2.1 RERUN SAMPLES

Follow the procedure below if the result of sample analysis is abnormally high or low.
(Reruns cannot be performed for calibration and control results)

2.1.1 Checking data

You can check the analysis data in the Review/Edit window.
Go to Request and select Review/Edit.

Review/Edit

The samples with yellow icons in the Order # column or asterisks (*) in the R column
have rerun flags. If you click the order number, the ordered test and information on the
measured data appear in the middle of the window. The tests with check marks (√) dis-
played in the R checkboxes will be rerun.

The colors in the Order # column show the following.

Gray: Untested Pink: In process Blue: Complete
Yellow: Data set has an abnormal flag and there are tests to be rerun.
Cyan: There are untested tests.

2.1.2 Checking reaction process

2.1.3a Flag settings

Configure settings for posting flags.

Press Abnormal value setting button to display the dialog box.
Use this dialog box to set Abnormal value (L1) and Abnormal value (H1) for Main (M).
If analysis results are outside this range, the analyzer posts flags “H” or “L” to the result
to indicate abnormality.
In this example, since the measured value is greater than 1500, which is the value set for
Abnormal value (H1), the analyzer flags the data “H.”

Abnormal value setting

In the initial analysis (M), if the data are outside the range from Abnormal value
(L1) to Abnormal value (H1), the analyzer posts “H” or “L” flags to the result.
For the reruns (using Dilute1 (D1)), if the data are outside the range from Abnor-
mal value (L2) to Abnormal value (H2), the analyzer posts “H” or “L” flags to the
result. (The settings for Dilute 2 to Dilute 4 are for immunoassay tests.)

2-3
2 DATA

Refer to the Calculation method setting in Analytical Parmaeter (Chemistry) screen.

The absorbance is calculated using the data M-DET.P.m (28) to M-DET.P.n (37). How-
ever, the data whose absorbances are 1.6000 or more (setting for Sample (u)) are not
used for the calculation. Since the number of detection points for the calculation is not
sufficient, the analyzer uses the data points back to M-DET.P.l. Even so, the number of
detection points is four. Since it is less than six, the analyzer flagged the data “u” and
“n.”

2.1.3b Setting reanalysis conditions

Configure conditions for reruns.

Use Reanalysis Conditions Set dialog box to set rerun conditions for M or D1 (D2, D3,
D4). (You can set multiple conditions.)
•M The same conditions as the initial run
• D1–D4 In the Reanalysis conditions dialog box, you can set up to four rerun
conditions. Normally, use only D1 for the chemistry tests. D2 to D4
are mostly used for analysis of immunoassay tests with multiple
dilutions. (Refer to the next page for Reanalysis Conditions.)

Reanalysis Conditions Set

In this example, if the data are flagged “H” (Abnormal value (H): 1 in the above dialog
box), the test will be rerun using conditions D1.
(If you specify multiple rerun conditions to one flag, the test will be rerun using all se-
lected conditions. If data has multiple flags, the test will be rerun using all conditions
selected for each flag.)

2.1.3c Confirming reanalysis conditions

Check the rerun conditions you configured.

Use Reanalysis conditions dialog box to confirm the conditions you selected for reruns.

2-4
 2 DATA

Reanalysis conditions

When you are using multiple dilution conditions, set them in the order of low dilu-
tion ratio to high dilution ratio: from Dilute 1 (D1) to Dilute 4 (D4).

If you set the conditions as discussed in setps (a) to (c), the selected reanalysis conditions
will appear in Dil.cond box in Review/Edit screen (P 2-1) when the result data is flagged.
You can start reruns immediately or you can change the Dil. Cond, save it, and start re-
analysis.

2.1.4 Automatic rerun

You can set the analyzer to start reruns automatically by using the following settings.
2.1.4a Rerun settings
Go to Setup and select System Specification Settings. (see P6-46)
Check the reanalysis settings in Basic System Operation Mode.
You must log on as ‘manager’ to access window under the Setup button.

2 DATA

Auto.retest
• N.A.: The analyzer does not start the rerun automatically. You need to start it
manually. The analyzer performs the rerun according to Rerun Flag. Settings.

• STT Retest: When the rerun is ordered, the analyzer automatically dispenses the
sample from STT and dilutes it according to the rerun conditions (settings in the Re-
analysis conditions dialog box), and then analyzes it. You cannot remove the sample
from the analyzer until dispensing has been completed. (SMP load NG)
Rerun Flag (When N.A. is selected for Auto.retest)
• Rerun tests: After the analyzer runs all tests, it reruns the tests with no result values
and the tests with rerun ordered. .
• Incomplete tests: After the analyzer runs all tests, it reruns the tests with no result
values.
• All tests: After the analyzer runs all tests, it reruns all tests.

The settings you have changed in the System Specifications Set window take effect
after you click the Save button and perform New Start in the BioMajesty startup
window. (Refer to P 6-46.)

