Short Description of the InstrumentShort Description of the Instrument
The Elecsys 1010 is a Multi-Batch-Analyzer which analyzes
immunological tests according to the principle of electrochemical luminescence (ECL). This measuring system is
also called ORIGEN® technology. The emitted photons are
measured with a photomultiplier (photon counts).
STAT (short-turn-around-time) samples is possible outside
of the direct range of action of the MFA arms and rotors. Pull
out the control panel like a drawer, behind which the holder
for the above mentioned STAT samples is located. By
pushing the control panel back in, the STAT samples are
within the direct range of the pipette needle under the closed
instrument cover without mechanically or logically
interrupting an ongoing process.
Elecsys 1010 has two driving blocks for the sample/
reagent rotor and the incubation rotor.
Elecsys 1010 has all the modules and components
necessary for executing the entire analysis including the
measurements and evaluation. When operating the
instrument (e.g. for test selection and sample placement),
the user is guided by menus on the keyboard. Softkeys and
function keys can be used for interacting with the
instrument. Samples (both in primary tubes and in secondary
cups), reagents and calibrators are to be positioned on the
sample/ reagent (s/r) rotor. A special reagent bottle
combination (RackPack) contains the reagents needed for
a test. Each RackPack has a 2-dimensional bar code with
all data specific of the test. Positive user identification
(PSID) is possible with samples in primary tubes. With
samples in secondary cups, patients are identified manually
by using the keyboard. After reading the bar code, the RUN
is started and performed automatically.
CalibrationCalibration
Calibration
CalibrationCalibration
At the beginning of a RUN a calibration can be performed.
The system imposes a full calibration
-if a new reagent (with a new batch number) is put in.
-at regular time intervals (specific of the reagent)
This is done by calibrators specific of the test (normally 2
levels).
Quality ControlQuality Control

The instrument software contains all programs necessary
for the quality control. Data input, management and security
is done by using the keyboard.
Instrument AssemblyInstrument Assembly
Instrument Assembly
Instrument AssemblyInstrument Assembly
ELECSYS 1010 is a desk top model and is suitable for a
standard laboratory bench. The instrument can be loaded
from the front. The instrument cover top must be closed
during the RUN.
The sample/reagent rotor is divided into 6 segments. The
two outer trays can hold samples in so-called primary tubes
of various diameters and heights. Control and calibrator
liquids are normally also positioned in these trays. A
maximum of 6 RackPacks with 2 reagents and one bead
container each are arranged radially between the sample
segments. The two inner trays are provided for secondary
cups. The labels on the primary tubes on the two outer trays
and the RackPacks can be read by a bar-code reader
(BCR).
The rotor assy is equipped with toothed disks and LEDs for
controlling and checking the rotor functions. The sample/
reagent rotor is removable.
The incubation rotor is an aluminum block heated to 37°C.
It can hold 4 identical segments with 32 incubation vessels
each. These incubation vessels are small conical plastic
tubes that hold the incubation material. When preparing the
RUN, the user loads the incubation rotor with the 4 segments.
The incubation rotor is not removable.
Detection ModuleDetection Module
Detection Module
Detection ModuleDetection Module
The ECL measuring cell is located in the detection module.
The photomultiplier (PMT), which is shielded from
electromagnetic radiation by a special housing, as well as
the holder for the pre-amplifier and the high-voltage module
are located above the measuring cell. The magnet with the
drive for the bead capturing is under the measuring cell. The
magnet is moved vertically from below to the bottom of the
measuring cell by a motor/spindle unit. This internal
assembly is incorporated in a housing, which serves as an
optical, electrical and thermal shield. The optimum
temperature for the process of ORIGEN
®
technology is
28°C. Therefore, the temperature of the entire detection
module is set at 28°C.
MFA AssysMFA Assys
MFA Assys
MFA AssysMFA Assys
The instrument is designed to be serviced exclusively from
the front, i.e. all components can be taken out and exchanged
from the front.
The functional elements (dilutors, rotors, wash stations,
bottle temperature assys) have covers that can be easily
removed for service. The keyboard is located outside of
the closed instrument cover top.
FINAL 2.1 - February 2000
The MFA assys transport the
a) sample/reagent from the sample/reagent rotor to
the incubation vessels and
b) incubation material as well as ProCell and CleanCell
to the measuring cell.
The ProCell is a liquid required for generating the ECL
signal. CleanCell is an auxiliary liquid used for cleaning the
measuring cell and preparing it for the next measurement.

