1 INTRODUCTION TO PHOTOMETER 5010
This device is a semi-automated, programmable photometer for In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) by qualified laboratory
staff.
It is operated via touchscreen. Remote control is possible by a serial data interface (chapter 7.2.5 - Serial
interface – REMOTE CONTROL).
For measuring methods several programmed methods with open parameters are available (chapter 5 CALCULATION PROCEDURES and chapter 12 - METHOD LIST).
Besides, up to 231 methods - built up on the basic methods - can be established and stored by the operator with
a method editor. A list of methods can be printed out (chapter 6 - METHOD EDITOR).
Up to 50 nonlinear calibration curves with maximum 20 sets of points can be stored (chapter 7.2.2 - Multistandard functions).
Photometer 5010 offers a flexible cuvette concept: A special flow-through cuvette and a peristaltic pump provide
for speedy operation with an optimal tempering of the measuring solution. Alternatively the measuring solution
can be measured in one-way or glass cells in the provided standard cuvette adaptor.
By means of a combination of transistor and Peltier element the solution reaches fast and accurately one of the
three selectable temperatures, 25 °C, 30 °C or 37 °C.
The Photometer 5010 is standard equipped with six optical filters of the wavelengths 340, 405, 492, 546, 578
and 623 nm. If required, they can be exchanged against any wavelength within the range of 340-800 nm. Three
additional filters, e.g. 670 nm, can be installed.
The device is equipped with a rugged graphics printer (8 dot matrix) with 24 characters per line using standard
paper.
The measuring data can be stored and managed in the Photometer 5010 (chapter 7.2.8 - Data logging).
According to a GLP conformal documentation the names of lab and operator can be printed out as well as
transferred to EDP (chapter 7.2.5 - Serial interface – EDP ON/OFF).
In Photometer 5010 up to 50 methods can be supervised with a quality control (chapter 7.2.6 - Quality control).
Numerous utility programs permit the individual configuration of the device. Function tests support the analysis
of sources of error.
Photometer 5010 is future-proof by FLASH MEMORY technology: The operating system can be updated with
program novelties and/or improvements comfortably, without having to open the equipment (chapter 7.2.5 Serial interface – DOWNLOAD).

3.5 CUVETTES AND CUVETTE ADAPTOR
3.5.1 Changing cuvette adaptor
If a flow system is installed, first the tubing system must be emptied: Go to the main menu and execute a
washing process by sipping lever [P] five times. Air is aspirated and the residual liquid is pumped off through the
waste tube.
Switch off the device.
If a flow system is installed, disconnect the bubble detector, remove the aspiration tube from the metal tube and
disconnect the outlet tube cuvette from the joints of the pump tube.
Loosen the milled screw and remove the adaptor.
Another adaptor can easily be inserted. Before check the cleanliness of the lense and the underside of the
adaptor. When inserting the adaptor electrical contacts in the device are closed. Turn milled screw only by hand!
3.5.2 Working with original flow-through system
Lead the aspiration tube with attached bubble detector without sharp bend from the working area through the
metal tube. Fasten outlet tube cuvette to the metal nipple of the cuvette as well as to the joint of the pump tube.
Before connecting the tubes remove pump tube at both ends from the metal clamps. The pump tube
must not be tensed during longer time out (fig. below).
Tension release:
The upper connection of
the pump tube can be
loosened easily from the
metal clamps.
Plug the bubble detector to the socket in the working area. It must sit as close as possible at the connection of
the flow-through cuvette. For working without bubble detector switch off this function (chapter 7.2.4.3 -
Bubble
detector ON / OFF).
While working with the flow-through system the tubes must not be sharply bended. No residues should
be inside. Check from time to time that the tubing and the connections are leakproof. After each replacement of
tubing execute a
Pump calibration (chapter 7.2.4.2).
Before as well as after all measuring it is absolutely necessary to wash the tube system repeatedly with
distilled water or another appropriate rinse solution by pressing [WASH] or sipping lever [P]. This is also necessary after a method change (chapter 8.1 - CLEANING INSTRUCTION). For the procedure within a measuring
series see the application regulation.
In order to aspirate solution into the measuring system put the aspiration tube deeply enough into the respective
vessel.
Before setting to zero press [ZERO]. Trigger setting to zero by sipping lever [P].
Trigger a normal measuring by sipping lever [P]. Repeat a measuring of a solution which is already aspirated by
[RESULT].
To work in optimized volume mode use the function
Volume optimized ON / OFF (chapter 7.2.4.3.2). This
function makes it possible, for example, to pump two consecutive times 500 µl from 1000 µl sample volume.

