4.1 Measurement Principles of Colorimetric Test

4.1.1 Preparation for Measurement
Perform the following measurement procedures for the slides to be tested:
- Read QC cards.
- Read a PF card.
- Set sample racks.
- Diluent settings

4. Functions
4.1.2 Process of Measurement

By pressing the START key to start testing, the analyzer identifies the types of the sample racks on the
sample disk. Next, the analyzer identifies the slide information (test name, lot number) on the slide
cartridge. By using this information, the analyzer aspirates and spots the specific spotting volume for
the slide. First, the sampler nozzle moves to a tip rack to pick a tip up from the tip rack. Next, a tip
detecting sensor checks the presence of the tip fitting to the nozzle. The sampler moves and stops
above the sample fluid, then lowers. The analyzer monitors the change in air pressure as the tip
reaches the sample by blowing air, and determines the sample surface. The point of the tip is
controlled so that it does not enter deeply into the sample. The analyzer aspirates the sample fluid and
then dispenses it before the first spotting. This function is to keep the accuracy of the aspirated volume
for the first spotting and makes no difference with the following aspiration. The analyzer monitors the
air pressure in the nozzle and judges the stickiness of the sample. If a sample is abnormal, an alarm is
signaled. After aspirating, the nozzle moves to the spotting position, and lowers the tip to the fixed
position above the slide. After that, the analyzer dispenses a fixed volume of sample fluid to make a
round droplet at the orifice of the tip. The analyzer lowers the nozzle more to make the droplet touch
the slide surface, so that the sample fluid spreads on the surface of the slide. The spotted slide is
inserted into the incubator to be incubated in the closed space for preventing evaporation. The
incubator contains a heater and a temperature sensor to keep the temperature at 37 ± 0.2 ℃ . The
incubator also has apertures at the bottom of the cells. Through the apertures, the photometer
measures the changed color of the slide. The incubator reciprocally rotates and the analyzer measures
the changed color of the slide every 12.5 seconds. Every time the incubator returns, the reflectance of
the RBP & RWP and the incubated slide are read. The reflection density is calculated from the
readings. The analyzer has 7 wavelengths of the filter. The reflectance of the RBP and RWP are read
at 3 different wavelengths in the first turn, 3 more in the second turn, and the last in the third turn. After
the measurement, the slide is pushed out to the center of the incubator, and the slide is discarded into
the disposal box through the center hole in the incubator.

Optical fiber Interference filter
The analyzer uses the separated light of a halogen lamp through the interference filter. The light of the
halogen lamp is gathered by the condenser lens and collimated. The IR filter blocks the infrared rays.
The interference filter on the filter wheel separates a narrow band of the spectrum. After the collimated
spectrum is focused on the end of the optical fiber by the focus lens, it is guided to the photometric
head. In the photometric head, the light from the optical fiber is focused by another focus lens to
project equally over the reading area of the slide. The reflected light on the reading area is detected by
the photo sensor and converted into an electric signal. The signal from the photo sensor is amplified
with the head amplifier and the pre-amplifier. The signal range varies with each of the photometric
wavelength so the gain of the pre-amplifier is adjusted to make the output signal level the same. The
output signal is input into the A/D converter circuit. The output value after A/D conversion is compared
with the output value of the RBP and RWP, and the reflected OD value is calculated. The reflected OD
value is converted into an analyte concentration value using the pre-determined standard curve. In this
calculation, the information from the QC card compensates for the result. The analyzer has 5 kinds of
compensation methods:
(1) The compensation of correlation between FDC and other methods (a, b)
(2) The slide production lot calibration using the QC card (c, d, e)
(3) The compensation (Analyzer Calibration) of OD value (j, k)
(4) The compensation of analyte density value (l, m)
(5) The compensation using PF card

4. Functions
4.2 Measurement Principle of Potentiometric Tests

4.2.1 Preparation for Measurement
For PM tests, the preparation is fundamentally same as CM tests. Additionally, load reference fluid for
PM tests.
4.2.2 Process of Measurement

