Question
9). State the purpose, uses, operation, calibration, and maintenance for colorimeters (include a block
diagram/schematic).
10). State the purpose, uses, operation, and maintenance for a flame photometer ( include a block
diagram/schematic).
11). State the purpose, uses, operation, and maintenance for spectrophotometers (include block
diagram/schematic).
12). State the purposes, uses, operation, and maintenance for blood cell counters (include block
diagram).
13). State the purposes, uses, and maintenance for pH/blood gas analyzers (include a diagram and
description of a pH glass electrode).
14). State the purpose, uses, operation, and operation for chromatographs (include the different
types).
15). State the purpose, uses, and maintenance of autoanalyzers (include system block diagram).
Problems
1). Refer to Figure 16-4b. Given V1 = +1.5mV with reference cuvetter and V1 = +35mV with reference
and sample cuvettes, R2 = R3 = 2.4 k ohm, calculate the voltage read on the meter display for both
condition of V1.
2). A nurse reports that a colorimeter that was previously working is now giving very low transmittance
reading for all blood samples, which portion(s) of the device would you check first?
3). A medical technologist reports that the Coulter counter model S in the clinical lab gives correct
RBC, WBC, Hct, and Hgb readings but incorrect MCV, MCH, and MCHC readings. What checkout
procedure would you use to identify the trouble source?
4). A nurse in the neonatal nursery cannot obtain accurate readings with an isolette oxygen monitor.
Which protion(s) of the device would you check first?
5). A medical technologist reports that a pH meter in the clinical lab has an output that wanders about
an apparently correct pH value, what part of the device should probably be replaced?

Part 1: Valsalva maneuver
Follow the procedures below. Save all data and make notes on experimental observations and
questions asked.

1. Place some gel on your wrist and obtain a signal for arterial blood flow. Observe the signal.
Perform a Valsalva maneuver, which is a forceful exhalation against a closed glottis. The
increased pressure that develops within the thorax decreases venous return and increases
heart rate.
2. Use a watch and record the change in heart rate over 10 seconds (deliverable).

1. Occlude blood flow by pressing your finger on the artery inside your elbow. Observe and
record the resulting signal (deliverable).

Part 2: Heart Valve Motion Detection

1. Position over the mitral valve (about 5 cm under left nipple between the ribs via the intercostal
muscles).
2. Listen to the motion of the mitral valve.
3. Move the transducer so it is over a rib, then between ribs. What happens? Why do you
suppose this happens (deliverable)? Part 3: Measuring Infusion Pump/Gravity Feed Flow

1. Fill cup with fluid (i.e., water, milk, soda, etc.)

2. Feed tubing through infusion pump and set the pump to flow at a velocity of your choosing. (If
you are using gravity feed bag on an IV rack, fill the bag with distilled water and clamp off flow
with tube clamp until you are ready to measure.)
3. Apply acoustic gel to the transducer and place in a fixed position over tubing.
4. Point in various directions to detect the best fluid flow sound.
5. Listen to the motion of the fluid. How does this differ from the artery sounds? Is the sound
smooth or pulsed? What would account for this (deliverables)?