2.1.4b Reruns
If you select N.A. for Auto.retest as shown in the example, you need to start the analysis
manually.
If the computer is connected to the host computer system, check in advance how the
host computer handles the rerun data.

2.1.5 Rerun data

Since the analyzer multiplies the rerun result by the dilution factor, you can compare it
with the initial result, which is the value before dilution. The results appear in the Re-
run val. boxes in the Review/Edit window in Request.

In the example analysis result shown above, the information on the data is as fol-
lows:
Sample vol of AMY: 1.3 μL
Concentration at the initial run: 10926 IU/L
Flag: H, u, n
(The absorbance is greater than the value set for Abnormal value (H1) and the
number of data points used for calculation is only four.)

For the rerun data that were analyzed using the D1 conditions, if the data is greater
than or equal to the value set in the H2 box for Dilute 1 (D1) in the Abnormal
value setting dialog box (refer to P 2-3), the analyzer flags the data “H.” If the
data is less than or equal to the H2 setting, the analyzer flags the data “L.”

Prozone check

The following example of setting M-DET.P and S-DET.P is for checking prozone. These are different
settings from those for calculating OD.
Example 1 Rate assay: As the following figure shows, the system compares both variations
from M-DET.P.m to M-DET.P.n and from S-DET.P.p to S-DET.P.r. (Apr and
Amn are variations.) If the difference between the two variations is big, the
system judges that the data is in the prozone and flags the data “P.”

If the calculated value Amn/Apr is greater than or equal to Prozone limit (for example,
0.35), the system judges that the data is in the prozone and flags the data “P.” (Prozone
judgment: lower limit)
If the absolute value Apr is less than or equal to Judge limit, the system does not flag the
data “P.”

Example 2 Prozone formula: If the calculated value Amn/Apr − K × Apr is greater than or
equal to Prozone limit, the system judges that the data is in the prozone
and flags the data “P.” The value K is automatically calculated when the
system performs the liquid volume correction. (Prozone judgment: upper
limit) (Refer to the right figure below.) At this time, the system performs
the liquid volume correction for the OD value at S-DET.P.r.
However, since S-DET.P.p and S-DET.P.r are usually zero, the system judges it
using the median of the data between M-DET.P.m and M-DET.P.n. (Prozone
judgment: upper limit) (Refer to the left figure below.)

in Setup — System Specification Settings (Password: manager), select
them from Request.test.range or Compulsory test analysis.
If this setting has been changed, the changed contents will take effect from New
Start subsequent to Save. See P 6-46.)

• Request.test range･･･In order to optimize the Analyzer’s throughput, serum indices are
calculated only when the serum indices are already required in a test
in the workorder for the sample.
• Compulsory test analysis･･･Serum indices for all of the samples are calculated. If the
settings for serum indices are already required in a test in the wor
korder for the sample, it will be measured as per the settings. If not,
the analyzer refers to the test set in No1 in Analytical Parameters
(Serum) window and automatically generates a workorder as set in
No1 to calculate the serum indices.

3.1.16b Register the analytical conditions of the test for the serum index measure-
ment.
In the case of setting Compulsory test analysis in 1 above, if the sample request does not
include a test available for serum index measurement, a request is automatically generated

- In the case of setting the other tests in No.2 and after, if R1 volume, Sample volume
(Serum) are different from the saline test, calculate the coefficients a to c for each
test, and set them.
Calculation formula a’={(R1+SV)/102}×(2/SV)×a (same for b’ and c’)
e.g.: Where 80 ㎕ to AST R1, 4 ㎕ to SV,
a'={(80+4)/102}×(2/4)×1128.90=464.84

Serum indices are calculated as follows:

• lipemia=a×ABS(lipemia measurement absorbance)
• hemolysis=b×{ABS(hemolysis measurement absorbance)-d×ABS(lipemia measure-
ment absorbance)}
• icterus=c×{ABS(icterus measurement absorbance)-e×{ABS(hemolysis measurement
absorbance)-d×ABS(lipemia measurement absorbance)}-f×ABS (lipemia measurement
absorbance)

③ Set Qualit.judge of chyle, hemolysis, and icterus to Not do, and set Digits

4.2 BEFORE STARTING OPERATION

4.2.1 Check the purity of water in the Pure Water Supply Unit
See the control panel display to check the water purity. The purity is shown on the dis-
play when the water is sampled. Replace the cartridge filter before the water quality de-
teriorates to 1μS/cm or worse. If the puritye becomes 1μS/cm or worse, the alarm will
go off. To stop the alarm buzzer, press the alarm button on the Operation Panel.
Clean the pure water bottle regularly. To clean the pure water bottle, close the faucet,
turn off the power of Pure Water Supply Unit, and then remove the bottle to wash it using
a sponge.