After the analyzer identified the slide as same way as CM tests, the analyzer picks tips for both the
sample nozzle and the reference fluid nozzle to aspirate sample and reference fluid. The analyzer
dispenses sample and reference fluid into the holes on the PM slide. After spotting, the slide is inserted
into the PM testing unit where the slide is incubated at 30 ( ± 1) ℃ . Six testing probes (3 pairs) rise up
and touch the ion selective electrodes on the slide for testing genetic potential. After completing the
test, the slide is disposed of into the disposal box.
4.3 Sampling
4.3.1 Picking up the Tip and Sealing
For the sampling of sample fluid, a disposal tip is used. The spot of the tip is waterproofed. The nozzle
is inserted into the tip using a fixed force and the joint surface is sealed with an O-ring. Insufficient
inserting force or O-ring defection due to damage or aging causes leakage between the tip and the
nozzle and may result in a suction error or a spotting error. Also, if there is soil something like oil on the
tip sealing point or the nozzle surface, it may cause the tip dropout.

Tip

4.3.2 Sample Level Detection

The sample level is detected by measuring the pressure change caused by blowing air from the orifice
of the tip onto the surface of the sample fluid. When the sampler nozzle lowers, the syringe piston
moves forward and air is blown from the orifice at the tip. A pressure sensor is connected to the suction
tube. When the tip is touches the sample surface, the sensor detects the pressure change. (See Fig
4.3.2.1) The sensor output is computed in differential calculus for increasing sensitivity. When its value
exceeds a threshold value, the comparator turns on and determines the sample level. (See Fig.
4.3.2.2) When detecting the sample level, the sampler stops lowering. The distance from the starting
point to the detecting point is memorized as the sample level position. After the first aspiration, the
decreased sample level is calculated with the previous aspiration volume to determine the next sample
position. The orifice of the tip is usually inserted about 2mm into the sample fluid. Be sure that sample
has no bubbles on the sample surface. Otherwise, the bubble membrane will be falsely detected and
the orifice of the tip will not reach the correct position, which may cause empty aspiration and spotting.

4.3.3 Sample Aspiration

During the sample aspiration, the analyzer pre-aspirates and pre-dispenses in order to moisten the
inside-wall of the tip before the first aspiration. This pre-aspiration improves the precision of the
spotting volume. Subsequently the sample fluid for the first spotting is aspirated. The aspiration volume
is determined by QC information of the slide. Aspiration errors caused by sample stickiness and fibrin
are detected from the pressure change during the pre-aspiration, pre-dispense and the aspiration.
After the aspiration, the sampler pulls up the tip from the sample surface at a fixed slow speed.
This prevents the tip from adhering to the sample fluid. If the sample is adhering to the outside wall of
the tip, it will cause a spotting error.

4. Functions
4.3.4 Dilution
The tests that require dilution can be performed by selecting dilution factors. Four different types of
diluent can be set on the sample disk. Select the diluent to be used for each test. The sampler
dispenses sample and diluent into a Fuji mixing cup, and after mixing, the diluted sample is spotted
onto the slide.

4.3.5 Spotting
The sampler nozzle moves to the spotting position and lowers to the spotting preparation position, then
it dispenses a proper volume of sample according to the slide information. The dispensed sample fluid
makes a round droplet at the orifice. (Fig.4.3.5.1) The tip lowers to a fixed position. Then the round
droplet spreads on the slide. If the position is too close to the slide, the dispensed volume is likely to
increase. If the position is too far, the dispensed volume is likely to decrease. (Fig. 4.3.5.2) The
spotting position of the slide should be the center of the slide. In addition, the position must match the
center of the photometric reading area when the slide is inserted in the incubator. If the spotting
volume according to the slide information is more than 15 uL, the sample is spotted as one or two
drops on the slide.

