and daily
deviations are automatically calibrated.
Optional Hand-held Bar Code Reader is available. By
reading the bar code of each sample, the bar code is
automatically allocated as patient ID.
With the optional Data Management Software and
external devices, remote control of measurement
results and remote update of parameter settings are
possible.
SPOTCHEM EZ SP-4430 OPERATING MANUAL
DOC.No.OM-28573 REV.6 03/02
The light emitted from LED becomes monochromatic light of a certain wavelength after
passing through an optical fiber (Five different types of optical filters are provided, and the
optimum wavelength is selected for each test item). Monochromatic light is separated and
transmitted to the photometry section of each channel by ten optical fibers.
In each photometry section, the monochromatic light transmitted by the optical fibers is
irradiated on the reagent fields, which has a color reaction after sampling. Its reflected light
is read with 2 photodiodes, and the system calculates measurement results by end-point
assay (EPA) or reaction-rate assay (RRA).

1-4 Setting up the Analyzer
Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
1-4-1 Cautions
Before setting up the
analyzer, read the
following notes and
always take proper
safety precautions.
Allow a space of 10 cm or more between
the rear of the analyzer and the wall.
Failure to do so may cause overheating.
Excessive load on the cable connection
may cause fire or incorrect measurement
results.
Operate the analyzer with power of the
correct voltage and frequency.
Otherwise fire or damage may result.
Do NOT unnecessarily disassemble or
modify the analyzer. Such actions may
invite danger of exposure to pathogenic
microbes, and cause fire or damage.
Place the analyzer on a stable and level
surface free of vibration. Failure to do so
may damage the analyzer, correct
measurement results may not be obtained,
and injury may result. Do NOT place the
analyzer where there is a risk of falling.
To avoid electric shock and/or fire, use
the attached power cord to connect with
a power outlet. For details, contact your
distributer.
Connect the power plug directly to an
outlet, not via an extension cord or
power tap. The power supply for the
analyzer is 100 VA. Before turning on the
power switch, make sure that the total
input of devices connected to a
receptacle of the same circuit doesn
’t
exceed 1500 VA (100V, 15A).

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
Before setting up the
analyzer, read the
following notes and
always take proper
safety precautions.
Do NOT set up the analyzer where
chemicals are stored nearby, or where
corrosive gases or electrical noise are
generated. They may damage the analyzer,
and malfunctions and/or injury may occur.
Correct measurement results may not be
obtained.
Avoid exposing the analyzer to direct
sunlight, condensation and wind.
Otherwise, correct measurement results
may not be obtained, and may cause
deformation or malfunction of the
analyzer.
To connect the analyzer to external
devices, be sure to use proper cables to
avoid electric shock and/or fire. For
details, contact your distributor.
Place the analyzer in a room at
temperatures between 10
and 30
with humidity between 20% and 80%.
Otherwise, correct measurement results
may not be obtained.
Make sure that the room is well ventilated when a large
amount of carbon dioxide is generated (when gas
stoves, oil heaters and instantaneous water heaters are
used in the room). This is because the pH of the
Reagent Strips, which use an alkaline reaction reagent,
decreases under the influence of carbon dioxide and
correct measurement data may not be obtained.
Be careful not to be put hands under the
analyzer.

SPOTCHEMⅡ Reagent Strips (optional) must be used with this analyzer.
There are two types of SPOTCHEM Reagent Strips. Use the correct type
of strips for the measurement purpose.
Multi Reagent Strip
A Multi Reagent Strip has 5~6 reagent fields for analyzing various items including
normal screening, and liver or renal function screening.
Single Reagent Strip
A Single Reagent Strip has only one reagent field on it. Several different reagent items
of Single Reagent Strips can be measured for one sample.

In normal measurement, more than one item can be measured at a time
for one sample. The Reagent Strip Table can hold three Single Reagent
Strips and one Multi Reagent Strip, so that simultaneous measurement of
up to nine items is available. The operating procedure of normal
measurement is described as shown below.
