Introduction
2.1 Brief Description of the Operational Characteristics of the
AMAX CS-190
• The AMAX CS-190 is a fully automated coagulation instrument.
• The AMAX CS-190 is used for measuring the in-
vitro coagulation times. Both plasma and whole
blood samples can be used.
• The instrument features an optical and a
mechanical measuring unit.
• In addition to the clotting tests, chromogenic
(kinetic) tests can be carried out by using the
optical measuring unit.
• The measured results can be converted to concentration or activity data with the
help of storable standard curves.

• The PC identifies and stores patient samples and data.
• The samples are aspirated from their primary
containers with a needle by way of the XYZZrobot probe. Then the samples are mixed in a
measuring cuvette with either a reagent and/or a
buffer. After that the samples are incubated in the
incubation rail (12 incubation slots).
• At the end of the incubation period, the XYZZrobot moves the cuvette into the optical or
mechanical measuring unit.

• After the addition of the starting reagent by the XYZZ-robot, the coagulation time is
measured.
• Reagents, volumina and incubation periods can be programmed individually.
• Measured results and their calculations can be printed out in a protocol and stored
simultaneously in the PC’s patient archive.
• In addition, the results can be transferred to an external EDP (laboratory EDP) via
bidirectonial data transfer.

Measuring Methods
The AMAX CS-190 features a mechanical and an optical measuring unit.
The mechanical measuring unit has 4 measuring cells which work with the ball method.
The optical measuring unit (photometer) has 4 measuring channels for measurement of
the optical density. The wavelength of the light is 405nm.
The necessary total volumes for the measurements are:
• Mechanical measuring mode,
• Optical measuring mode
• Maximum volume (mechanical, optical): 600µl
The individual measuring modes are described on the following pages.
minimum volume: 75µl
, minimum volume: 150µl

6.1 Mechanical Measuring Mode
The time between the addition of the starting reagent and the beginning of the
formation of fibrin is measured.
The sample and if necessary the reagent and/or buffer are pipetted into a measuring
cuvette. After the incubation time it is placed into one of the mechanical measuring
channels automatically.
There is a special steel ball on the bottom of the cuvette.
With the addition of the starting reagent, the cuvette starts to rotate around its
longitudinal axes while the ball is held in a certain position by a magnet.
As coagulation begins, the ball is removed from its position by the forming fibrin
threads, because the force of the magnet is overcome. A sensor detects the change of
the ball’s position and ends time measurement.

In order to detect very unstable clots with the mechanical method, the continuous
rotation of the cuvette can be changed to a rotation with intervals after a predefined
time.
In the example on Pic 6.1.2, the continuous movement is switched to interval
movement after 25.6s. During the intervals, which prolong automatically, a clot cannot
be detected, but it has time to stabilise itself. The CV rises in dependence with the
length of the interval.

6.2 Optical Measuring Mode (Clotting)
The time between the addition of the starting reagent and the beginning of the
formation of fibrin is measured.
The sample and if necessary the reagent and/or buffer are pipetted into a measuring
cuvette. After the incubation time it is placed into one of the optical measuring channels
automatically.
The timing begins with the addition of the starting reagent. The intensity of the light
beam that passes through the cuvette is monitored by a sensor. When clots are
forming, the sample/reagent mixture becomes cloudy and the intensity of the light
reaching the sensor decreases (turbidimetrical measurement).
As soon as the change in the optical density reaches a pre-set threshold, the time
measurement stops.

6.3 Optical Measuring Mode (Chromogenic)
The rate of absorbance change is measured at predetermined intervals.
Sample and reagent are pipetted into a measuring cuvette and placed into one of the
optical measuring channels. After the addition of the starting reagent, measurements
are taken in defined intervals.
A monochrome light beam (405nm) passes through the cuvette. The change in optical
density is measured by a sensor behind the cuvette at pre-defined intervals (kinetic
measurement).
The values of change in mE/t are further mathematically processed.

Subassemblies
Upper structure (123290)
Side casing left (123289)
Working area (123292)
The supply voltage should be turned on. The theoretical value of the heating is adjusted
with potentiometer R27.
1¬ = approx. + 1.0°C / 1« = approx. - 1.0°C
As long as the light-emitting diode LED V4 is lit, the heating is active and the
temperature rises. The current temperature can be measured in the cuvettes using the
liquid thermometer.
The temperature should be at 37.5°C ± 0.3°C when
LED V4 goes out (after approx. 15 minutes).
The adjustment process is complete when the temperature of each cuvette is constant.
After successful adjustment, the measuring block has a temperature of approx. 38.5°C.
The temperature if measured on the sides of the aluminium block.
The adjustment can be carried out outside the instrument as well. The ambient air
around the instrument should not be too cold (avoid draughts).