4. Functions
4.3.6 Tip Disposal

The used tip is ejected at the tip eject part to be disposed of into the disposal box. The remaining
sample in the tip often moves up to the nozzle because of the rapid pressure change. Therefore, the
sample nozzle dispenses the remaining sample of the tip during the tip eject process so as not to
pollute the nozzle with any of the remaining sample. (Fig. 4.3.6.1)

4.4 Slide Transfer

4.4.1 Slide Transfer from the Slide Cartridges
When the START key is pressed, the sample disk turns to the position of the slide detecting part facing
to the slide cartridge to read the slide information. Then, the sample disk turns to the slide transfer
position. The stacked slides in the slide cartridge are transferred one by one from the bottom to the
spotting position. Put a weight on top of the slides to press the slides downward thereby preventing
any miss-carriage of the slide transfer bar. The spotting position adjustments of the sampler unit and
the transfer unit are adjusted to the same position.

4. Functions
4.4.2 Insertion into the Incubator

The spotted slide is inserted into a cell in the incubator. If there is misalignment for the transfer base
height or the cell position, a transfer error will occur. The stop positions of the slide transfer are
adjusted so as to align the center of the slide with the center of the photometric head. The analyzer
performs photometric measurements when stopping the incubator rotation during the rotation process.
A leaf spring gives small force on top of the pressure plate to prevent out of slide position due to the
centrifugal force and the vibration caused by the incubator's rotation.
4.4.3 Slide Ejection

After the measurement is completed, the slide is pushed by the slide eject bar or the next slide to be
tested toward the center hole of the incubator and dropped into the disposal box.
If the number of the discarded slides in the disposal box exceeds the capacity, the slides are piled up
to inside the incubator to result in error.

Pressure plate
Temperature sensor Reflection reading aperture

Lower incubator block
The incubation works by pressing the spotted slide between the upper incubator block (kept at 37
degrees) and the lower incubator rotor. The incubator keeps the slide at this temperature and prevents
the evaporation of the sample fluid from the slide during incubation. The upper incubator is made of
thick aluminum, and contains a heater and a temperature sensor. It has pressure plates to close the
top of the slide tightly. Also, the roles of the pressure plates are conducting heat from the heater and
preventing out of the slide position. The clearance between the shaft of the pressure plate and the
upper incubator block is narrow in design in order to conduct heat. The incubator has a spring to press
the pressure plate on the slide. Owing to atmospheric temperature, there is a little temperature
deviation between the part where the temperature sensor is mounted and the slide. The analyzer has
an external temperature sensor near the sample disk to measure atmospheric temperature, in order to
compensate for the incubator temperature. The surface of the slide is shut tightly by the pressure plate,
which is covered with special plastic to prevent adhesion of pollutants such as gas which badly affect
other slides. The pressure plate must be cleaned regularly to prevent the adhesion of the pollutants.
The heater and the temperature sensor are connected to the control unit by a spiral-shaped cable
(incubator cable). The incubator only rotates back and forth so that the disconnection will not occur. If a
twisted cable is plugged to the socket, the cable may be damaged to cause a disconnection.
The PM slide is controlled at 30 degrees in another specific incubator.

4. Functions
4.7 Photometer
4.7.1 Lamp
The analyzer uses a 10w halogen lamp. The average life of the lamp is 1000 hours. The position of the
filament is designed to be the center of the condenser lens to obtain sufficient light intensity. The
surface of the halogen lamp during lighting is kept at a fixed high temperature so that the halogen cycle
may occur in an appropriate way in the lamp. If something like a fingerprint stains the surface, the light
intensity will decrease. The analyzer judges that the light intensity is sufficient or not by measuring the
reflection value of the built-in RWP at 400nm wavelength. If the intensity is not sufficient, the analyzer
signals lamp warnings or errors. The analyzer is designed not to start immediately after the power is
turned on, because the light intensity is not stable during warming-up.
When the analyzer is not used, the lamp turns off automatically to extend the life of the lamp. If the light
is turned off, a wait of several minutes is required before restart.
4.7.2 Blockage of Infrared Rays

