1.7 Working principle of the Analyzer


(1)Clotting assay analytical technique
The blood coagulation factor in plasma sample will have reaction after being added to reagent with promoter.
Finally, the sample will form stable cross-linked fibrin and make the turbidity and viscosity in sample change. Then,
the sample can be analyzed according to the start time of sample change.
(2)Chromogenic substrate assay analytical technique
The chromogenic substrate assay is mainly used to test the percent of antithrombin III activity in sample. The main
method is to add heparin and excessive amount of thrombin to sample (the heparin makes the antithrombin III
activity in sample increase and restrict blood clotting activity), and then add chromogenic substrate. After the
chromogenic substrate combines with the residual thrombin in sample, the chromogen will leave from the substrate
and make the solution be yellow. By testing the variation of light beam absorbance of special wavelength in sample,
the percent of antithrombin III activity in sample can be determined.
(3)Immunoturbidimetric assay analytical technique
The immunoturbidimetric assay is mainly used to test the content of fibrin degradation products in sample. The
main method is to add latex particles wrapped with antibody to sample and when latex particles meet fibrin
degradation products, the antigen will combine with antibody and the latex particles in sample will become greater
due to aggregation. As a result, the turbidity of sample will become greater. By testing the variation of light beam
absorbance of special wavelength in sample, the concentration of fibrin degradation products in sample can be
determined.

(1)Clotting assay


The test principle is optical transmission principle. Analytical techniques above have different analytical methods.

The test principle of the clotting assay is shown in Fig. 1-7-1 and Fig. 1-7-2. After the light from the light source
passes through the sample and shines on the photoelectric sensor, the sample will have reaction and the light

intensity received by the photoelectric sensor will decrease gradually. The time required when the light intensity
attenuates to 50% is just the clotting time of sample.

Fig. 1-7-1

Fig. 1-7-2
(2)Chromogenic substrate assay
The test principle of the chromogenic substrate assay is shown in Fig. 1-7-3 and Fig. 1-7-4. After the light from the

1-18
User manual

light source passes through the sample and shines on the photoelectric sensor, the sample will have reaction and the
absorbance in sample will increase gradually. The antithrombin III content can be calculated according to the
variation of absorbance.

Fig. 1-7-3


Fig. 1-7-4

(3)Immunoturbidimetric assay
The test principle of the immunoturbidimetric assay is shown in Fig. 1-7-5 and Fig. 1-7-6. After the light from the
light source passes through the sample and shines on the photoelectric sensor, the sample will have action and the
absorbance in sample will increase gradually. The content of fibrin degradation products can be calculated
according to the variation of absorbance.

1.7.1 Analysis process


(1)The mechanical arm conducts self-check and clears the waste cuvette left at test position and incubation position.
(2)The fluid tube unit conducts self-check and rinses the inner and outer walls of probe.

1-19
User manual

(3)The mechanical arm moves to the feeding position and takes a cuvette to the incubation position.
(4)The probe moves to the diluent position to aspirate diluent (execute this step for items needing dilution) and
moves to the sample position to aspirate sample.
(5)The probe moves to the incubation position to dispense the sample (or diluent+sample) to cuvette and then moves
to the rinsing bath to rinse the inner and outer walls of the probe.
(6)After the incubation, the probe moves to the reagent position to aspirate reagent R1, then moves to the incubation
position to dispense reagent R1 to cuvette and then moves to the rinsing bath to clean the inner and outer walls of the
probe.
(7)After the dispensing of reagent R1, the mechanism arm moves to the incubation position and takes the cuvette for
vibration mixing. After mixing, the cuvette will be put back to the incubation position (multi-reagent) or test
position (single reagent), and the mechanical arm returns back to zero position.
(8)After the incubation, the probe moves to the reagent position to aspirate reagent and moves to the incubation
position to dispense R2, R3 and R4 reagent (until all reagents are dispensed). After each dispensing, it will move to
the rinsing bath to clean the inner and outer walls of the probe.
(9)After the dispensing, the mechanical arm moves to the incubation position and takes the cuvette for vibration
mixing, and then moves to the test position and puts the cuvette at the test position.
(10)The mechanical arm throws the cuvette to waste box after the test.
When several items are tested continuously at a constant pace, it is equal to the overlay of several test processes of a
single item. To prevent conflict in scheduling, the following requirements shall be met.
a)Requirements for continuous test of several items:


Waste cuvette shall not be discarded when adding a new cuvette.
When adding a new cuvette, the sample to be dispensed and the reagent to be dispensed for other item shall
not be tested at a same time.