4.2.2 Check and clean the tips of probes (SPP, RPP1 and RPP2)
Cleaning method:
① Lift the shaft of the probe arm and manually rotate the probe into a position
where you can wipe the tip of the probe easily. When you rotate the probe,
be careful not to crush it against the V-block.
If necessary, remove the STT, CTT or RTT cover when cleaning the probe.
Alternatively, select Manual Operation in Maint. (see P6-３９) and double-click
16.SPPLR, 37.RPPLR-1, or 49.RPPLR-2 when the analyzer is in READY
mode. Click Move in the dialog box to move the probe to the preferable po-
sition for cleaning.)

4-4
 4 MAINTENANCE

• When you clean the tip of the SPP, move the SPP over the STT.
• When you clean the tip of the RPP, move the RPP over the RTT where reagents
are not loaded.
② Wipe the exterior of the probe with gauze moistened with pure water.

Cleaning the SPP

Cleaning the RPP1 and RPP2

③ Move the probe right and left to see if the tip of the probe can move without
crushing to the V-block.
④ Exit the Manual Operation window and select INITIALIZE to return to
READY mode.
You can also check if pure water is coming out straight from the tip of the
probe during initialization to see there is no clogging in the probe.

When cleaning the probe with the power of the analyzer turned off, the arm of the
probe may go down due to its own weight. Lift the unit and carefully move it so
that you will not crush the tip against other components.
During initialization, the arm of the probe goes down two to three millimeters from
the original position. After cleaning, move the probe to a position where nothing is
underneath before performing INITIALIZE to prevent probe crush against other
components on the analyzer.

4.2.3 Check and clean the mixing rods

To clean the mixing rods, wipe only the top of the rods using gauze moistened with pure
water.
Do not wipe the tip of the mixing rod as it can be easily bent.

Leak sensor

4.2.4 Check and clean the splash covers

Splash covers are mounted along the track of each probe movement in order to prevent
splattering water and reagent into the reaction cuvettes. If they are not clean, wipe them
clean. If you notice splattering of reagent on the splash covers more than usual, it may
be due to some failure of the analyzer.

4.2.5 Check WUD and RRV Top Cover

Check if the WUD is clean and with no leak and check if the RRV Top Cover is dry.
To clean the WUD and the top cover of RRV, use gauze moistened with pure water.

Flags
Setting the meadian of the cuvette blank values for all 231 cuvettes as the standard,
[H] or [L] flag is generated against the OD value that exceeds either +0.4OD or
–0.4OD.
[H] and [L] flags indicate that the cuvette is defective. Check the measurement
value for the cuvette in [RealTime Monitor] window.

⑤ After registering the cuvette blank values

- Abnormal cuvettes flagged with [H] or [L] are registered as abnormal cu-
vettes that should not be used for the analysis, therefore, will not be used
from thereon. However, please note that all the cuvettes are washed in
preparation for an analysis so that the ‘abnormal’ cuvettes may become us-
able again after the next wash and cuvette blank measurement.
- The cuvette blank is normally run for cuvettes that have been washed before
they are used in the next analysis. The result values of the cuvette blank are
compared with the registered cuvette blank values. If the new result value
exceeds 0.04 or greater in the OD value, the cuvette will not be used for the
next analysis. To check the cuvettes that are not used, click ALARM in the
Operation Panel and switch Disp.switch to Extend in the Extend window.

4.4.24 Cleaning Detergent Lines (WUD)

Reaction Cuvette Wash Mechanism
The blue-marked nozzles drain the waste fluid from the cuvettes first when cuvette wash
starts.
Then the red-marked nozzles discharge the wash solution in the cuvettes for washing.
The yellow-marked nozzlles aspirate the solution discharged into the cuvettes from the
upper part of the cuvettes in order to prevent overflow.
Over a long period of time, serum or reagent crystals may build up in the lines, which can
cause insufficient draining. When this happens, the liquid level may reach up to the
edge of the cuvettes. To avoid such problems, clean the drain lines regularaly.
If a waste fluid nozzle is clogged after suctioning dirt or foreign matter from a cu-
vette, it can also cause insufficent draining. Use a cleaning wire for nozzles and
remove clot by following the instructions in 4.6.36 Unclogging the WUD nozzles in
Maintenance in the instruction manual.

4.6.29 When the pure water tank is empty
If an analysis is performed without sufficient water supplied from the Purified water pro-
duction system, a warning is issued for lack of water in the purified water tank. If you
continue the analysis without replenishing water, air bubbles are generated in the pump
that supplies pure water to the components. This can result in a failure to sufficiently
clean the reaction cuvettes, probes, and mixing rods.
1. When a warning is reported for lack of pure water in the purified water tank,
open the faucet or turn on the Purified water production system switch. Select
STOP on the workstation to stop sampling and wait until the status of the ana-
lyzer changes to READY. If the error mentioned in (2) is not reported, the
problem is solved. In the Menu window, select Maint. to open the Manual
Operation window. Select 71: LWP to turn it to ON and check the LWP pres-
sure gauge. If the displayed pressure is around the range of 70 to 72 kpa, and
there are no air bubbles; then you can continue the analysis.
2. If there is absolutely no pure water left in the pure water tank and air bubbles
are generated in the pump supplying pure water to components, the “9002
LWP gauge sensor abnormal” alarm sounds. In the event of the alarm sound-
ing, press the SYSTEM STOP button on the power panel to change the mode
to WAIT. If an error message is reported, click ALARM. The message disap-
pears. (Do not select and perform INITIALIZE.)

