3.1 System description

Urine test strips simplify laboratory diagnosis through their ease of use, sensitivity and specificity. These benefits allow you to identify pathological changes in the urine quickly and reliably. Automated urinalysis with Miditr on® the reading of results is standardized by eliminating potential sources of error associated with visual reading of test strips (such as unfav ourab le lighting conditions at the workplace, differences in operators’ ability to discriminate between colours and keep to prescribed times, etc.). The test strips used are multi-parameter strips for measuring specific gravity, pH, leukocytes, nitrite, protein, glucose, ketone, urobilinogen, bilirubin and erythrocytes in urine.

3.1.2 Measuring Principle

Miditron®

photometer for in-vitro semi-quantitative reading of urine test strips from Boehringer Mannheim. The light sources (light-emitting diodes, LED’ s f or short) and reading times are optimized f or the reaction chemistry and colour dev elopment occurring on the test pads.

The measuring head of Miditron® of differing wavelengths. The test strip is held stationary at the measuring position and the measuring head moves over each test pad in turn, starting from a "Reference position" used to test the optical system.

During measurement, Miditron® test strip is properly positioned under the measuring head by carrying out a plausibility check on the light that is reflected. If the strip is not properly positioned under the measuring head, Miditron® message.

Reading is done electro-optically, as follows:

Test Area

Concentration Result

An LED (1) flashes light of a defined wav elength at an optimum angle onto the surface of the test pad (2). The light hitting the surface is reflected with an intensity that is dependent on the colour of the test pad, and is received by a photodiode detector (3) positioned directly above the test pad. The detector sends an analogue electrical signal to the analogue-to-digital converter (4), which converts it to a digital figure. The microprocessor (5) corrects the digital figure based on a value from an internal reference pad and converts it to a relative v alue b y scaling to a calibration standard, and then computes the absolute reflectance value.

Service Manual Miditron®

Junior

II / ID 1997491 / MJ / 1.0 - June 1998 / Page 15

3. Introduction

The semi-quantitative concentration result is determined by comparing the absolute reflectance value with the so-called range boundaries ( = constant, parameter-specific reflectance values stored in the analyzer).

Results can be printed out, saved in memory, and sent to a computer .

The wavelengths of the LED’s used to measure each of the urine test strip parameters are listed in the table below. The results of certain parameters are improved through the use of two different wa v elengths. The third LED is f or future options

Parameter Measuring Wave length [nm]

The photometric reflectance measurement for all of the parameters is carried out after an incubation time of 60 seconds. As with earlier urine analyzers from Boehringer Mannheim, allowance for intrinsic urinary colour, which is a recognized interfering factor, is made through measurement of a blank reagent pad, the so-called "compensation pad". Upon immersion into the urine sample, the compensation pad absorbs the sample liquid and assumes the intrinsic colour of the urine. Measuring the compensation pad helps prev ent f alse positiv es when the urine sample is strongly coloured.

In strongly alkaline urine samples, Miditron® automatically corrects the result obtained when the test pad for specific gravity is read.

3.3 Service Concept

3.3.1 Service level

From the early stage of dev elopment, Miditron® was designed for simple error detection and easy exchangeability of modules. This gives the service workshops the possibility of a fast and easy repair of the instrument on service level A (module level). No big stock or expensiv e equipment is necessary and service technicians are easier to train. Also, a permanent technical improvement in la y out and economic production.

SMD-technology increases reliability on better economical basis in production. Repair costs often do not relate to production costs for ne w parts with the latest improvement. This cuts the number of repairable parts.

On repairable modules the quality and function is alw a ys provided by the manufacturer according to the latest technology . This keeps Miditron® highest quality lev el.

The exchange price f or modules will be kept on a lo w le v e l to guarantee repairs, on economical basis.

3.3.2 Handling of warranty and repairs

Warranty period f or instruments and spare parts

The warranty period for instruments is 16 months starting with the date of shipment ex works Mannheim/ Federal Republic of Germany or 12 months starting with the date of the first installation, whichev er period is shorter.

The warranty period for spare parts is 6 months from installation date of the part, howe ver not longer than 24 months after having delivered e x works Mannheim/ Federal Republic of Germany.

Hint:

In case the instrument has a remaining warranty period of more than 6 months, the parts remain under warranty until the warranty period of the instrument expires.

3. Introduction

Handling of warranty claims

The warranty claim has to be handled via Return Authorization procedure or accepted equiv alent. Please answer all the questions on the RA f orm with the greatest care. Especially a detailed fault description is needed or the warranty claim will not be accepted by the manufacturer. Complete instruments are not accepted unless this has been agreed with the service department of the relevant product group responsible at BM GmbH.

Important information:

- Only parts marked with „A“ in the price list are generally accepted under warranty.

- Only return those parts marked with „R“ in the spare parts price list.