Elecsys 1010Service Manual
All components involved in the sample/reagent processes
are cleaned with system water.
Arms are mounted on the MFAs. The sample arm holds the
sample needle and the bead mixer. The sipper arm holds
the sipper needle. The LLD electronic system and the
contact sensory system (crash detection) are also located
in the arms. The assembly of both MFAs is identical except
for the arm adapters.
The contact sensory system consists of mechanical and
electronic hardware components. It records the contact of
the needle and the bead mixer with a solid surface, e.g. the
bottom of the container or a closed RackPack.
Rotation and lifting are controlled by toothed disks / vanes
and photo couplers. Horizontal and vertical movements are
normally performed in succession.

Elecsys 1010 has 2 dilutors. These are glass cylinders in
which pistons are precisely moved at a defined number of
increments. When going down, liquids are aspirated. When
going up, an exact amount of liquid is discharged by
displacement. The direction of the liquid flow can be
controlled by reversing valves at the entrance of the dilutors.
The dilutors are moved by stepping motors.
The two dilutors have different functions:

reagent process, the needle is internally cleaned with
system water by means of the rinsing pump.
The sipper dilutor is located behind the measuring cell and
pulls the incubate, ProCell and CleanCell in a defined
sequence through the measuring cell. Then the
measurement is performed. After that the needle is internally
rinsed with CleanCell. The needle is externally cleaned with
system water.

Run
This chapter describes processes going on in different
tests, e g. the placement of STAT samples during the run,
the automatic rerun and the system preparation after
start, as well as system evaluation at the end of a run.
Assay Protocols
There are 24 independent assay protocols used for
determining the pipetting scheme of tests. Further
protocols (no. 24 to no. 26) are used for checking the
instrument.
The assay protocols are stored in the system (max. 64)
and can only be modified and/or extended by a software
update.
In each test a minimum of four liquids, the sample itself,
reagent 1, reagent 2 and the microparticles, are processed.
The following abbreviations will be used for the liquids:
MP:Microparticles
B:Microparticles (test RackPack, assay RackPack)

6. Wait until incubation time i2 is over.
7. Measurement.
One step is taken after the other, allowing for the incubation
time. The last step is always the measurement.
The processing of these liquids is determined by the four basic
protocols 0 through 3. They define which liquids are processed
in which pipetting step. On the basis of the basic protocols, the
processing with pretreatment liquids (RO, RM or PS) is
defined in the protocols 4 through 23. Read the sequence of
pipetting steps within one protocol from left to right. The
example
shows the following sequence:
1. Aspirate R0 and sample S --> discharge both liquids
2. Aspirate R0 and the diluted sample DL from the first
3. Aspirate microparticles, R1 and the diluted sample

Pipetting Steps
Pipetting StepsPipetting Steps
The processing of the assay protocols is divided into four
pipetting steps: pipetting step 0, the so-called pretreatment
step, pipetting steps1 and 2, and the measuring step. The
pipetting steps are divided into partial steps (e.g. pipette R1).
The sequence of the partial steps is (regarding the liquid pickup by the s/r needle): R1, R2, B, S.
The pipetting steps / partial steps according to the assay
protocols are described below. The pick-up sequence
during pretreatment is always: reagent before sample (in
both steps).
For each pipetting step and/or measuring step, a generally
applicable step can be described. Figures 1 to 3 give an
overview of these pipetting steps.
Pipetting Step 0Pipetting Step 0
Pipetting Step 0
Pipetting Step 0Pipetting Step 0
In pipetting step 0 the sample is pretreated. It has one or two
increments. In the figure, these increments are called "Block
1 and 2".
-Block 1 is passed through for protocols 4 through 23.
-Block 2 is passed through for protocols 8 through 11
and 20 through 23.
Each block consists of
-aspiration of the separation air bubble
-aspiration of the pretreatment liquid from the sample
rotor
-washing in wash station 1
-aspiration of the sample
-washing and rinsing in wash station 1 or
rinsing in wash station 2, rehomogenizing of the
microparticles and washing
Rinsing and washing in wash station 2 with simultaneous
rehomogenizing of the microparticles can only be
performed one time, always at the end of a pipetting step.
The difference between block 1 and block 2 is the
aspiration of the diluted sample from the incubation rotor.
-In block 1, the sample is aspirated from the sample
rotor, and the samples are discharged into the first
incubation vessel.
-In block 2, the sample is aspirated from the first
incubation vessel, and the liquids are discharged into
the second incubation vessel.