4.6.37 Backing up system file to DVD

The analyzer unit program runs on Windows XP. The software consists of a program that
runs the analyzer, handles data and customized specifications. Make a backup when you
change your specifications since the specifications differ from one analyzer to another (It
is recommended that a backup should be saved in two locations.)

4.6.37a How to perform a backup

Use a DVD+RW or DVD+R as a back up DVD to save data. Typically when a DVD
backup is made, a folder for the date in which specifications are copied is created. When-
ever a backup is created, a folder with a date is added. While you cannot delete data on a
DVD+R, data on a DVD+RW can be deleted. Use the BioMajesty Startup window to
make a backup.
① Prepare a DVD and insert it into the DVD drive. Wait for a short time and then
click Back-up located at the lower right of the BioMajesty Startup window.

② In the Backup TOOL window, select Make a Backup Copy and System
Files omly (click to clear the Data Files check box),and check that the figure
in Total size is smaller than the figure in Space Available. Use a new DVD if
there is not enough free capacity.

4-43
4 MAINTENANCE

③ When you click Execute, the message “Do you want to make a backup copy
to D:¥ ～ ?” (if DVD is D:¥)appears. Click OK to start the backup. A folder
named with the current date,in which the specifications are copied, is created
in the DVD (D:¥) (20090627 for the window shown above).
④ When backup is completed, a message informing you of the completion ap-
pears. When you click OK to close the message, you will return to the
Backup TOOL window. Click Exit to return to the BioMajesty Startup win-
dow.
⑤ Eject the DVD from the drive, write down the date and version and store it.
Make sure to make a backup after performing an upgrade. If you have multiple ana-
lyzers, make a backup for each analyzer.

5.1 OVERVIEW
Favorable data can be obtained with high-speed response, high selectivity, and high sta-
bility as a crown ether membrane is utilized for the sodium electrode (Na) and potassium
electrode (K) and a newly developed molecular-oriented membrane is utilized for the
chloride electrode (Cl). Calibration can be started simultaneously with other chemical
tests using the dedicated ISE serum and the urine standards (Low and High). After that,
you can perform control and sample analysis similar to other chemical tests.

5.2 ANALISYS OPERATION

① Pre-washing operation
Pre-washing operation is performed if time has passed more than 15 seconds since
the last measurement (After measuring leading base potential)
② Leading base potential measurement
③ Sample potential measurement
④ Washing operation
Washing is performed to prevent sample from carry-over
⑤ Trailing base potential measurement
Operation finishes after measuring trailing base if no other sample is left.
Base potential is determined by striking an average of leading base potential and
traling base potential in order to use measured base potential to calculate concentara-
tion of sample.

5.3 ROUTINE OPERATION AND CALIBRATION

5.3.1 Start-up
Since the ISE unit operates in conjunction with the chemical analyze unit, start the system.
Prime is performed in synchronization with the INITIALIZE operation of the analyzer
unit. You can start analysis when the status changes to READY.

5.3.2 Calibration
Measure calibration every day before measuring a sample. Also, measure calibration after
replacing the ISE buffer solution, Internal standard solution, or electrode, and after main-
tenance.
5.3.2a Measurement
① Pour approximately 500 μｌ of serum ISE Standard of Low-STD and serum ISE
Standard of High-STD (urine Low-STD and urine High-STD in the case of
urine analysis) into sample cups and set them at the STD position of CTT.
Note: The STD positions and the container types are set in the Setup — ISE
Parameters Setting window. (See P 5-7). Examples at delivery are C-11, 12,
13, and 14.
② You can similarly perform the START operation simultaneously with the cali-
bration of the chemical tests. The ISE analysis is performed in the order of
serum High-STD and then, Low-STD (if urine analysis is to be made, urine
High-Low follows after that). Each STD is measured at least three times

5-1
5 ISE UNIT

continuously, and the number of measurement times increases one by one up

to eight times until the difference between the last two data falls within
Calib.clear.
Calib.clear is a value set in the Setup - ISE Setting window, and the default
value is 1 for blood serum and within 2 for urine.
You can perform Electrolyte calibration separately in the Maint.– ISE Opera-
tion window (see P 5-7 to 9).
③ If the electrolyte calibration is completed without an error, perform the calibra-
tion of chemical tests. (If multi-point calibration tests are performed at the
same time, perform measurements in the order of Multi-pnt. → ISE →
One-pnt.STD test.)