- W arr anty claim f or “R” parts will be accepted, if the part was returned to Mannheim.

- All def ective parts ( non-“R“ and „A“ parts ) should be kept on stock for a period of 7 months. In case the manufacturer needs the part for inv estigation it will be requested from Mannheim.

- All parts returned to Mannheim and not requested by Mannheim will be send back at the e xpense of the countries.

- The RA claim f or w arranty has to be in Mannheim no later than 8 weeks after the problem date.

Exclusion of warranty

The aforementioned warranties do not apply in case of improper use, handling, transportation or storage, faulty installation, repair or maintenance, chemical influence or contamination as well as damages resulting from that, failure to follo w oper ating instructions, alterations or modifications of instruments or parts thereof not authorized or recommended by BM GmbH and resulting damages, normal wear and tear and in case of other circumstances beyond the control of BM GmbH.

3. Introduction

Handling of repairs

As a general rule, all instrument repairs should be carried out by authorized and trained personnel only.

Repair of parts marked with „R“

Parts which are economically worth repairing are marked with „R“ in the spare parts price list. New and repaired parts could be recognized by different material numbers (language version).

(e.g. new part: 1234567-001, repaired part: 1234567-984) Repaired parts should be ordered together with new

parts via the order processing department in Mannheim (OU-VDG). Parallel to the ordering process of a repaired part, the defective part should be returned together with the filled RA form (giving full details of the defect and marked choice box with repair ) to Logistic Instruments (Goods Receipt) in MA-Wohlgelegen (LI-LV).

Repair of instruments

Complete instruments are not accepted for replacement or repair unless this has been agreed with the product group responsible at BM GmbH. Before replacement or repair can take place, the validity of the request must be examined and the question of costs must be settled in a written agreement with BM GmbH.

Terms of delivery

Shipments to the countries with the routine truck are

c.i.f./ shipments outside this procedure are ex works Mannheim .

Emergency shipments require additional costs to be charged.

Handling of costs

“Repaired”-parts (Material-No. 1234567-984) are shipped at a repair price. In case the defective parts are not returned within 3 or 8 weeks for european or oversea countries after ordering the repaired part, the countries will be charged later on with the difference to the new price.

3. Introduction

After the receipt of a warranty request for “A”-parts, BMG will credit 100 % of the currently effectiv e e x MA price.

In case the manufacturer does not accept the warranty request, the countries will be charged lateron with the Rprice for R-parts and the new price for non R-parts.

5. Calibration

Miditron®

The analyzer must be calibrated again before being used f or the first time, and then e v ery 14 days . The message "Please Calibrate" will appear in the display whenever the 14-day period has expired.

Calibration is a procedure in which allowance is made f or changes in the optical system by reference to an internal compensation pad. If there ha v e been mark ed changes, caused for instance b y soiling of the ref erence pad or because of low-level light output from a defectiv e LED, an error message is printed out.

Control-Test M calibration strips (Catalogue Number 1 379

194) are standardized grey plastic strips that have constant,

defined reflectance characteristics. Calibr ation strips should not be removed from their container until shortly before use, and should be used once only. Do not touch the elev ated grey areas on the strip (see the package insert for more details). Bef ore calibrating, ensure that the tr ansport arm and strip receiving tray / waste tra y are clean and dry.

To calibrate, proceed as follow s:

The user is guided by display messages and the status LED . The status LED appears in one of three states:

- Red = Read display messages,

- Flashing green = Dip a test strip,

- Green = Insert the test strip. There is also a choice of three operating modes (further

details see Operators´Manual):

- Normal Mode

- Accelerated Mode

- Fast Mode When dipping a test strip in the sample, always ensure that

all of the test pads are completely covered. Place the test strip, with its test pads facing upwards , to the right of the "NO STRIP" warning and between the two elev ations along the front edge of the strip receiving tray. The far end of the test strip must be resting on the inner lip at the rear of the tray (Fig. 60).

6. Operation

If the analyzer has not been used for more than 10 minutes , it automatically enters Standby Mode. The display blanks out and the status LED is red. When you press any function key (except <Line Feed>), the analyzer performs a selfcheck and returns to "READY - <START>" , "ACC MODE <START>" or "FAST MODE <ST AR T>", depending in which mode was selected most recently.

6.2 Normal Mode

In Normal Mode the displa y reads "READY - <START>". Press <Start>, dip a test strip and then insert it in the analyzer . You can repeat this procedure e v ery 36 seconds. The sample throughput is about 100 test strips per hour. Before a test strip is read, you can enter the colour and/or clarity of the sample, in which case "Color Manual" and/or "Clarity On" must be selected in the Setup menu. In addition, the Patient ID ma y be entered with the aid of a barcode reader or through the numeric keypad.

