The exhausted Kit contains potentially dangerous waste disposals, handle with gloves. Do
not open. See section “Discard of consumables” Page 87
5. Kit Performance
The Kit performance depends on the way of use and maintenance of the Analyzer.
Due to this, we recommend as long as it is possible:
* Measure the samples in batch, instead of doing so at random: this will save calibrating
solutions and improve the repeatability in measuring.
* Perform the maintenance within the reach and frequency recommended by the
manufacturer.
The Kit has been designed in such a way that the Kit solutions are always sufficient for the
doses calculated by the Analyzer under different amount of ions installed in the Analyzer.
In this manner, surplus solutions may remain in the Kit without being used even if the
“Exhausted Kit” message is shown.
It is recommended NOT to open the Kit.
The consumption of Standard A and Standard B will never be similar. Therefore, there will be
always proportional surplus of one more than the other.
The Analyzer will show the “Exhausted Kit” message when one of the solutions is
exhausted.
JS Medicina Electrónica recommends the replacement of the Fill Port Cleaner along with
the Kit REF IN 0200
Be careful with the Red cap of the analyzer, it may contain potentially infectious waste,
always wear gloves, do not spatter.
The Exhausted Kit contains waste disposals potentially dangerous. Discard the Kit
according to the section ”Discard of the consumables” Page 87