⑤ Calibration data error

In the case of a calibration error of electrolytes, an alarm goes off and the analyzer
enters the STOP mode. In this mode the subsequent measurements are not per-
formed. (If the calibration of the chemical tests were started simultaneously,
one-point calibration is not measured.) Be sure to solve the error before you perform
the calibration again.
1. Calibration error
a. Calibration Low-STD (or High-STD) error
If either of the STDs does not fall within Calib.clear in eight measurements, 4268
ISE Calibration HIGH STD Imprecision (or LOW STD) is shown. The data
may be unstable and vary.
(Calib.clear is a value set in the ISE Parameter window, and the default value is 1
for blood serum and within 2 for urine.)
b. Calibration range error
If the potential difference in measurement (sample potential – buffer potential) does
not fall within the set range, it becomes a calibration range error. This error might be
caused by incorrect placement of a standard solution, deterioration of the standard
solution, or deterioration of the electrode.
In the case of this error, the previous calibration result remains in the ISE
Monitor window.
If you perform the CV check using a sample before re-calibration to solve an
error, click Data transf. in the ISE Monitor window and select either Serum
or Urine to execute. Then, you can perform analysis using the previous cali-
bration results. After that, be sure to perform re-calibration before sample
analysis.
2. Slope abnormality/Dil.factor abnormality/Bias abnormality/Ref Electrode
abnormality
• Slope : Slope abnormality is caused if the range of 65 to 38 is missed.The slope
gradually drops as the analysis progresses. If the value begins to fall below
45, it is time to replace the electrode.
• Dil.factor…This is a Dil.factor value of a sample calculated from the calibration
data using ISE buffer solution. If the range of 25 to 60 is missed, “d” is
printed. This indicates an error. It might be caused by deterioration of
the standard solution or the buffer solution, or insufficient washing.
• Ref.Electrode…This is a control value of Electrode Ref. If the value falls below
500, the d flag is given.
In the case of this error, the calibration value in the ISE Monitor window has
been updated, but this is an error value and cannot be used for analysis as is.
If you perform START for re-calibration after this error, an alarm goes off
again and the message, 4247 ISE analysis command was rejected, appears.
However, since calibration is continued during the re-calibration, ignore it and
click the ALARM button to cancel the message. (This is only a message indi-
cating that the previous calibration has not been obtained.)
If you perform the CV check using a sample before re-calibration to solve the
error, click the Monitor search button in the ISE Monitor window, and select
a past date of measurement to display the calibration data on that day in the
window. Next, click the Data trasf. button and select Serum or Urine to exe-

5-4
 5 ISE UNIT

cute so that analysis can be performed using the calibration result. After that,
be sure to perform re-calibration before sample analysis.

5.3.3 Control, Sample Measurement

Perform the operation in the same way as the analyzer unit operation. If there are both
chemical tests and analysis for the same sample, dispense to ISE unit, and then proceed to
the analysis of chemistry tests.

5.3.4 Single operation of ISE module

If the analyzer unit is in READY mode, you can perform a single calibration of the elec-
trolyte or other operations by Maint. – ISE Operation.

5.3.5 End Operation

① Pour approximately 100 μl of ISE Detergent Solution into a sample cup and
set it in CTT.
The CTT position and the Container type are set in the ISE Operation win-
dow. (C-15 at delivery)
If this is set with a thick container such as a test tube, pour approximately 200
to 300 μl inside.
② Perform the end processing to the analyzer unit. (Electrode washing is per-
formed in conjunction with WASH2.)
If you wash only the ISE unit, execute Wash Electrode in the ISE Operation
window.

In order to shut down BioMajesty, fill the ISE Dil.Bowl with pure water before
shutting it down. This prevents the electrodes from drying out. Execute the Final
operation in the Maint. – ISE Operation window, or pour 1 ml of pure water into
the ISE Dil.Bowl with a dropper. In order to automatically end the analyzer unit, you
can set the End ISE operation in Shutdown. (See P1-20)
If the analyzer unit is powered on and the analyzer is used even if only temporarily
after the ISE end operation, water in the Dil.Bowl is drained.
Be sure to refill pure water in Dil.Bowl after that.

day before starting use.
① Take out the Electrode from the case and
remove the sponge inside the case.
② Place the Electrode to be aged in a plastic case.
(If the terminal has a cap, age both of them as they
are.)
③ Pour 0.5 ml of fresh serum that does not have
have any dangers of infectious desease into
the line of the Electrode. Press the dropper into
the hole so that the serum goes through the line.
Ensure that you can see that the serum went through the line from the bottom
of the Electrode.
Be sure to use the serum that is not antigenenic to avoid the chance of viral in-
fection. However, avoid using the control serum as additives may adversely af-
fect the Electrode.
④ Add ISE buffer solution until the entire Electrode is soaked.
⑤ Leave the Electrode for one night to perform aging on it.
(Do not perform aging for more than 24 hours.)
⑥ To use the aged electrode from the case, wash it with water, wipe it well (wipe
the terminal portion well), and then install the Electrode according to the pro-
cedure in step 7 below.
⑦ After you perform washing to the electrode in ISE Operation, set the CV
check to N=20 and execute it.
⑧ Perform calibration.
Electrode Ref and Electrode Cl do not need aging. Wash them with pure wa-
ter and carefully wipe their terminals before use.