6.3 Accelerated Mode

In Accelerated Mode (a batch mode for processing series of samples) the display reads "A CC MODE <START>". After you ha v e pressed <Start>, you may dip and insert a test strip, when prompted, into the analyzer every 20 seconds. The sample throughput is about 180 tests per hour. In Accelerated Mode, the colour and/or clarity of a sample may be entered bef ore the test strip is read, in which case "Color Manual" and/or "Clarity On" must be selected in the Setup menu. In addition, the Patient ID may be entered with the aid of a barcode reader or through the numeric keypad. In Accelerated Mode, there are up to 3 test strips incubating outside the analyzer .

6.4 Fast Mode

In Fast Mode (a batch mode f or processing series of samples) the display reads "FAST MODE <START>". After you ha v e pressed <Start>, you may dip and insert a test strip into the analyzer ev ery 12 seconds. The theoretical sample throughput is 300 tests per hour . In Fast Mode, there are up to 5 test strips incubating outside the analyzer .

7. Service mode and adjustment

7.1 How to make adjustments

To be able to measure Combur X M strips it will be necessary to position them in such a way ov er the respective test field that the receiv er can register the accessible core zone of the test field.

The strip is pushed by the transport grid in cross direction. This strip takes up a reproducible position in longitudinal direction by means of a control edge on the strip tray.

At the same time the cross movement and the friction of the strip on the tray ensures that the strip runs up against the 2 catch teeth of the grid. The strip is still free heightwise because the double leaf suspension system keeps the transport arm held upwards. If the measuring head now trav els o v er the tr ansport grid, the suspension presses the transport grid down and clamps the strip in position. At the same time, one component of the suspension system measuring head ensures that the strip runs along the guiding edge of the grid. In this w a y w e ensure that the cross positioning is within the indexing accuracy of measuring head and grid.

The measuring head is likewise positioned in height directly over the g rid. The g rid has an appropriate height section to compensate the varying thickness of the different test fields . With its runners the measuring head slides over the height section. In this w a y the distance of the measuring head to the surface of the test field is determined within the tolerances of the measuring head, grid and test field.

Position in longitudinal direction of the strip:

The drive train of the measuring head has a light barrier as reference. The switching point of the light barrier in the direction of trav el on the instrument user TEXT??? side is such that the measuring head with its measuring patch (2.7 mm in diameter) is on the reference field (14 x 14 mm). From this ref erence position the measuring head is tra v eled by step motor a specific number of steps to the first test field and from there from test field to test field in a fixed number of steps. Since a long chain of tolerances is given from the light barrier to the middle of the test patch the first number of steps (to the test field) is kept v ariab le and adjusted depending on the actual instrument.

Service Manual Miditron®

Junior

II / ID 1997491 / MJ / 1.0 - June 1998 / Page 34

7. Service mode and adjustment

Adjustment is made with the help of an optical signal from the measuring head. A special adjustment strip has a bright bar 2 mm in width on a dark background in the test field position 7. If this test field is now trav eled over stepwise and measured, a measurement curve will be produced which will then show a maximum when the measuring head with its optical center is centered over the bright bar. The adjustment program of the Miditron® and calculates from these the number of steps from the reference position to the center of the first test field. The number of steps is saved as adjustment position.

7.2 General

The adjustment procedure should be undertaken by trained service staff only . It is used to clear unexpected errors and after repair work. No special service tools are necessary although adjustment strips will be used. The strips are available as a spare part with ID 1 704 656.

The GND connections are directly at the plug and led to the GNDM-plane.

The 5 V supply v oltage f or the printer is directly led to the PCB Interface via a connection cable (7) and the plug X201. In addition, this voltage supplies e xternal instruments which are connected to the interface plugs barcode reader (71), Host PC (72) and external printer. The voltage is uncoupled via thermal fuses (F201 and F202) with an electricity limit of approx. 300 mA to guar antee protection from short circuit.

When "Default settings" is selected, all instrument settings will be reset to factory default settings. Acknowledge the desired setting by pressing <Enter>.

For structural software updates (change in the version number before the decimal point) there is no optional choice. In this case, only the standard setting is available, as data areas or data structures might have changed.

After an update, the analyzer perf orms a selftest, deletes the results and resets the sequence number to 0. Then calibration is requested, before it changes to the Normal Mode.

If an error is detected in the course of a software update, an “error no. xx” (xx=1...12) is displayed. A description of the error codes is given in Chapter13.

Attention: If the previous software has been deleted, it will be necessary to load an update. Otherwise the analyzer will not be operational.

11.5 Loading instrument settings via Download

All instrument settings, variable parameters as well as the texts can be downloaded via the printer interface. To do so , edit an INI-file in the ASCII mode. Sections are described via keywords in square br ac kets (e.g. [Setup]).

Loading of the INI-file via the interface takes place in the Service Mode by means of a terminal program (e.g. Telix). For this purpose, the service PC is connected to the printer interface of Miditron® cable.
