Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION

1-1-1 Features

■Compact and lightweight design

The footprint of the SP-4430 is as small as that of a notebook computer. It weighs only 5 kg and can be easily carried by one person. The small unit contains various components such as a display, printer, 1- sample centrifuge and automatic tip disposal mechanism. No water supply or drainage system is required, therefore it is suitable for examinations in schools or bedside in hospitals. Power consumption is greatly reduced.

■Energy-saving design

■Automatic Sampling

■Built-in centrifuge for 1 sample

■Simple calibration using magnetic cards

■Sample Control by Bar code

■Online Network through two-way Transmission

Power consumption per 1 hour is approximately 50 W on average (AC 100V, 60Hz when continuous measurements are conducted).

The analyzer automatically absorbs samples set on the Centrifuge-equipped Multi Rack and drops them on reagent strips. Manual operation is not necessary, so that the sampling amount becomes constant and stable measurement results can be obtained.

The analyzer has a built-in centrifuge for 1 sample. By placing the whole blood sample in the centrifuge tube and setting it on the Centrifuge-equipped Multi Rack, the operation, centrifugation suction sampling is conducted automatically. This saves centrifugation of whole blood samples before measurement.

Calibration using magnetic cardsReagent Card are provided with the Reagent Stripsis possible, without using the SPOTCHEM Calibrator Kit. By inserting magnetic cards into the magnetic card reader, differences between reagent strip lot number and daily deviations are automatically calibrated.

Optional Hand-held Bar Code Reader is available. By reading the bar code of each sample, the bar code is automatically allocated as patient ID.

With the optional Data Management Software and external devices, remote control of measurement results and remote update of parameter settings are possible.

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION

1-1-2 Measurement principles

The light emitted from LED becomes monochromatic light of a certain wavelength after passing through an optical fiber (Five different types of optical filters are provided, and the optimum wavelength is selected for each test item). Monochromatic light is separated and transmitted to the photometry section of each channel by ten optical fibers.

In each photometry section, the monochromatic light transmitted by the optical fibers is irradiated on the reagent fields, which has a color reaction after sampling. Its reflected light is read with 2 photodiodes, and the system calculates measurement results by end-point assay (EPA) or reaction-rate assay (RRA).

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION

Before setting up the analyzer, read the following notes and always take proper safety precautions.

Do NOT set up the analyzer where chemicals are stored nearby, or where corrosive gases or electrical noise are generated. They may damage the analyzer, and malfunctions and/or injury may occur. Correct measurement results may not be obtained.

Avoid exposing the analyzer to direct sunlight, condensation and wind. Otherwise, correct measurement results may not be obtained, and may cause deformation or malfunction of the analyzer.

To connect the analyzer to external devices, be sure to use proper cables to avoid electric shock and/or fire. For details, contact your distributor.

Place the analyzer in a room at temperatures between 10 and 30 with humidity between 20% and 80%. Otherwise, correct measurement results may not be obtained.

Make sure that the room is well ventilated when a large amount of carbon dioxide is generated (when gas stoves, oil heaters and instantaneous water heaters are used in the room). This is because the pH of the Reagent Strips, which use an alkaline reaction reagent, decreases under the influence of carbon dioxide and correct measurement data may not be obtained.

Be careful not to be put hands under the analyzer.

Chapter 2 MEASUREMENT

2-2-2 Handling samples

Blood is used as a measurement sample with this analyzer. Be aware that blood may be contaminated with pathogenic microbes that may cause infectious disease. Exercise utmost care whenever handling blood. Incorrect or imprecise procedures may result in exposure to pathogenic microbes.

Handling samples slightly differs depending on test items. Follow the instructions on the package insert of SPOTCHEM Reagent Strips.

2-2-3 Handling Reagent Strips

Do NOT use expired Reagent Strips or deteriorated strips of which the reagent fields show any sign of discoloration or deformation, even if they are before the expiration date. Correct measurement results may not be obtained.

Take Reagent Strips out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before measurement and allow them to reach room temperature (10 to 30 ). Otherwise, correct measurement results may not be obtained.

Open a reagent strip package immediately before use. If the opened reagent strip is left for a while, it will absorb water from the air or gather dust, which may result in incorrect measurement results.

Do NOT touch the reagent field on the strip with fingers. Sebum on the reagent field may result in incorrect measurement results.