5.1 GENERAL NOTES
The device offers operator guidance in the display by a combination of plaintext and short terms.
Messages and inputs regarding the method always have to be confirmed by [OK]. By [EXIT] all methods can be
broken off. For a restart see chapter 4 - PROGRAM SELECTION. Measuring is generally triggered by sipping
lever [P] or [RESULT], zero measuring by [ZERO] and sipping lever [P] (chapter 3.5.2 - Working with original
flow-through systemand 3.5.3 - Working with standard cuvettes -).
5.1.1 Fundamental to the handling ...
• Before measuring with standard cuvettes the lid of the cuvette compartment is to be closed.
•
5.1.2 Fundamental to the tempering ...
• Tempering switched on or off is parameter of a method.
• After switching on the tempering it lasts up to 10 minutes until a constant temperature of 25 °C, 30 °C
• The current temperature of the flow-through cuvette or of the cuvette adaptor is shown at the Iower
• For a quick mode of operation all temperature-sensitive samples, reagents and washing solutions
5.1.3 Fundamental to the inputs ...
• The input format of the factor and/or the standard with sign determines the output format of the result
• Each factor or standard can be minus signed, so that the result is calculated with correct sign.
• For a homogeneous solution the input of a delay before a measuring is possible at all methods.
• All delay times can be cancelled by pressing the aspiration tube [P] for a long time.
Deviations from normal operation, caused by the device or by the operator, are notified by
“ERROR”. They always have to be confirmed by [E] (chapter 9 - ERROR MESSAGE /

•Linear calibration is used in the case of two calibrators. The absorbance forms a linear diagram with
the concentrations (chapter 7.2.2 - Multi-standard functions).
• Nonlinear calibration is used for samples with a nonlinear but reproducible connection between the
absorbance and the concentrations. At least three (maximum 20) calibrators are required for nonlinear
calibration (chapter 7.2.2 - Multi-standard functions).
5.1.6 Fundamental to bichromatic measurements …
•The calculation procedures based on endpoint measurement (CP 1 to CP 8, CP 13 and CP 14) can be
executed bichromatic. The zero measurement will be done with a wavelength defined as bichromatic.
The bichromatic wavelength might be not included in the standard set of filters. The bichromatic
wavelength can be set after calling a method (chapter 6 METHOD EDITOR Fig. 6.5).
ROBERT RIELE GmbH & Co KG Page 18 5 - CALCULATION PROCEDURES CALCULATION PROCEDURES
5010e_513.doc / 22.01.10
5.1.7 Fundamental to the Kinetic…
In a kinetic method the sample absorbance is measured several times in pre-established time intervals.
The user can define a delay time and a quantity and duration of time intervals after the delay time (Deltas or ∆t).
At the beginning and at the end of the delay time the absorbance values ABS.1 and ABS.2 are measured
respectively. The difference |ABS.1 – ABS.2| allows the differentiation between normal and abnormal activities.
This is followed by a sequence of measurements in regular time intervals (Deltas or ∆t). An example of a
resulting curve is shown in Fig. 5.1.7.1:
Fig. 5.1.7.1: Resulting curve of kinetic test, decreasing absorbance
In each time interval (Delta or ∆t) the difference between the relating absorbance values as well as the gradient
of the curve are calculated.
To obtain the alteration per minute ∆A
the gradients must be averaged. This is done by a simple linear
S,Minute
regression calculation also giving an indicator for the linearity of the test. This indicator is called the coefficient of
correlation R. For practical reasons, the square of the coefficient of correlation R^2 or coefficient of
determination is taken in a Kinetic calculation. The value of R^2 can vary between 0 and 1. An R^2 value of 1
indicates perfect linearity and a value of 0 indicates absolute non-linearity. Already values < 0.9 indicate a bad
linearity and therefore an incorrect test.
In practice, linear tests show values of R^2 near to 1. In the example for Calculation procedure 11 (KIN/F/Rb)
values of R^2 ≥ 0.998 are permitted. Results with smaller R^2 values could be caused by temperature
instability, pollution, expired reagents, unfavorable delay time, etc.
For a better monitoring the number of deltas (deltas or ∆t) should be bigger than specified for the manual
procedure. The classic three-minutes-test with three deltas of 60 s can be replaced by 15 deltas of 12s.
When programming a new method, which is based on CP 11 or CP 12, it is possible to set lower and upper
limits for the measurement result within the method editor (see chapter 6 - METHOD EDITOR,
Fig. 6.5). This
can be achieved setting the parameters MIN. VALUE and MAX. VALUE. If the measured value exceeds the
MAX. VALUE a message RANGE MAX. is shown and if the measured value falls below MIN. VALUE message
RANGE MIN. is shown. Also a lower limit for R^2 can be entered by setting MIN. R^2, if the obtained R^2 value
falls below the entered value a message RANGE R^2 is shown.
In order to get positive results at tests with decreasing absorbance (see Fig. 5.1.7.1), a negative factor has to be
entered. Only if MAX. VALUE is set and the sign of the measured value is not equal to the sign of the entered
MAX. VALUE a message RANGE +/- is shown.
The parameters MIN. VALUE, MAX. VALUE and MIN. R^2 are deactivated entering a zero value.