Disregard can lead to malfunction of the AMAX CS-190!
8.2.4 Adjusting the Inductive Ball Sensors
The adjustment is carried out at the ball sensors (D10079).
The mechanical measuring unit should be operational before the adjustment. The
supply voltage should be turned on and the temperature should be adjusted correctly.
Otherwise, the temperature adjustment has to be repeated (see: Adjusting the
measuring block temperature).
An empty cuvette with a ball should be placed into every measuring channel. It is
important that all measuring channels are closed.
The voltage to be adjusted can be measured on the AM-S-HY board (D06201) at MP2
using a multimeter. First, a voltage of approx. 2.9-3.1 Volt is adjusted. The adjustment
is altered using the potentiometer in the ball sensor.
¬ = - / « = +
After an operation time of about 10 minutes, a voltage of 3.8 volts should be adjusted.
Now, in order to check its functionality, the
measuring unit can be started in the service
program.
After the measuring channels have been started, they are stopped by blocking the ball
using a non-metallic object. The LED V4 flashes once. It signals the stop-impulse.
When the measuring unit stops, the sensor system is ready for operation. The electrical
11.2

adjustment and functionality check should be rechecked after another 15 minutes. If
necessary, 3.8 volts should be readjusted.
Finally, the ball is glued solid in the cuvette and the measuring channel is started. An
oscilloscope is now connected to MP2. The X18 plug has to be disconnected from the
AM-M-SH board or the X1 plug from the PH-M-MB board in order to interrupt the
monitoring of the AM-S-HY board. Otherwise, the measuring channels would stop
again.
An amplitude of at least 1.5 volts should be visible.
After the measurement, the X18 or X1 plugs have to be plugged back into the AM-MSH board or the AM-M-MB board.

with approx. 200 µl water, are placed into the
incubation channel (1) (see Pic. 8.3.5.1).
The theoretical value of the heating is adjusted with
the potentiometer R22. As long as the LED V1 is lit,
the heating is active and the temperature increases.
The temperature in the cuvettes should be at 37.5°C
± 0.3°C.
The actual temperature in the cuvettes can be measured with the liquid thermometer.

8.3.7 Checking the Lifting Solenoids
Before aligning the cuvette magazine the function of the lifting solenoids should be
checked (stop pins for the 1st cuvette box).
The lifting solenoids (stop pins for the positioning of
the 1st cuvette box) can be “extended” or “retracted”
with the service program.
In the retracted position, the pins have to be sunk completely so that the cuvette boxes
can be transported over them without hitting them.
”Extension“ of both pins should happen at the same time if possible so that accurate
positioning of the cuvette box can be guaranteed. In addition, the lifting solenoids pins
should be positioned in the center of the “conveyor 1” plate borings. Should one of the
steps not be carried out correctly, the lifting solenoids have to be checked and
realigned if necessary.
IMPORTANT!
The lifting solenoids should not be turned on for longer

8.3.10 Alignment of the Cuvette Magazine in the AMAX CS-190
The alignment of the complete magazine can be carried out only when the incubation
rail (Q10005) has already been mounted to the instrument. The incubation rail has to
be mounted as far as possible in the direction of the amplifier unit and the cuvette
magazine. Now the alignment gauge (J01819) (gauge III, alignment gauge lifting
solenoid) can be inserted into the incubation rail. The cuvette magazine can be moved
after unscrewing the fastening screws (3 hexagonal headed screws). The cuvette
magazine is now adjusted so that both lifting solenoids (impeders for the 1st cuvette
box) fit closely in front of the alignment gauge. At the same time Ensurethat the
incubation rail gauge III of the does not protrude into the cuvette magazine. For
example, if a ruler or the alignment gauge II is put against the inside of the cuvette
magazine’s left side, the incubation rail gauge III may extend no further than the ruler or
the gauge II.
After completing the alignment, both fastening screws have to be tightened again.
Perform a function check by pushing the lifting solenoids downwards and releasing
them again. They should spring back from the alignment gauge without any delay.

8.6.5 Mechanical Reset Adjustment of the XYZZ-Robot
When the operating voltage is turned on, the robot moves to its reference position. All
XYZZ-units have to move: The Z-axes move to the upper stops in sequence, then the
Y-unit moves into the light barrier, then the X-motor starts moving. As soon as it has
also reached its light barrier, all motors simultaneously start moving abruptly in order to
check the belts’ tension. Then all axes move back to their reference positions until the
XYZZ-gantry comes to a stop over the incubation rail. This also is the home position.
Should the XYZZ-robot not come to a stop there, there are several possible reasons:
Light barrier(s) defect, safety cutoff has activated, belts torn, reset light barrier
recognition not adjusted, etc.
Example:
Disregard can lead to malfunction of and cause damage to the
Only one sledge moves, e.g. both axes move to the upper stops and then
the Y-axis moves into its light barrier.
Then nothing moves any more, the next unit should then be checked
(X-motor).