Infrared rays from the lamp are blocked by the infrared cut filter (IR filter). Double wavelength light from
the interference filter is also blocked. Both 800nm wavelength light and 1010nm wavelength light pass
through the interference filter of 400nm and 505nm. This double wavelength light causes errors in the
optical reading.
4.7.3 Interference Filter

If the stop position of the filter rotation deviates from the correct position, the precision of optical
reading will be degraded because the light passes through whole area of the interference filter. During
the measurement, the analyzer monitors the RWP value to maintain the stability of the measurement
precision. When the value is unstable, the analyzer indicates photometric warnings. The interference
filter has a certain deviation allowance for the peak wavelength. The peak of the color spectrum of
some slides does not match the peak wavelength of the filter, so that the difference may affect the
accuracy of the test results. The analyzer calibration compensates for this mismatch by software
calculation.
4.7.4 Reading Head

Through the focus lens, the light conducted through the optical fiber from the light source is projected
onto the colored area of the slide. The reflected light from the slide is detected by 2 photo-sensors. The
difference between the center of the irradiation spot and the center of the colored part of the slide
causes a reading error. The size of the spot and its position can be confirmed easily by placing
something translucent, such as a paper sheet, on the base of the cell. The OD for the slide reading is
calculated by using the RBP/RWP readings. Therefore, the reading deviation is small enough for the
reading range close to the RBP/RWP, but the deviation exists around the intermediate range. This
performance is called "linearity". For some test names, this linearity affects to the measured value.
Therefore the analyzer performs compensation automatically for the specific test names. A glass plate
is set on the surface of the photometric head for protection. Dust on the glass plate also influences the
reading accuracy for both RBP/RWP readings and the test slide readings. Regular cleaning is
necessary to reduce the influence for the linearity. If the distance between the photometric head and
the slide is changed, the measurement value is affected. The distance between the lower incubator
base and the photometric head should be kept in a specific range. Because the signal from the photo-
sensor is low-intensity, the head amplifier is located near the photometric head, and the signal line
from the sensor to the head amplifier is highly insulated.
4.7.5 RBP and RWP

The RBP and the RWP are made of ceramics, and the OD value is predetermined at the factory. The
analyzer calculates the analyte concentration of the slide by using these OD values as reference. New
OD values must be input into the analyzer whenever the RBP and the RWP are replaced. The RBP
and the RWP sometimes are soiled with dust, smoke, oil vapor, etc. from air, so that periodic cleaning
is necessary.

4. Functions
4.8 Standard Curve

4.8.1 Calculation of ODr (Optical Reflection Density)
The Optical Reflection Density (ODr) is calculated using the following equation:
– ODW ( S – B ) – ODb ( S – W )
ODr = log { ( W – B ) ⁄ ( 10 – 10 )} ...(4.8.1.1)
Where
W: Measured RWP reflection value
B: Measured RBP reflection value
S: Measured slide reflection value
ODw: OD value of RWP given by the standard reflectometer
ODb: OD value of RBP given by the standard reflectometer
4.8.2 Calculation of Analyte Concentration Density

1) Method of End-Point
In end-point tests, reflectance from the slides is measured after a 2-6 minute incubation period.
When the measurement is completed, the reflectance ODr is determined by least squares of 4
readings.
The analyte concentration (Data) is calculated using the following equation:
2 3 4
Data = a 0 + a 1 ( ODr ) + a 2 ( ODr ) + a 3 ( ODr ) + a 4 ( ODr ) ...(4.8.2.1)
Where an is defined by the standard curve coefficient of each slide.