5.5.8 Replacing ISE Electrodes

① Set to ISE-WASH-OFF.
② Open the cover at the sample dispensing position and loosen the screw on
the stainless cover at the upper part of the ISE unit. Slide it to the front and
remove it. (See 3. Washing ISE Dil.Bowl, (2).)
③ Remove the Electrode.
a. Remove the connector from the Electrode.
b. Remove the thumb-screw, incline the plate retaining the electrode, and take
out the Electrode to be replaced.

Thumb-screw Plate retaining the electrode

④ Mount the electrode.

(Use the aged electrode.)
a. Wash Electrodes to be mounted
with water and wipe them thoroughly
(particularly, thoroughly wipe the
joint portion with the terminal), and set
them in the correct order.
Check that the black O-ring is fitted on
the one side (the right side of each
Electrode as seen in the photo on the
right) of each Electrode at mounting. If the O-ring is missing, it can result in leak-
age.
b. Press Electrode with the retaining plate and move Electrode to the right
and left to make sure that there is no gap. (If there is a gap between Elec-
trodes, you cannot close the retaining plate.) Secure it by tightening the
thumb-screw.
c. Connect the terminal to the electrode.
⑤ Execute Initialize in ISE Operation window and return to ISE-WASH-ON. At
this time, make sure that the fluid is draining smoothly from Dil.Bowl and there
is no leakage.
⑥ Mount the stainless cover and the cover at the sample dispensing position.
(See 3. Washing ISE Dil.Bowl, (7), (8).)
⑦ Set the CV check to N=20 in CV check and execute it.
⑧ Perform the calibration.

5.5.9 Storing Electrodes

Store the new electrodes that are kept in the attache case in a dark place at a
room temperature.

If you are finished using the electrode, store it after washing it.
(If the electrode has a lid for the terminal end, store it with the lid closed as be-
low.)
① Cl, Na, and K･･･Store them in a refrigerator in a case containing ISE buffer
solution.
If you use the electrode again, take it out of the refrigerator at least 6 hours be-
fore and let it return to room temperature before using it.
② Ref･･･ Dampen the sponge in the case with pure water, place the Electrode
Ref on it, close the lid, and store it at room temperature.
Store it in a moisturized condition but do not store it in water.)

5.5.10 Long-term Storage of ISE module

If you stop the analyzer for 3 days or less, power it off, and then use a dropper to
fill the ISE Dil.Bowl with pure water (in order to prevent the Electrode from drying
out).
If you stop the analyzer for 4 days to one month, execute Wash electrode, and
then replace the Electrode with the Dummy electrode. After that, fill with pure wa-
ter using a dropper, execute Dil.bowl drain in the ISE Operation window, and fill
the waste fluid line with pure water.
Store the Electrode as described in 8. Storing ISE Electrodes.
If you stop the analyzer for one month or more, execute Wash electrode, and then
replace the Electrode with the Dummy electrode. After that, remove the buffer bot-
tle and replace it with a bottle containing pure water. Set Bufferprime to 50 times
and execute it, and replace all the lines with pure water. Store the electrode as
described in 8. Storing ISE Electrodes.

■ Setting condition for avoiding reagent pipette contamination.

How to avoid reagent probe contamination

The basic purpose of changing the analysis order for contamination avoidance is to main-
tain the analysis speed. If A contaminates B, the analysis order changes and a few unre-
lated tests are run between A and B to avoid contamination. The number of tests needed
to be run between A and B is called the Influence effect. If the number of tests that are
run between A and B is less than the Influence effect, or if the analysis order cannot be
changed, probe wash using detergent for contamination avoidance is performed. It is
also possible to select probe wash from the beginning so that the analysis order is not
changed.

A. Reagent probe contamination

ex.) Contamination pair ALT -> LDH

Influence effect: 2
Preventive detergent: REAGENT PROBE WASH-1

Analysis order

1. ALT → LDH → TP → ALB → ALP ALT immediately followed by LDH

↓
Bad data
2. ALT → TP → LDH → ALB → ALP ALT followed by LDH after 1cycle
↓
Bad data
3. ALT → TP → ALB → LDH → ALP ALT followed by LDH after 2 cycles
↓
2 cycles Good data
4. ALT → REAGENT → LDH → ALB → … ALT followed by probe washing with
PROBE WASH1 ↓ REGENT PROBE WASH-1 before LDH
washing Good data

*1) Analysis order is changed to avoid contamination.

When the analysis order cannot be changed, wash the reagent probes 1 and 2
with preventive detergent after ALT before using themfor LDH.