5.4.14 Calculation procedure 14 (C/F Delta)
Method at which a difference of sample E2 – E1 is measured several times depending on the quantity of
samples. In the first course the samples E1 (maximum 25) will be measured, optionally with or without sample
blank. After a user defined measure time the samples E2 will be measured in a second course. Attention should
be paid to the order within the series to avoid errors. The procedure corresponds to a fixed time kinetic and can
only be processed using the standard cuvette adaptor.
Quality control samples can not be saved.
This calculation procedure has special parameters that allow a time controlled measuring process. These
parameters are: time/delta T1, measure time T2, delay T3, reagent time #2 and reagent time #3. By setting a
time/delta (value between 10s and 255s) the other parameters for the time controlled measuring will be used. In
the time controlled mode the quantity of samples is determined by the measure time and the time/delta, e.g.
with a measure time of 60s and a time/delta of 10s it is possible to measure 6 samples (without sample blank).
The measure time should be chosen greater than or equal to the time/delta.
At the beginning of the method the use of a sample blank is queried.
After the blank is measured the time controlled measuring process will be started with [RESULT]. With a
combination of acoustic signals and text messages on the display the Photometer takes control of the timing for
the whole measuring. The measurement of the samples E1 can be finished at any time with [E1/E2]. In the
second course will be so many samples measured as in the first course.
Before starting a new E1/E2 course a new zero measurement has to be done.
The reagent time #3 is usable only if the reagent time #2 is set. In that case the reagent mode will be entered,
i.e. the photometer also takes control of the timing for dispensing the reagent before measuring the samples.
The quantity of samples will be determined by the reagent time #2 and the time/delta. The reagent time #2
should be chosen less than or equal to the reagent time #3 and greater than or equal to the time/delta.

T3 and without reagent time.

7.2.6 Quality control
In Photometer 5010 up to 50 methods can be supervised with a quality control. The device can manage up to 6
control serums. Each QC supervised method can be connected with 2 control serums. The QC data of a series
of measurements are stored in a daily memory. Each reading is stored with method number, date and user
identification. From the daily memory the individual QC data can become deleted or saved in the monthly
memory of the corresponding method. The monthly memory of a QC method can record up to 31 readings. With
the 32nd the oldest reading is deleted in the memory. For the calculation of the quality values of a method at
least 20 readings in the monthly memory must be present. The average of all readings, the standard deviation
and the coefficient of variation are calculated. Contents of the daily and monthly memory can be indicated and
printed out.
Except the basic methods all methods can be connected with a quality control. The method-typical data of a
control serum are entered via the method editor (see chapter 6 METHOD EDITOR).

8 MAINTENANCE
This chapter provides necessary information concerning general maintenance by the user.
If any faults should occur which cannot be remedied, then service should be contacted. Repairs at the
device may be carried out only by authorized specialist staff. Through improper repairs the warranty extinguishes, and the user can be heavily jeopardized.
8.1 CLEANING INSTRUCTION
Liquid waste is potentially biologically hazardous. Always wear gloves if handling those materials. Do not
touch parts of the device other than those specified. Consult the laboratory protocol for handling biohazardous
materials.
Take care that no liquid enters the device! There is no protection against penetrating of liquids
(Code IP X0). Check from time to time that the tubing and the connections are leakproof.
The flow-through system of the Photometer 5010 has to be washed with dist. water regularly before and after
measuring 2 – 3 times. Depending on sample material and reagent, and always at the end of a working day, the
Photometer 5010 has to be cleaned additionally with a phosphate-free detergent, e.g. with approx. 5ml of
Biogent-A (REF 5010-024), and afterwards rinsed with 5ml distilled water.
Persistent residues are to be removed with a combined alkaline-acid treatment. The following procedure is
advised step by step:
1. 5 x wash with NaOH 1 N
2. 5 x rinse with dist. water
3. 5 x wash with HCl 0.5 N
4. 5 x rinse with dist. water
If the system is contaminated severely, it may alternatively be cleaned with hypochlorite. The following procedure is advised step by step:
1. 5 x rinse with dist. water
2. 2 – 3 x wash with hypochlorite (1:20 diluted solution) or ISE Cleaning Solution,
undiluted, let it possibly affect up to 20 minutes
3. 5-10 x rinse with dist. water
For device cleaning and surface decontamination purposes use commercial decontaminating solution which are
usually available in clinical chemistry laboratories like Mikrozid
similar solutions. Switch off the device and disconnect it from the mains voltage. Then clean the device with soft
cloth and decontaminating solution.
Empty the drain tank at the end of daily measurement, or whenever filled.
