2. System Description
Theory of Operation
The iChem100 is a semi-automated urine chemistry analyzer performing
measurements of urine chemical constituents utilizing test strips. The
iChem100 is a reflectance densitometer.
Features
The iChem100:
• reads and interprets without operator variability
• processes and analyzes urine strips with a throughput of 210
samples per hour
• enables entry of microscopic results
Test Strips
• enables automated urine color determination with up to twelve
programmed choices
• reads ascorbic acid for interference detection
• allows users to correct or compensate for urine discoloration
• allows batch and stat mode for sample processing
The test strips have reagent-impregnated specialty paper pads to perform
c
hemical analysis of:
• bilirubin
• urobilinoge
n
• ketones
• ascorbic acid
• glucose
• protein
• blood
• pH
• nitrite
• leukocytes
• specific gravity
The advantage of this approach is ease of testing. The process requires
that an operator dip the urine test strip with its reagent-impregnated pads
into and out of a urine sample. This action brings the reagentimpregnated pads into contact with the urine containing the analytes to be

tested. Once the test strip has been dipped into the urine, color deve
on each of the reagent-impregnated pads in direct proportion to th
amount of analyte present in the sample. The test strips have a
compensation pad to determine the color of the urine as
fo
r color interference on the impregnated reagent pads.
After the test strips are placed on the Test Strip Tray with correct
orientation, they are automatically transported to the measurement
window and the r

LED Unit
For the illumination of the measurement, a LED Unit with three differen
wavelengths LEDs (450nm, 530nm and 625nm) is used. To increase
homogeneity, the LED’s are not placed regularly over the measurement
window but are placed mainly towards the outer area of the LED Unit.
order to achieve a very high light intensity, one reflector and one antireflector are placed beside the LED

2. System Description
CMOS Image Sensor
Unlike most of the reflectometers in the market for urine test strip
analysis, the iChem100 does not use a photodiode detector to measure
the reflected light, but instead utilizes a CMOS (Complementary Metal
Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor that captures a color image of each
of the test pads. The CMOS image sensor is able to photograph almost
the whole length (100mm) of the urine test strip and all of its width. As
seen in the figure above, the CMOS image sensor has been placed
perpendicular to the measurement level, and since the height of the
instrument limits the optical length, a mirror has been used for changing
the direction of the beam.
Optics Calibration
Prior to each measurement, the optics assembly is calibrated using a
“fixed standard” and it permits a one-point calibration. The iChem100 is
also capable of performing an internal, automated two-point calibration if
the one-point calibration done before each specimen determination falls
outside of the acceptable limits. A secondary “movable standard” is
automatically moved into place and readings from it in conjunction with
the “fixed standard” are used to perform a two-point calibration. No
external calibration strips or procedures are required.
Measurement
Once calibrated, the urine test strip is sequentially illuminated by the
LEDs (Red, Blue, Green) that are located at a 30
impregnated reagent pads, and the reflected signals are sent via the
mirror through the lens and captured by the CMOS camera. The captured
signal is evaluated and a completed result is provided for each of the
chemistries.
The iChem100 uses a compensation pad to determine the color of the
urine as well as correct for color interference on the impregnated reagent
pads. Since the iChem100 is capturing a pixelized image of the blood
pad, a special algorithm has been developed using more than a
reflectance to differentiate between intact and hemolyzed red blood cells.

Data Entry Fields
Data entry fields are areas in a screen where information is entered. One
screen can have several data entry fields, but only one field can be
selected and active for entering data at a time. Pressing an alpha or a
numeric key will input that character into the data entry field. If you
exceed the number of allowable characters in a field, you cannot enter
more characters until some characters have been deleted.
To select a data entry field, use the keyboard [↑] or [↓] keys to move the
cursor up or down in the screen. To move back and forth between left
and right columns, use the [Tab] key. The contents of the field will be
reverse highlighted to show that they are selected or active.
To delete contents from a data field, select the field using the keyboard’s
[↑] or [↓] or [Tab] keys, then press the [Delete] key.
To erase contents from data field one character at a time, select the field
using the keyboard’s [↑] or [↓] or [Tab] keys, then press the [Backspace]
key. The last character in the field will be deleted.
Toggle Fields
Toggle fields are fields setup in a circular fashion allowing you to choose
one field out of a series of pre-setup fields (e.g., blank, trace, few,
moderate, many, etc.). A toggle field will be indicated by a doubleheaded arrow [↔]. Only one toggle field can be active at a given time.
To select a toggle field, use the keyboard keys [↑] or [↓] to move the
cursor into the desired field.
To view the choices in a toggle field, use the keyboard keys [←] or [→] to
advance through the selections. To switch back and forth from a left
toggle field to a right toggle field, press the [Tab] key.
To confirm or lock in a selection, you may press the [Enter] key or use
the keys [↑] or [↓]. Either one will lock in the selection and advance you
to the next field.