6-54
 6 USER INTERFACE

Settings for avoiding reagent probe contamination

① Settings for avoiding contamination must be configured for each R1 and R2
(Even when an test in Substance contaminating or Substance contami-
nated is one-part reagent, both R1 and R2 have to be set. If both are one-part
reagents, then only R1 has to be set.)
② Use Pure water, REAGENT PROBE WASH-1, REAGENT PROBE WASH-2
as the preventive detergents in this priority order (When any detergent can
avoid contamination, use Pure water. If pure water cannot avoid contamina-
tion but REAGENT PROBE WASH-1 or 2 can, then use REAGENT PROBE
WASH-1. If only REAGENT PROBE WASH-2 can avoid contamination, then
use REAGENT PROBE WASH-2.)
③ For a pair where pure water can avoid contamination, enter “1” for Influence
effect and “Pure water” for Preventive detergent (see 1 and 2 in the follow-
ing table).
④ For a pair where REAGENT PROBE WASH-1 or 2 can avoid contamination,
enter the number you checked in avoiding probe contamination for Influence
effect and select REAGENT PROBE WASH-1 or 2 for Preventive detergent
if the analysis order cannot be changed (see 3 and 4 in the table).
⑤ When Influence effect cannot be determined (contamination cannot be
avoided by changing the analysis order), set “999” for Influence effect and
select REAGENT PROBE WASH-1 or 2 for Preventive detergent (see 5 and
6 in the table).
⑥ You also have to set up the effect of REAGENT PROBE WASH (see 7 and 9
in the table).
When R2e (optional) is available and is affected by preventive detergent
(REAGENT PROBE WASH-2), R2e of RPP2 also has to be set up in addition to R１
and R2 (see 8 in the table). If this option is used when starting analysis from the
READY mode, reagent probes are washed with (Clean1) and (Clean2) before the
analysis. Here, you have to add No.8 in the following table because RTT2 is washed
at the timing of R2e. The analysis order cannot be changed in this case, so “999” is
specified for the timing of R2e.
⑦ You can also insert 2 or more washing processes between the tests (see 10
to 13 in the above table).
For example, when you repeat the washing process twice using the same detergent, 904
(detergent 4) and 905 (detergent 5) are available at RTT1, and 909 (detergent 4) and
910 (detergent 5) are available at RTT2, so you can configure and use the new deter-
gent settings.

■ Setting condition for avoiding RRV cuvette contamination

How to avoid RRV cuvette contamination

Examine the previous test in a cuvette to decide whether to change the analysis order or to
wash the cuvette with preventive detergent. When pure water can avoid contamination, spec-
ify the contaminated test as the contaminating test, and select Pure water for Preventive
detergent. If Pure water cannot avoid contamination, specify All test (900) for the contami-
nated test and be sure to insert the washing process. (Even if you enter a specific test for the
contaminated test, the data will have no problems because the analysis order can be changed.
The contaminated test, however, can be in the cuvette that measured the contaminating test
in the next cycle.) If the analyzer ends the operation after analyzing the contaminated test,
the cuvette has to be washed with preventive detergent before entering READY mode.

When the analysis order cannot be changed, wash the cuvette
with preventive detergent after ALT before using it for LDH.
*2 ) Analysis order will not be changed and washing is always inserted in some settings.
*3 ) When prevetive detergent other than pure water is used, do not change the analysis order and always
insert washing process.

Settings for avoiding RRV cuvette contamination

① Use pure water, REAGENT PROBE WASH-1, REAGENT PROBE WASH-2
as preventive detergent in this priority order (when any detergent can avoid
contamination, use pure water. If pure water cannot avoid contamination but
REAGENT PROBE WASH-1 or 2 can, use REAGENT PROBE WASH-1. If
only REAGENT PROBE WAHS-2 can avoid contamination but pure water
and REAGENT PROBE WASH-1 cannot, then use REAGENT PROBE
WASH-2).
② For a pair where Pure water can avoid contamination, enter the contaminating
and contaminated tests and make other settings (see 1 in the following table).
③ For a pair where pure water cannot avoid contamination, specify All test(900)
for the contaminated test.
④ When there are more than one contaminated tests for a contaminating test
(such as A→B and A→C), confirm that B and C can be avoided with the same
detergent and enter All test(900) for the contaminated test.

Analysis of blood cell components requires the use of a hemolysis sample that was created
with the reaction cuvette mounted to the analyzer. This hemolysis sample requires the op-
eration time for one test. Analysis of one test for the blood cell component requires the op-
eration time for two tests. Therefore, operation of the analyzer for only the analysis of blood
cell components enables 400 tests per hour. If, for example, the plasma component analysis

7-1
7 OTHERS MATERIALS

(with no hemolysis reaction) and blood cell component analysis (with hemolysis reaction)
are respectively regarded as one test per sample, operation with this combination enables
533 tests per hour (Analysis for the two tests will take place in the operation time for three
tests).

