14. Serum information

Icterus, hemolysis, lipemia

The items listed above are examples of items that can be measured.

Serum Information

Graded index indications are possible by measuring the degree of icterus, hemolysis, and lipemia

The judgment levels are user defined.

The degree of incidence can be displayed and saved to the analyzed data as a flag.

Reception of Analysis Requests

1. Combination of individual input and batch input is possible for item selection.

2. Input operation Touchscreen Pointing device Keyboard Online

3. Maximum number of requested samples

9999 samples/index

4. Maximum of 63 items can be ordered per specimen, including ISE option (when installed). When a separate reagent for LIH is used, the maximum number of ordered tests per sample is inclusive of LIH.

5. Patient information can be entered separately from item selection.

Sample Search

1. It is possible to check for the sample status by sample ID and sample No. for received samples.

2. Displays the estimated time to results output for a sample in process.

Repeat Run

1. Automatic repeat run

2. Manual repeat run is possible.

3. It is possible to change the sample volume.

Normal repeat run, condensation repeat run, dilution repeat run (including pre-dilution repeat run)

4. Reflex Testing

Rapid repeat run is possible for samples judged as repeat run with automatic repeat run. Automatic repeat run is not possible when connected to a lab automation system.

AU-C indicates and extracts samples for repeat run specimens when connected. A host computer instructs sample extraction and repeat run when connected. Only normal repeat run is available for HbA1c (whole blood) analysis.

Reflex testing function determines additional testing items from the result of one analysis and performs further analysis.

   Warm Up and Standby