2) Method of Rate Test

The measuring time of the rate tests is between 2 and 5 minutes. When the measurement is
completed, ODr (OD reading in the Window of the test) is converted into ODt.
The Window is between 1 and 3 minutes (depends on the test name).
A cubic equation or William-Clapper equation is used for the conversion from ODr to ODt.
The rate of reaction v (v= △ ODt/ △ t) is calculated using ODt. The enzyme activity is calculated
using the following equation:
2 3 4
Data = a 0 + a 1 V + a 2 V + a 3 V + a 4 V ...(4.8.2.2)

4. Functions
4.9 Analyzer Calibration

The analyzer can compensate OD value or analyte concentration value. There are 3 methods of
analyzer calibration for OD value:
1) Measure the compensation plate and input the actual OD by reading the FC card (similar to the
QC card) through the QC reader. The compensation coefficients will be computed automatically
and stored. (Mode70)
2) Measure the compensation plate and input ODr from the keyboard instead of reading the FC card.
(Mode 71)
3) Input the compensation coefficient directly from the keyboard. (Mode72)
When the compensation is applied to the analyte concentration value, the compensation coefficients
are input from the keyboard. (Mode 74)
Each coefficient can be confirmed in the modes 72, 74.
When performing actual analyzer calibration, contact Fuji Photo Equipment Co., Ltd.
4.10 QC system
The QC system compensates the variations between Fuji Dri-Chem slide production lots. The system
can maintain measurement accuracy without liquid calibration as long as the slides are handled in the
defined manner and the analyzer's quality control is maintained.
The compensation is performed using the following equation, where X: Measurement value before
compensation:
2
Data = c + dX + eX ...(4.10.1)
Coefficients (c, d, e) are recorded on the QC card and one QC card is included with a box of the slides
(1 box includes 50 slides).
The QC card has information of the measurement control and the coefficients for the slide production
lot, therefore, it is necessary to read the card when a new slide box is used.
NOTE: The details of QC card information are described in Mode 102.
NOTE: The "e" value recorded on the QC card represents the coefficient e x 1000.
4.11 PF Card Calibration

When the measurement values for filtered plasma are compared to the values for plasma separated on
a centrifuge, statistical differences are found for some tests. The PF card contains information to
compensate the differences.
The compensation is performed using the following equation, where X: Measurement value before
compensation:
Data = aX + b ...(4.11.1)
Coefficients a, b are recorded on the PF card and one PF card is included with a box of the PF (1 box

4.12 Calibration
The Fuji Dri-Chem System requires calibration for special tests. At present, this function is used for the
CRP slide.
4.12.1 Calibration of CRP slide

Calibration is based on the standard curve, the assigned values of the calibrator CP-1, 2, 3, and dODr,
which are obtained by measuring the CRP slides which are spotted with CP-1, 2, 3. The standard
curve has been stored by a prior reading of the QC card, and the assigned values of CP-1, 2, 3 are
input in Mode 61. The values of dODr are obtained from the measurement values of the CP.
1) STEP1
The concentration values of CRP (dCRP) are calculated from dODr and the standard curve. The
dCRP is the measurement value before calibration.
2) STEP2
The calibration coefficients are calculated by following a linear equation so that the measured
CRP concentration values are converted to the values which equal the assigned values of CP1, 2,
3.
CRP results are calculated by using the following equation:
Data = g × dCRP + f ...(4.12.1)
The coefficients g, f can be confirmed using Mode 61.

6.4 Usage Precautions

6.4.1 About Power off
Do not turn off the power during test processing and the Mode operation, otherwise memory errors will
result.
In particular during "Saving" is displayed on the LCD, do not turn off the power.
The analyzer is writing the measured data and reprint data into CF card during the test process. Also,
the analyzer is writing the setting values into CF card during the Mode operation.
6.4.2 About PF Card

A PF card has 2 different types of the recorded data as listed below.
* Filtering control values (PF cartridge control data)
* PF calibration coefficients (coefficient data for calculating test value when using PF cartridge)
NOTE: Data can be changed and checked by using Mode 127.
NOTE: All of the filtering control values and the PF calibration coefficients will be renewed when a
new PF card is read.
The PF calibration coefficients which are not recorded in the PF card will be reset to (1, 0)
when the PF card is read.
6.4.3 Data Communication

Data communication for a host computer becomes available by using Mode 46 settings.
In the case that the communication cable is not connected or some errors related to the hardware
occur, the communication data will be erased. When the ready signal of the host computer is BUSY
(not ready), the analyzer will wait for the signal to turn READY. (Timeout: 10 seconds)
6.4.4 During Calibration

The following functions are not available during the calibration process.
- Reading QC card
- ID input
- Reading sample bar-code.
The analyzer does not transmit calibration test results to the host computer during the calibration
process.