When a new reagent strip box is opened, perform calibration by magnetic card using the supplied Reagent Card (see 2-5-2).

Chapter 2 MEASUREMENT

2-2-6 Handling centrifuges

Pipette 250 to 270 whole blood into the centrifuge tube. Insufficient sample volume may result in incorrect measurement results. Excessive volume may cause blood to stain the cover.

When it takes time before blood samples collected are brought into the centrifuge, the samples may begin to coagulate. The samples, which show heavy coagulation or deposition of fibrin, may not be subjected to measurement.

A syringe containing heparin can be used to prevent coagulation when it takes time before the samples are brought into the centrifuge, although the machinecontains heparin.

Heparin is contained as an anticoagulant. Close the cap tightly after setting a sample, and invert it and use the sample after removing the cap.

Remove air bubbles or skin on the surface of the sample, if any. Otherwise they may cause incorrect measurement results.

Wipe out the sample attached to the outside of centrifuge tube before placing it to the centrifuge, otherwise it may cause spattering the sample.

Samples with extremely high hematocrit levels may yield incorrect measurement results.

2-3-4 Preparation of samples

The required volume of a serum or plasma sample is“6x (number of test items)+38 ”.For example, the required volume for 5 test items is : 6 x 5 + 38 = 68 .

A Serum or Whole blood Sample Tube has 2 lines marked on it for 100 and 500 .

IMPORTANT

The Whole blood Sample Tube contains heparin as an

anticoagulant.

Prepare samples as described below except for Hb and HDL-C, which require different procedures (see pages 2-16 and 2-17 for sample preparation for Hb and HDL-C). Test items may be added or changed in the future. Read the package insert of SPOTCHEM Reagent Strips carefully for details on handling samples.

Wear protective gloves to prevent exposure to pathogenic microbes.

Serum or plasma sample.

Prepare a Serum Sample Tube (blue cap).

Pipette serum or plasma. If measurement is not performed immediately, cap the tube to prevent contamination or evaporation.

Remove any air bubbles or skin on the surface of the sample.

They may cause incorrect measurement results.

Whole blood.

Prepare a Whole blood Sample Tube (orange cap).

Uncap the tube and pipette whole blood.

Cap the tube tightly.

Invert the sample 5 to 6 times (see

“Inverting a sample” on the next page).

Chapter 2 MEASUREMENT

Even if the sample stays at the bottom after being inverted, heparin is well mixed with the sample. Do NOT shake the tube vigorously.

NOTE

IMPORTANT

Inverting a sample to mix

1 Gently invert a sample tube.

2 In 3 seconds, invert the sample again.

3 Wait for 3 seconds, and invert it again.

4 Repeat the above procedure several times.

To use a whole blood sample tube, prepare a centrifuge.

When using an optionally available

centrifuge , carefully read the

operating manual of the centrifuge.

Place the samples in the centrifuge taking rotor balance into consideration (see the block below).

Centrifuge the samples for 3 minutes or more. It is not necessary to remove the supernatant from the centrifuged samples. Uncap the tubes and place them directly in the sample rack.

Remove any air bubbles or skin on the surface of the sample.

They may cause incorrect measurement results.

Ensuring rotor balance

Place sample tubes symmetrically against the rotation axis as illustrated at right. For centrifugation of 1 or 5 samples, use a dummy tube filled with an equal amount of water to make a total of 2 or 6 sample tubes.

Prepare a centrifuge.

Uncap the tube and pipette 250 of heparinized whole blood or plain blood into the centrifuge tube.

The centrifuge tube includes Heparin as an anticoagulant.

Close the cap tightly after setting a sample, and invert it.

Use the sample after removing the cap.

Wipe out the sample attached to the outside of centrifuge tube before placing it to the centrifuge, otherwise it may spattering the sample.

Place samples in the centrifuge ( see“ 2-4-1

Normal measurement”).

IMPORTANT		Remove any air bubbles or skin on the surface of
		the sample. They may cause incorrect measurement

		results.
		Wipe out the sample attached to the outside of
		centrifuge tube before placing it to the centrifuge,
		otherwise it may cause spattering the sample .


IMPORTANT		The samples may coagulate when it takes time
		before the samples collected are brought into the

		machine. Those showing heavy coagulation or
		deposition of fibrin sometimes can not be measure.
		A syringe containing heparin can be used to
		prevent coagulation when it takes time before the
		samples are brought into the centrifuge, although
		the machine contains heparin.
