U-WAM Instructions for Use
Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Intended use


For in vitro diagnostic use.
The Urinalysis Work Area Information Management System U-WAM is an instrument status and data management
software specifically for Sysmex Urine Analyzers and Imaging Devices.
U-WAM performs analysis order registrations and patient information management.
U-WAM supports the technical validation of diagnostic results combined with a rule based judgement, as well as
quality control management and the manual classification of human urine particle images captured with Sysmex Fully
Automated Urine Particle Digital Imaging Device UD-10.
The software does not modify the data nor does it control the medical device.

1.2 Overview of the product


This product is a software system for comprehensive management of analysis data and live status updates from a
variety of instruments, including specific urine quantitative analyzers, digital imaging devices, and qualitative devices.
Urine quantitative analyzers, digital imaging devices, and qualitative devices are referred to as "the analyzer" in this
manual.
This product and analyzers send and receive analysis results and instrument statuses. This product can be
connected to a host computer.
You can use this product with multiple devices. When using this product with multiple devices, the device in which the
server is installed is referred to as "the server device" and the device in which the server is not installed is referred to
as "the client device" in this manual.
The permissions for a client device are different from the permissions for a server device. For details, see Chapter 10.
(➤P.204 "Chapter 10: 10.6.2 The permissions for the client device")

Caution!
Use analysis results only as part of an overall diagnosis including clinical symptoms and other examination
results.

Note:
For using this product with multiple devices, contact your local Sysmex representative.

5.2 Overview of quality control


Quality control is the routine monitoring of analyzers and reagents using control materials that are the standard.
Analysis results are managed based on changes over time. For the settings for quality control, see Chapter 10.
(➤P.217 "Chapter 10: 10.10 Quality control settings")

For the procedure of quality control on each analyzer, see the following.
• Urine quantitative analyzer, digital imaging device
Follow the manual provided with the analyzer to perform quality control.
• Qualitative device
Register lot information using this product before performing QC analysis. For details on QC analysis, see the
manual provided with the analyzer.

5.2.1 QC files
A QC file is a file in which QC analysis results are saved by the control material lot.
Register lot information before performing QC analysis for the first time or before performing QC analysis with a
new control material. You can also register lot information using this product in the case of qualitative devices.
For details on registering lot information using this product, see the following.
(➤P.49 "5.3 Registering lot information (U-WAM)")

Note:
• You can save up to 300 QC analysis results in a QC file. When 300 QC analysis results are exceeded,
the oldest results are automatically deleted.
• A maximum of 50 QC files can be registered for one analyzer. When 50 registrations of QC files are
exceeded for one analyzer, the QC files with the oldest lot date are automatically deleted.