2. cK+ indicates
Our body has a total quantity of 3000 - 4000 mmol of potassium of which the major part is
intracellular. The plasma (and the extra cellular fluid) only contains about 4.0 mmol/L,
totaling 50 mmol (the extra cellular fluid is about 12 L.). However, a given plasma
concentration may be found with any body potassium level. Although extra cellular
potassium only accounts for 1-2% of the total potassium, it is of great importance, since
one of its main functions is to mediate the regulation of the entire potassium balance in the
organism. A normal potassium is essential to regulate cardiac function. Values outside the
range of 2.5-7.0, are lethal.
3. Reference Ranges
cK+ (aP) Reference Ranges (adult): 3.7- 5.3 mmol/L.
4. Clinical Interpretation
JS Medicina Electrónica
102
DIESTRO 103 AP ANALIZADOR DE ELECTROLITOS
5. General Comments
High cK+ levels can be caused by Hemolysis. This is because red blood cells present a
higher concentration of this ion regarding serum or plasma, from what there may be
observed an artificially augmented cK+.
It is very common when a traumatic extraction is performed, but it may also occur when
taking a scant sample, (capillary sample). To minimize Hemolysis risks, it is advisable to
separate serum or plasma as soon as possible from the globular Packet, as well as mixing
the sample softly with anticoagulants. When Hemolysis is evident, the values obtained are
very high. For this reason, if the coloration seems to be more reddish than normal in
plasma and serum samples, it is recommended to either repeat the sample or add a
comment on the color next to the ck+ results.
2. cNa+ indicates:
The body has a total sodium level of about 60 mmoL/Kg, the majority of which is divided
between the bone and the extra cellular fluid. The plasma level (about 140 mmol/l), is
regulated by the plasma content of sodium, water and intracellular potassium. Therefore,
high-plasma sodium may be due to low-body water – or vice versa. It represents about the
90% of the inorganic cations in plasma, making it responsible for almost half the osmolality
of the plasma.
3. Reference Ranges
cNa+ (aP) Reference Range (adult): 135 -148 mmol/L.
4. Clinical Interpretation
5. General comments
Regional edema in the sampling area can cause false decreased values of cNa + .
2. cCI indicates:
The chloride ion is the body’s major anion in the extra cellular fluid. The plasma level is
about 100 mmol/L, representing the largest fraction of inorganic ions. Sodium and chloride
together represent the majority of the osmotically active plasma components.
The kidney plays a major role in the body’s handling of chloride. Chloride accompanies
a large part of the sodium filtered by the glomerulus and is also active in the
chloridebicarbonate exchange.
3. Reference Range
cCl-(aP) reference range (adult): 98-109 mmol/L.
4. Clinical Interpretation
cCl- itself as a single parameter is of minor importance in most settings. However, low
values can cause muscles seizures, apathy and anorexia. High values may cause
Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis.
5. General Comments
The major importance of cCl- is in relation to calculation of anion gap.
1. Definition
cCa++(P) is the concentration of Calcium in plasma. The systematic symbol for arterial
blood is cCa2+(aP). The Analyzer symbol is Ca.
2. cCa++ indicates
Ionized Calcium in plasma is the metabolically active part of total calcium, making up
around 50% of the total calcium. Total calcium in plasma is in part bound to proteins
(mainly albumin) 40%, and the remaining 10% bicarbonate, citrate, phosphate, and lactate
anions. The binding to proteins depends on pH. The ionized calcium is necessary for a
number of enzymatic processes and membrane transport mechanisms.
It thereby plays a key role in blood coagulation, cellular growth, neuro-muscular
transmission, and a series of other functions essential to life.
3. Reference Range
cCa++(aP) reference range (adult): 1.00 -1.40 mmol/L ( 4.0 – 5.6 mgrs%).
4. Clinical Interpretation
* Hypoparathyroidism.
5. General Comments
There are a number of factors that can affect the cCa++ measured values. To minimize the
mistakes that may be made it is recommended: no more than 30- second estasis applied
to the extremity where the sample is being taken; the patient should remain
sitting for more than 5 minutes before the venipunction; the use of small tubes without
anticoagulant; use tubes with balanced heparin for whole blood or plasma; complete the
tube with sample so as to minimize air drawn into it, and process the sample within one
hour after the sample has been taken.
Whole blood samples taken in tubes with Li or Na heparin, show low cCa++ values
compared to those obtained in the same sample without heparin.This is because heparin
completes and diminishes cCa++. There are commercially balanced heparin which would
diminish this effect. If the amount of heparin added to the tube or syringe may be
diminished, then this mistake would diminish as well, but low levels of anticoagulant
increase the risk of sample coagulation.
Anticoagulated blood with Oxalate or EDTA is not accepted since these compounds are
strong calcium chelators. Venous estasis and an upright position may contribute to elevate
calcium. Estasis produced by keeping tourniquets longer than 1minute may lead to
anaerobic glycolysis with lactic acid production, which diminishes pH and varies the free
Ca++ since the Ca-protein bind is dissociated, showing augmented cCa++ values.
3. Reference Range
Lithium has a very narrow therapeutic range. The initial doses are between 0.80 and
1.20 mmol / L.
Reference range CLI + (AP) (adult): 0.50 -1.00 mmol / L
5. General Comments
During treatment with lithium and during maintenance (prophylaxis) is important to adjust
the dosage to achieve plasma levels required because the lithium can cause acute toxicity
if their concentration is just above the therapeutic range (about 2.00 mmol/ L, although
some patients seem to be more sensitive and have side effects such as tremors or
confusion with even lower doses).
Increases chloride elimination: in rich-salt diet, during the diuretic effect of saluretics and
other similar preparations; in certain acute nephropathies (tubular necrosis), in the poliuric
phase that follows anuria; in chronic nephropathies (pielonephritis, chronic
glomerulonephritis or polycystic kidney), with the saline incontinence syndrome, in
suprarenal insufficiency of Addison’s disease; hypernatruria; it appears in Schwartz-
Bartter syndrome (excessive ADH secretion).

Measurement Technology
Ion selective electrodes (ISE) measure electrolytes by two different technologies, direct
and indirect, commonly known as Direct ISE and Indirect ISE (ISE = Ion Selective
Electrode).
Direct ISE
The automatic Analyzer employs for electrolyte determination the Direct Ion Selective
method which is based on the properties of its transducers or sensors (electrodes) to be
selective to a specific ion in solution.
This is achieved because the membranes of the Ion selective Electrodes develop a
potential measured against a stable reference electrode of constant potential related to the
activity of this particular ion for which they are selective. Such potential is due to the
Nernst equation.

this parameters please contact Technical service
Delta Correction allows you to correct the results obtained by the Analyzer, in such a way
that they can be matched or leveled with those given out by either other measuring
equipments, Internal or External Quality Controls, or desired Standards.
Before using Deltas, verify that the analyzer works properly. Never apply Deltas if your
analyzer is not precise, in other words, if it does not repeat the measures correctly.
3. Now you can change the delta value. Each electrode has a delta for each type of
sample.