CP70A board. If the program version stored in the flash memory (program work area) mounted on
the CP70A is not same as the program version stored in the CF card (master), the analyzer loads
the program files of the master CF card into the flash memory ( ① ) and starts up the loaded
program of the flash memory.
2) Both original data files and backup data files are stored in the CF card (master). Each time the
analyzer is turned on, the data files are copied from the CF card (master) to the memory mounted
on the CP70A board.（②）
The original data files of the CF card are verified before starting the copy process. If verification
errors occur, the backup data files are used instead of the original data files.
In the case that verification errors also occur in the backup data files, the recovery operation by
service personnel is necessary.
3) For the data collection, follow the process of "Data Collection (Sec.6.11.3)". The data files stored
in the CF card (master) can be collected and copied to an external CF card (slave).（③）
4) For the version upgrade of the program, follow the process of "Version Upgrade (Sec.6.11.4)".
First, the program stored in the external CF card is copied to the CF card (master) ( ④ ). Next, the
program is loaded into the flash memory of the CP70A board when the analyzer is re-powered on.

<Leak check logic>

(1) Pressure check of the initial condition (for clogging check in piping system)
The analyzer measures the pressures before syringe operation.
Either the + or - pressure is 3.0 [V] or more, the analyzer determines clogging error.
(2) Pressure check after the initial operation of the syringe (for clogging check in piping system)
The syringe moves to the home position (maximum aspiration position). The analyzer measures
the + and - pressures.
(3) Pressure check after the syringe's dispensing operation (clogging check in piping system)
The syringe performs dispensing operation (dispensing 50 uL). The analyzer measures the + and
- pressures.
(4) Decompression check
After the initial operation of the syringe, the analyzer (nozzle) picks up a tip (leak check tool) and
decompresses to the predetermined pressure.
If the pressure dose not reach under 1.0[V] after decompressing 9 times, the analyzer
determines error. (The volume of one decompression step is 3uL.)
(5) Compression check (Leak check)
After the initial operation of the syringe, the analyzer (nozzle) picks up a tip (leak check tool) and
compresses to the predetermined pressure.
If the pressure is less than 4.0 [V] after compressing 9 times, the analyzer determines error. (The
volume of one compression step is 3 uL.)
(6) Leak check
After the pressure reaches the predetermined value, the analyzer monitors the pressure for 10
seconds. After 10 seconds, the analyzer will judge the measured pressure.
If [the pressure after compressing - the pressure 10 seconds later] exceeds 0.8 [V], the analyzer
determines error.

NOTE: Although the actual pressure operation is decompressed, the following explanation is
described in compressing operation for convenience.
(1) ① Time until reaching 30mmHg from the start of compressing
If the pressure does not reach the predetermined pressure after 15 seconds, the analyzer
determines error.
(2) ② Time until reaching 140mmHg from the start of compressing
The analyzer determines error if the pressure does not reach the predetermined pressure after 15
seconds from the start or after 8 seconds from the 30 mmHg establishment.
(3) ③ Pressure after reaching the predetermined pressure
The analyzer stops the compressing process after the pressure reaches 140mmHg and prints out
the pressure immediately.
(4) ④ Leak pressure
Leak pressure (60 seconds after the analyzer stopped the compressing process)
(5) ⑤ Leak judgment
When the leak of ④ is exceeds 80mmHg, the analyzer determines error.

