1.5 Disposal Management Concept
The currently valid local regulations governing disposal must be observed. It is in
the responsibility of the user to arrange proper disposal of the individual
components.
All parts which may comprise potentially infectious materials have to be
disinfected by suitable validated procedures (autoclaving, chemical treatment)
prior to disposal. Applicable local regulations for disposal have to be carefully
observed.
The instruments and electronic accessories (without batteries, power packs etc.)
must be disposed off according to the regulations for the disposal of electronic
components.
Batteries, power packs and similar power source have to be dismounted from
electric/electronic parts and disposed off in accordance with applicable local regulations.
1.6 Instrument Disinfection
Analytical instruments for in vitro diagnostic involve the handling of human
samples and controls which should be considered at least potentially infectious. Therefore every part and accessory of the respective instrument which
may have come into contact with such samples must equally be considered as
potentially infectious.
Before doing any servicing on the instrument it is very important to
thoroughly disinfect all possibly contaminated parts. Before the instrument is
removed from the laboratory for disposal or servicing, it must be decontaminated.
Decontamination should be performed by authorised well-trained personnel
only, observing all necessary safety precautions. Instruments to be returned
have to be accompanied by a decontamination certificate completed by the
responsible laboratory manager.
If a decontamination certificate is not supplied, the returning
laboratory will be responsible for charges resulting from nonacceptance of the instrument by the servicing centre, or from authority’s
interventions.

1.7 Biohazard warning
Analytical instruments for in vitro diagnostic application involve the handling
of human samples and controls which should be considered at least potentially
infectious. Therefore every part and accessory of the respective
instrument which may have come into contact with such samples must equally be
considered as potentially infectious.
For safety reasons, we have labeled instruments with the
„BIOHAZARD“ warning label below.

SAMPLE CAPACITY: 40 PRIMARY TUBES or small plastic sample cups; including
16 places reserved for Standards and Controls, plus 4 places for STATS. Possibility to add samples continuously during operation, up to 240 Patients with up
to 30 different chemistries can be processed at a time.
REAGENT CAPACITY: 30 On-line reagents. Both 50 ml reagent bottles and 8 ml
reagent tubes are placed in the Reagent plate. Each reagent container can be
individually cooled or left at room temperature.
REAGENT VOLUME: Is automatically monitored with an On-line inventory The
number of tests available in each reagent container is displayed on the monitor..
OPEN SYSTEM: an unlimited number of user programmable Chemistry and Immunoassay methods can be programmed.
AUTOMATIC PRE-DILUTION OF SAMPLES: upon request, with 15 different dilution ratios.
BAR CODE READER built-in to identify the samples and /or reagents. (optional).
WALK-AWAY OPERATION: once patients are programmed, all operations are
fully automatic. The reaction cuvettes are automatically washed and dried to
assure a non-stop operation.
INCUBATION takes place in quartz cuvettes immersed in a liquid bath at 37°C to
assure perfect temperature control of the reactions at all times.
DIRECT READING: a built-in multi-filter photometer measures the samples directly in their cuvettes, several times during incubation at 8 different wavelength. Each sample has its own reagent-cuvette blank measured before the
addition of sample.
I.S.E MODULE: (optional) built-in for the simultaneous determination of Sodium,
Potassium and Chloride.
AUTOMATIC REPETITION OF TESTS – results that are critical, outside of linear
range or due to substrate depletion are automatically pre-diluted and repeated.
REAGENT VOLUME: 300 µl of reagent is sufficient to run any test.

is automatically memorized on the built-in hard disk and available for future
consultation.
PRINT ON LINE: if activated it will print results immediately after their final measurement.
GRAPHIC DISPAY: possibility to view the curve of any test for each individual
patient as well as all calibration and Quality control curves.
TEST COUNTER: displays the number and the type of test performed on the analyzer.
MANUAL INPUT OF RESULTS – for tests performed manually or on other instruments to be presented on the final Patient Report.
ARCHIVE ERRORS: a list of errors and warnings of the last 90 days are displayed.
COMMUNICATION: in real time with HOST computer according to ASTM proto-
cols.

BI-DIRECTIONAL INTERFACE: via a built-in serial port RS 232/C connection to EDP
systems.
2.3 Operation
The analyzer is a self sufficient system that uses some peripherals, such as Mo-
nitor, Mouse, keyboard and printer.
The analyzer consists in three parts:
- Reagent Plate Chamber: plate containing 30 On-line reagents with a choice to
cool or leave the reagents at room temperature.
- Sample Plate: consisting of 4 segments each holding 10 primary
tubes and 10 small plastic cups for automatic pre-dilution. The center of the plate is reserved for 4 STATS,
and 16 places for Standards and controls.
- Analytical System: consists of a reaction plate with 39 quartz cuvettes,
sitting in a liquid bath at 37°C. A built-in multi-filter
photometer measures the mAbs of the samples directly in the cuvettes. A built-in Wash system automatically washes and dries the cuvettes after use for
a continuous operation.
A reagent probe (with a built-in liquid level sensor) aspirates the reagent and
transfers it into the quartz reaction cuvette. The Reagent is incubated in the
liquid bath at 37°C for 90 sec. During its incubation time, it is measured (this
becomes the reagent/cuvette BLANK for each test).
The Sampling Probe (with its built-in liquid level sensor and mixer) aspirates and
deposits the sample by mixing i into the warm reagent to start the reaction.
Both Sampling and the Reagent arms are automatically washed both internally
and externally, dried and are ready to prepare the next sample.
The 12 seconds operational cycle consists in:
- A) Reagent aspiration, dispensing and measurement Reagent/Cuvette
BLANK
- B) Sample aspiration, dispensing, mixing, a sample measurement
- C) A final sample measurement and calculation
- D) Wash and dry cuvette
- E) Measurement of 20 samples in each cycle. (Each sample is measured every
24 sec – 2 working cycles)

The operation is Patient Oriented. All tests for Patient ONE are prepared before
starting on patient TWO. A full patient report is printed as soon as all the result
data for a given patient are available.
All patient data as well as the analyzer calibrations and their graph are stored
on a hard disk. A built-in user friendly Help and Maintenance programs are a
perfect guide for the operator.