The mechanical arm and probe shall not operate at a same time.
When adding a new cuvette, the reagent to be dispensed shall not have cross contamination with the reagent
for last test item.
b)Reduction of test speed:

The test speed may drop in a test of several items.


1.7.2 Characteristics of photometry
The light from light source will pass through the cuvette used for test first, and then pass through the optical filter
and become a monochromatic light. Then, the monochromatic light will be received by the photoelectric sensor and

converted into electrical signal and then converted into digital signal after amplification by an amplifier and
analog-digital conversion, i.e. AD value.
The Analyzer has eight test channels for simultaneous testing. They are 4 channels for clotting assay, 2 channels for
chromogenic substrate assay and 2 channels for immunoturbidimetric assay. During the reaction of different items,
they will detect the transmission light intensity of reaction liquid uninterruptedly. In this period, at every 100ms, the
8 test channels will collect the AD value and update them to the upper computer. In the testing process, the cuvette
shall be kept still until the reaction time is up and then the mechanical arm will throw the cuvette to the waste box.
The upper computer will calculate the variation of clotting time or absorbance according to the variation of AD
value in the reaction time period.

User manual

5.2.1 Analysis parameters


5.2.1.1 Analytical methods
The analysis methods of the Analyzer include coagulation method, chromogenic substrate method and
immunoturbidimetric method. When the reagent is added into a sample, the crosslinked fibrin (coagulation method)
is generated in the sample, and the reagent releases the color material (chromogenic substrate method) or binding of
antigen-antibody promotes the aggregation of latex particles (immunoturbidimetric method). In this process, the
light passing through the sample gradually weakens. Based on the changes in the transmission light intensity, the
percentage detection method can be used to calculate the solidification time (solidification method), and the velocity
method can be used to calculate the amount of change in absorbance within a specified time (chromogenic substrate
method and immunoturbidimetric method).
(1)Percentage detection method:
This method is applicable to the testing of the coagulation time of the sample. When the starting reagent is just
added in the sample and the sample has not reacted with the reagent yet, the transmission light intensity of the
sample is maximized, and the light intensity is defined as 100%. As the sample starts to react with the reagent, the
transmission light intensity gradually decreases until the reaction ends and then the transmission light intensity no
longer changes. The transmission light intensity value at this time is defined as 0%. The time taken for the
transmission light intensity to reduce from 100% to 50% is defined as the sample coagulation time in the figure
below, and this method can be used to detect a sample with longer coagulation time or less reaction changes.
Notes:
According to specific test items, the solidification time can also be customized. For example, the time taken


for light intensity to reduce from 100% to 70% can be defined as the sample solidification time.

Fig. 5-2-1 Diagram of Percentage Detection Method


Establish a calibration curve by solidification method:


Establish a calibration curve with the coagulation time and sample concentration (only applicable to the detection of
fibrinogen). Dilute the calibrated plasma into several concentrations (normally 5-6 concentration points, including
high, medium and low concentration levels) in proportion according to the requirements of reagent specifications,
measure the corresponding solidification time for calibrators in different concentrations according to the percentage
detection method, and draw the calibration curve as shown below.

Fig. 5-2-2 Diagram of Calibration Curve by Solidification Method

5-3
User manual

The formula of calibration curve is T=f(C)


T - Coagulation time
C - Sample concentration
Calculate sample concentration based on the measured sample coagulation time.
(2)Velocity method:
a)Chromogenic substrate method
This method is applicable to the testing of the activity percentage of antithrombin III (AT-III) in the sample.
When the substrate reagent is added to the sample, the substrate reagent combines the remaining thrombin in the
sample and releases the color material and the absorbance of the sample gradually increases. During the
calculation, the absorbance difference dOD between time t1 and t2 is defined and then the activity percentage of
sample is calculated based on dOD in absorbance in accordance with the calibration curve shown in the diagram.
Formula of the calibration curve is Y=AX+B.
Y - dOD
A - Slope
X - Activity percentage of sample
B - Intercept



Fig. 5-2-3

Fig. 5-2-4
b)Immunoturbidimetric method
This method is applicable to the determination of the concentration of fibrin degradation products in the sample,
including the detection of FDP and D-Dimer. When the latex reagent is just added in the sample, the latex
particles in the latex reagent aggregate after being combined with the antigen in the sample. The sample turbidity
becomes larger and absorbance is gradually increased. During the calculation, the absorbance difference dOD
between time t1 and t2 is defined and then the sample concentration is calculated based on dOD in absorbance in
accordance with the calibration curve shown in the diagram. The calculation process is similar to the
chromogenic substrate method.