Summary: Measured voltage fluctuation exceeds the acceptable range.
Description: The analyzer measures the voltage after 30, 45, 60 seconds from starting a PM test.
An analyte concentration is calculated using a measured voltage of 60 seconds. If the voltage
difference between 30 and 45 seconds and the difference between 45 and 60 seconds exceed the

Description: The circuit as shown below is formed when the analyzer is performing the impedance
check.
4U +

8U +
4T
2/UNKFG 8T
Current values flowing into Rs and Rr are equal:

( V – Vs ) ⁄ Rs = ( Vr – V ) ⁄ Rr .... (1)
Therefore:
Rs = Rr × ( V – Vs ) ⁄ ( Vr – V ) .... (2)
Where:
Vr = 208 mV
Rr ( Na ) = 10 M Ω ....(3)
Rr ( K ) = 10 M Ω ....(4)
Rr ( CL ) = 100 K Ω ....(5)
Substituting these into the equation (2) gives:
Rs ( Na ) = 10 M Ω × ( V – Vs ) ⁄ ( 208 mV – V )
Rs ( K ) = 10 M Ω × ( V – Vs ) ⁄ ( 208 mV – V )
Rs ( CL ) = 100 K Ω × ( V – Vs ) ⁄ ( 208 mV – V )
Using these formulas, the analyzer calculates the slide impedance.
The analyzer determines as normal if the calculated impedances are between 0.1-fold and 10-fold
of the standard impedance (Na: 10MΩ, K:10MΩ, CL:100kΩ).
In short, acceptable ranges are listed below.
Na, K : 1M - 100M Ω
CL: 10K - 1MΩ
If the calculated impedance is outside of the range, the impedance error is printed on the test
result. (Example: ERR - 222)
Check Points: High impedance results indicate that effective circuit is not formed on the slide.
Sample and/or reference fluid may not be sufficiently dispensed into a slide. Check the following:
- Aspirated fluids (sample and reference fluid) in the tips are almost equal in volume.
- Check the spotting process that each fluid is dispensed into the spotting holes on the slide.
- Replace the O-rings if the analyzer cannot aspirate fluids normally.
- Check the spotting position onto the slide. Adjust it if necessary.

9. Troubleshooting
(3) Outside of the measurement range

(4) Impossible measurement

Summary: Outside of the voltage measurement range
The measured voltage is outside of the voltage measurement range (+/-100 mV).
Check Points:
(Check1) Check if the spotting process was performed normally.
(Check2) Aspirated fluids (sample and reference fluid) in the tips are almost equal in volume. Check the
spotting process that each fluid is dispensed into the spotting holes on the slide.
(Check3) The test result may be affected by the coexisting substances in the sample. Dilute the sample

10. FDC7000 Practical Troubleshooting

10.1 Slide Transfer Troubles
(1) Case: Slide jam (A PM slide only remains in the

slide cartridge).
Error E0402 has occurred.
Cause:
Most possible cause is no slide weight placed
on top of the stacked slides.
(2) Case: A PM slide could not reach the spotting

position after the transfer.
No transfer error occurs, but the error of the PM
test results occurs.
Cause:
A: The PM slide has camber (bel ow the
standard).
B: The top of the transfer bar slips and goes
under the slide due to the low positioning of the
bar.
→ Lift the transfer bar a little by adjusting the
sample disk height. (Refer to Section 8.2.1
"Sample Disk Height Adjustment".)
Check:
The physical relationship between a slide and
the transfer bar can be checked by sliding the
bar's top out from the sample disk.(Removing
the main chassis covers is necessary for
observation.)
Check the physical relationship while setting a
slide cartridge.

(3) Case: Slide jam at the just front of the incubator
Error E0402 has occurred.

Cause:
A: The thumb screw of the tip eject part is
loosened (Not secured completely).
B: After the disposal box overflows with slides,
cleaning the box was performed, but cleaning
the incubator was not performed.
Once the disposal box overflows with slides,

s l i d e s m a y r e m a i n t o b e s ta c k e d i n t h e
incubator (inside) after discarding slides in the
disposal box. As the result, slide jam will occur
again.
C: The top of the transfer bar slips and goes

over the slide due to the high positioning of the
bar.
Check the gap between the bar and the guide

plate while sliding the bar's top until near the
incubator. About 0.3mm of gap is allowable.
When the gap is over the range:

→ Lower the transfer bar a little by adjusting the
sample disk height. (Refer to Section 8.2.1
"Sample Disk Height Adjustment".)