7.1.4 Analysis
The basic operation is the same as for BM6010/C.
When you perform measurement for a test (such as HbA1c) whose Sampling
position setting is set to Bottom, keep the liquid height of the sample in the
container no higher than 60 mm. For cleansing the SPP probe in the wash port, the
cleansing height must reach up to 60 mm above the tip.
7.1.5 Setting
Click Setup – Analytical Parameters (Chemistry) for the sample dilution condition set-
ting or the sampling position setting. (manager)

Following HbA1c parameters are preliminary.

7.1.5a HbA1c Setting

Set the HbA1c parameters as follows.

Also ,set the Diluent position on RTT1.Placethe Diluent on the position.

 7 OTHERS MATERIALS

7.1.5b Setting Dilution Conditions

① Analysis of HbA1c (blood cell component)
requires dilution of samples.
In the Analysis Test Condition Setting
(M) dialog box, enter data for Dilution
method, Undiluted sample volume, and
Diluent volume.

② For instance, in the case of a sample that

has already had diluted hemolysis per-
formed in an HbA1c test, dilution by the
analyzer needs to be removed. In that
case, you can conduct analysis by speci-
fying STAT/Cut in as Sample type and
No dilution as Dilution method as
shown in the window on the right.

③ Set the dilution condition for the control

material contained in the HbA1c Kit.

Note：
• Dilution specification-
Not do: Conducts measurement with the analysis conditions in Serum.
Do: Conducts measurement with analysis condition other than that set in Serum.
• Undiluted sample volume: Enter the amount of the sample to be used for analy-
sis.
• Dilution method: Choose No dilution or With dilution. With dilution refers to the
dilution method using RRV cuvettes.You need to set Undiluted sample volume,
Diluent volume, Diluent position, and Diluent volume from RPP.

7.1.5d Sampling Position Setting

Choose the sampling position from Top and Bottom for each test and for each sample
type. In the initial setting Top is set for samples to aspirate from the solution surface.
Sampling positions for the tests analyzing blood cells such as HbA1c require the position to
be changed to be aspirated from the lower part of a sample (Bottom setting).

As for Standards and Controls ,set to Top. Ordinary samples that have already had diluted
hemolysis performed are registered as STAT, and Top is specified as the sampling position
so that dilution by the analyzer will not be performed. See (2) in Setting Dilution condi-
tions above.)
* In the Sampling Position Setting window, under Gen/STAT/Priority and Con-
trol(A-M/N-Z), before slash “/” is the setting for the upper row and after slash “/” is the

7.1.6 Maintenance
Cleaning a probe and Checking a location
After finishing the HbA1c analysis each day, move the probe of SPP to a position where you
can easily wipe it, and then use pure water to wipe the probe.
1. Move the SPP probe to a location where you can easily wipe it, and carefully wipe the out-
side of the probe upward using gauze or similar materials soaked with pure water.
2. Click INITIALIZE so that the analyzer will enter the READY state.Observe the DPP’s
wash port from above, and make sure that the probe does not touch the wash port or the
washing water retaining plate when the probe moves downward.
3. Double-clicking 17.SPPUD in the Maint. – Manual Operation window opens the win-
dow for instructing the SPPUD operations.
When you click the Move button,SPP moves downward at the wash port. At this time
check that SPP lowers to the bottom without touching the wash port or the washing water
retaining plate. Clicking the Move button again will raise SPP. (This check is required be-
cause the SPP’s probe moves up and down at the wash port when SPP is being washed.)
4. Click Init. in this SPPUD window to raise it to the original position.
(See 2. Inspecting and cleaning the tip of probes on page P 4-4.)

SPPUD is IN0 OFF.
When an attempt was made to rotate SPP from the STT position （ENC.Pos6 position）,
SPP had not been raised to the top.
Cause: Because the vertical (SPPUD) operation of the dilution probe was not smooth,
SPP had not been raised to the top. （IN0 OFF）

■ Example 2: 6173 SPP sensed ISE Buffer height error

SPP lowered and stopped at a positon that was too high or too low.
Cause: The volume of ISE Dil.bowl in WARNING is abnormal.
Upon double-clicking, "Buffer Height:HIGH" appears which indicates that the volume is
too high.
As a result of this problem, after the transition to STOP due to "Remaining fluid in ISE
bowl error," SPP stopped its operation.
Consequently a unit operation timeover occurred, thereby the analyzer stopped in the
WAIT state.

You can identify the defective unit in the following way:

Example: 5034 RRV INIT during starting and SPPUD is IN0 OFF.
Explanation: When RRV attempted to perform the INITIALIZE operation, the ver-
tical operation of SPP was poor, resulting in an error.
Action: Lubricate the shaft with oil for the smooth vertical operation of SPP.
If the situation is not improved, contact your JEOL service center.
If the error explanation ends with one of the following, the operation of the unit
just described is improper.