Pipetting Step 1Pipetting Step 1
Pipetting step 1 is also divided into blocks and always
starts with block 1.
-Aspirate the separation air bubble.
In blocks 2, 3 and 4, reagents are aspirated. All three
blocks are passed through in the following sequence:
-Aspiration of R1, R2 or microparticles.
-Discharging of fluids after the last reagent has been
picked up and the sample pretreated with PS. The
sample pretreated with PS will be further processed in
block 6.
-Washing in wash station 1.
The assay protocols determine which and how many of the
blocks will be passed through in pipetting step 1.
In block 5, the sample is aspirated. The pretreated sample DL
is
-aspirated from the first incubation vessel and is
discharged into a second incubation vessel in block 6,
if it has been pretreated with R0 or RM in one
increment (see pipetting step 0).
-aspirated from the second incubation vessel and is
discharged into a third incubation vessel in block 6, if
it has been pretreated with R0 or RM in two increments
(see pipetting step 0).
If sample S has not been pretreated, it will be aspirated from
the sample rotor and discharged into the first incubation vessel
in block 6.
In block 6, the liquids are discharged into the incubation rotor,
and the s/r needle is washed and rinsed. If the sample has been
pretreated with PS, the aspirated liquids will be added to the
first incubation vessel (see pipetting step 0).
The rehomogenizing of the microparticles and the washing /rinsing in wash station 2 will be performed if in the
next cycle microparticles are pipetted in one pipetting
step 1.

and the s/r needle is washed and rinsed. The liquids will be
-added to the first incubation vessel, if the sample has
not been pretreated or pretreated with PS.
-added to the second incubation vessel, if the sample
has been pretreated with R0 or RM in one increment.
-added to the third incubation vessel, if the sample
has been pretreated with R0 or RM in two increments.
The rehomogenizing of the microparticles and the washing /rinsing in wash station 2 will be performed if in the
next cycle microparticles are pipetted in one pipetting

From the early stage of development, Elecsys 1010 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 expensive equipment is
necessary and service technicians are easier to train.
Also, a permanent technical improvement in layout and
components took and takes place for better productivity
and economic production.
On repairable modules the quality and function is always
provided by the manufacturer according to the latest
technology. This keeps Elecsys 1010 always on the highest
quality level.
The exchange price for modules will be kept on a low level
to guarantee repairs, on an economical basis.

Before maintenance procedures are performed on the
analyzer, refer to the warnings in Section 1.4, Potential
Hazard and Safety Precautions, of the Reference Guide.
All analyzer components that can come in contact with
biological substances are potentially biohazardous and
can endanger the health of an operator. Therefore, only
perform care and maintenance procedures according to
national, international and general laboratory safety
regulations.
Analyzer care entails all procedures that are periodically
performed by the operator. These procedures, listed
below, serve to ensure a problem-free run and thus the
correct operation of the Elecsys 1010 analyzer. Refer to
the maintenance schedule on the next page. The correct
operation of the analyzer can only be ensured when the
maintenance procedures are performed periodically.
Regular care and maintenance avoids analyzer
downtimes, failures, and measurement and run problems.

counter in the maintenance log of the operation software.
Prior to the disassembly, the cell needs to be decontaminated. This is carried out with the service software by
starting the „Cell Exchange" procedure. When the CleanCell
is drawn into the cell it needs to remain inside for a minimum
of 20 minutes. During this period routine maintenance work
can be performed. After the decontamination procedure,
part 2 of the cell exchange procedure can be started
consisting of first priming the cell with ProCell followed by
air. Then the cell may be removed from the instrument.