(4) Case: Transfer error (A PM slide is transferred

to the CM incubator.)
When the spotting part cover gets wet by
overspilled liquid (sample or reference fluid) or
wrong spotting caused by case 2 (spotting
position failure), a PM slide is stuck to the
spotting part cover and will fail to be discarded.
The slide will be transferred to the CM incubator
to result a transfer error at the following spotting
process for the next PM slide.
Action: Clean the spotting part cover and the

transfer base.
(5) Case: The transfer errors (E0402, E0400) have

occured when transferring CM slides.
C a u s e : W h e n s a m pl e o r r e f e r e n c e f l u i d
overspills over the spotting part or the slide
cartridges.
After the liquids are dried out, the liquids
changes to solid material that results slide
transfer errors.
Check if no stains or soils are present around
the transfer route.
(6) Other check points:

Check if the magnets (adhesive bonding) are
not peeled off.
Check if the connectors located back of the PF

pump are locked securely.

10.2 PM Test Troubles

(1) Case: PM test result error has occured.
A: No reference fluid spotted onto the slide.

If air bubble is included in the reference fluid
when pouring the fluid into the tube, the sampler
aspirates the air bubble to result the errors of
the test results.
The 1.5 mL tube is recommended for reference
fluid. (The 0.5 mL tube easily includes air
bubble than 1.5 mL tube.)
B: No reference fluid spotted onto the slide.
If the used tube for reference fluid does not
match the setting of the analyzer, unspotted
fluid may occur.
Check the reference fluid setting of Mode 84
(test tube settings).
(2) Case: PM test result error has occured.
A: Dust sticks around the probes.

Clean the probes, referring to Section 5.3 in the
instruction manual.
B: The probes are not inserted into the ends of

the probe sockets. Check the probes insertion.
C: The reference fluid may be condensed by

evaporation.
Reference fluid should be replaced every 24
hours. Do not reuse used tubes and prevent
adding fluid into used tubes that contain
remaining fluid.
NOTE: Check if probe contact traces are

present on the electrodes of the slide for
analysis.
(3) Abnormal results (high / low)
High value for K

If a test tube containing EDTA is used, the result
will increase.
(About 8 mEq/L increase for K)

10.3 PF Troubles
(1) PF sensor errors has occured.
A: The analyzer is exposed to outside light over

the specification.
If the analyzer is exposed to light other than
fluorescent light (max. 6000 lx), the error may
occur.
Check if incandescent lighting is used or if sun
light projects the analyzer.
Closing the sampler cover can reduce the effect
of the outside light.
B: Dirty PF sensor
If the surface of the PF sensor is soiled, the
error will occur.
Clean the surface of the PF sensor, referring to
Section 5.9.1 in the instruction manual.

(2) E0120 (No sample found) has occured during PF tests.

may spill onto the CCD to result errors.
Check the dot print quality on the reverse side

of the slide.
B: A part of dot print on the reverse side of the
slide is soiled or some dot prints are missed.
A: When loading slides into the slide cartridge

that remains to be placed on the sample disk,
the slide may be out of the standard position. As
a result, this may cause a read error. Refer to
Section 4.5.1 in the Instruction Manual.
Always take an empty slide cartridge from the
sample disk, and load slides into the slide
cartridge outside of the analyzer. Then, set the
slide cartridge with the slides into the sample
disk.
(2) Although slides are set into the slide cartridges

on the sample disk, the analyzer does not start
tests and no errors occur.
A: Other than SD slides (conventional type = no
dot-code printed) are used by mistake.
B: Spotting count is set by Mode 40.
Default = 20
