RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS
The SF-3000 has been thoroughly tested before shipment, and has been packaged
carefully to prevent damage from shipping and handling. Reagents and options have
also been sent and will arrive at approximately the same time as the analyzer. Follow
these guidelines when the system arrives:
• Check to see that the arrows on the sides of the packages are pointing up. If the
arrows do not point up, remark this information on the bill of lading.
• Visually inspect the outside of the package for rips, dents, or possible shipping
damage. Document any sign of damage on the bill of lading, regardless of how
insignificant it may appear. This is for your protection!
• Notify your service representative that the SF-3000 system and its components
have arrived.
• Wait for your service representative to unpack the system and open the packages.
• Follow the unpacking and storage instructions provided on the outside of the
package. Special requirements such as refrigeration are clearly marked on the
outside of the carton and will be included in the unpacking instructions and
package inserts.

1. INTRODUCTION
The Sysmex® SF-3000 is a technically advanced, computerized, fully automated
hematology analyzer with many features, for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical
laboratories. The SF-3000 provides accurate screening for patients whose hematological
abnormalities indicate the need for further testing. In addition, it can contribute in the
diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of patients.
The SF-3000 has the capability of analyzing up to 80 samples per hour, and display 4
different patterns -- WBC 5 differential, scattergrams for white blood cells and basophils,
and cell size distribution curves for red blood cells and platelets, as well as 23 analysis
data parameters on the color LCD (liquid crystal display) screen.

3. INFORMATIONAL HEADINGS
3.1 NOTE, CAUTION and WARNING
NOTE, CAUTION and WARNING boxes throughout this manual are meant to get to
attention to important safety and operational information. Always follow the instructions
contained in the boxes. Failure to do so may affect the safety or precision features of the
SF-3000 analyzer. The boxes are defined as follows:
NOTE: Highlights important facts, gives helpful information, and clarifies
procedures.
CAUTION: Provides information on the correct operation of the SF-3000 analyzer.
Information contained in CAUTION boxes is crucial to prevent damage
and to maintain performance of the analyzer.
WARNING! Indicates potentially hazardous situations that could result in serious
injury or infection to laboratory personnel.
3.2 Document Conventions
The SF-3000 Operator's Manual uses the following conventions:
"Quotations": Screen commands, messages, and status information that the SF3000 system displays appear within quotation marks. For example:
"All Samples", "Ready" or "Input Password"
[Square Brackets]: Names of function keys such as control or operational keys,
number keys, or arrow keys that you select on the SF-3000 appear within square
brackets. For example:
[Enter], [Sampler], [2] or [↑]
Italics: Application names and reference material appear in italic form. For
example:
Refer to Chapter 2: Sample Processing.

INTRODUCTION
4. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The purpose of the SF-3000 is to provide accurate results on 23 parameters and to detect
abnormalities in the sample. To assist the laboratory in the screening of abnormalities,
the SF-3000 analyzes and processes the data obtained from the analyzer unit, and the
LCD displays and outputs either a POSITIVE or a NEGATIVE message for each sample.
A NEGATIVE message signifies that parameter values for the sample are within
acceptable limits and the sample does not require any additional verification of those
values. A POSITIVE message signifies that the sample is not within the acceptable limits
and requires further review and investigation. Proper use of the instrument requires each
laboratory to establish the acceptable limits for results.
The SF-3000 uses the optical detector block incorporating the semiconductor laser to
analyze the WBC population. In the DIFF channel, lymphocytes, monocytes,
eosinophils, and the group of neutrophils and basophils are analyzed to determine the
WBC 4-differentials using flow cytometry. Basophil determination and WBC number
counting are performed in the BASO channel. RBCs and PLTs are analyzed by the RBC
detector block using the DC detection method. HGB determination is performed using
the SLS hemoglobin detection method.
The SF-3000 consists of two major systems.
• Main Unit : Houses the hydraulic and electronic systems and their control
components. The unit analyzes, processes and displays the data
on the LCD screen.
• Pneumatic Unit : Supplies the required pressure and vacuum for analysis.

INTRODUCTION
5. SYSTEM OPTIONS
Several options are available to enhance system efficiency. Available options for the
SF-3000 are:
• ID Bar Code Reader : Reads the ID numbers of bar code labeled samples,
and inputs the numbers automatically.
• Color Graphics Printer : Prints out analysis results (cell size distribution
or Page Printer graphs, scattergrams) and hard copies of screens in
color or black and white.
Printing can be done both in graphic and list format.
• Data Printer : Prints the analysis data in ticket format.
• (Cap Piercing) Sampler Unit : Consists of a mixer and a cap piercer unit, and loads
up to 5 sample racks (50 sample tubes) that enable an
automated closed sampling system.
• Manual CP Unit : Consists of a mixer and a cap piercer unit which
enables a manual closed sampling system.

INTRODUCTION
6. SAFETY
The operator must follow the instructions in this section. It contains important
information to operate the SF-3000 analyzer safely.
6.1 General Safety
While operating, maintaining, servicing or repairing the system, follow all procedures
contained in this manual. The operator must observe all NOTES, CAUTIONS and
WARNINGS posted anywhere on the instrument or given in this manual.
Do NOT touch the electrical circuits behind the enclosure panels of the SF-3000.
Touching the circuits is dangerous and may give you an electrical shock, especially if
your hands are wet.
Use only designated tools and parts for service and repair. Substitute parts should never
be used, and the SF-3000 should not be modified in any way.
Keep hair, clothing and fingers away from all moving parts.
Install the Sampler Unit on a table or work bench to prevent the system from accidentally
falling.
6.2 Hazardous and Biohazardous Material
All surfaces and components in contact or potentially in contact with patient blood
samples should be considered contaminated. Use of protective garments and gloves is
strongly recommended when operating, maintaining, or servicing the SF-3000.
Do not touch the waste when disposing of it or assembling/disassembling the associated
parts. If accidental contact with waste or any other potentially biohazardous material
occurs, flush the affected area immediately with water and follow your laboratory's
prescribed cleaning and decontamination procedures.
Consider all regulations applicable to your laboratory when operating the Sysmex
SF-3000 instrument.
6.3 Reagent Safety
If reagent comes into contact with skin or clothing, flush it with water. If eyes are
affected, flush with copious amounts of water and obtain medical advice if necessary.

INTRODUCTION, Safety
6.4 Laser Safety
The SF-3000 uses a semiconductor laser unit. Though this laser unit is placed in the
shield box, the operator must observe all NOTES, CAUTIONS and WARNINGS
concerning laser handling.
WARNING!: DO NOT remove the shield box cover of the Laser Unit.
NOTE: This caution label is located
inside the Laser Unit Cover.
