Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
1-1-1 Features
■Compact and lightweight design
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, 1- sample 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.
■Energy-saving design
■Automatic Sampling
■Built-in centrifuge for 1 sample
■Simple calibration using magnetic cards
■Sample Control by Bar code
■Online Network through two-way Transmission
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.

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
1-1-2 Measurement principles
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.
To avoid electric shock and/or fire, use the attached power cord to connect with a power outlet. For details, contact your distributer.
Operate the analyzer with power of the correct voltage and frequency. Otherwise fire or damage may result.
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).
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.

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.

1-4-2 Setting up the analyzer
The parts in the analyzer are secured firmly in order to prevent scratches and/or damage due to transportation. Remove the fixing tapes before setting up the analyzer. Read 1-4-1 “Cautions on installation” carefully before setting up the analyzer.
1. Remove the fixing tape.
Remove the tape fixing the table cover.
Open the maintenance cover and remove the tape fixing the nozzle.
Reattach the maintenance cover.
2. Connect the power cord.
Make sure that the power switch on the rear of the analyzer is OFF.
Connect the AC adapter to the receptacle on the rear panel of the analyzer, and plug the other end of the cord into the AC outlet.
3. Connecting an external device (if necessary)
When using an external device, connect the exclusive connecting
cable to COM on the rear panel of
the analyzer.

2-1-1 SPOTCHEM Reagent Strips
SPOTCHEM 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.

2-1-2 Normal measurement
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.