For “Register”, two registration ways are available:
Rack No.: during the registration, test rack number and location must be registered. The sample must be placed in
strict accordance with the registered rack number and position. This requires the sample tube must strictly
correspond to the rack number. Samples 1 to 10 are placed on rack 1; samples 11 to 20 are placed on rack 2 and so
on. In this way, the conventional sample rack can be arbitrarily placed in the sample chamber, and the rack
number can be reused.
Sample Barcode: in this mode, sample bar code must be used for sample to be tested, and the mode is applicable
to two-way LIS communication. It can achieve fully automatic tests, meaning any sample information not

Chapter 7 QC Management

Laboratory quality control is designed to ensure the reliability of the measured result for each sample. The reliability
of measured results covers two aspects: one is the precision, i.e. repeatability of measured results and little change in
the results measured daily in laboratory (QC is mainly used to eliminate or reduce the impact caused by random
error); the other is accuracy, i.e. correctness of measured results and their approach to the true value (QC is mainly
used to eliminate or reduce the impact caused by system error).
Random error: the difference between the measured result and the mean of measured results obtained by infinitely
many measurements of the same measured item under repetitive conditions is called random error.
System error: under repetitive conditions, the difference between the mean of measured results obtained by
infinitely many measurements of the same measured item and the true value of measured item is called system error.
It is an error component of measured results expected not to be zero.
Accuracy: it is a combination of system error and random error of the measured results, indicating the consistent
degree between the measured results and true values.
Precision: it indicates the size random error of measured results. Precision refers to the degree of compliance
between the measured results when multiple measurements are made under certain conditions.
L-J (Levey Jennings) QC chart: QC chart is a chart with QC limits. QC limit is determined by the mean ( X ) and
standard deviation (SD) obtained by repeated measurements of the known specimen (usually control material) by


the controlled analysis method. X  2SD is the alarm limit while X  3SD is out-of-control limit.
Click the “QC” option in the navigation area to enter into QC management submenu as shown below:

8.2.5.1 Reagent registration
(1)Reagent use and precautions

a)Loading, use and storage of reagents shall be in strict accordance with the requirements of reagent specification

to avoid foaming. As the reagent contains surface active agent, violent vibration will lead to foams. During the
test, the probe’s contact with foams is mis-deemed as contact with the reagent, which will lead to inaccurate
intake of the reagent, affecting the test results.
b)Considering the surface tension, please check whether a film of liquid exists at the mouth of or inside the
reagent bottle as you open the reagent bottle cap before loading the reagent. The film of liquid will lead to

inaccurate analytical results. Use a micropipette tip to pierce it before use.


c)Reagents from different manufacturers, in different batches or different bottles of the same batch cannot be
mixed.
Dispensing of reagents from different manufacturers, different batches but the same manufacturer or different

bottles of the same batch in a reagent will cause changes in reagent ingredients or stability, resulting in inaccurate
test results.

Appendix C Use instructions of LIS network interface (version No. V1.04)

Forward
Please read and understand the interface manual carefully before to ensure correct user of the system.
The objects of the use instructions are the personnel who develop LIS (laboratory information system) and other
personnel who need understand the HL7 interface. The interface manual is used to guide the developer to develop
the LIS interface to realize the communication between the LIS and the Analyzer system. The developing personnel
shall master the knowledge of LIS&HL7 standards and network programming abilities. The communication
protocol for network layer is TCP/IP and for application layer is HL7, and the version is 2.3.1. It is suggested to use
Visual C++, Delphi and other development tools on Windows platform.
1. Summary of interface
HL7 is the standard health information transmission agreement, and the agreement for electronic transmission
between different medical applications. HL7 integrates the interface standard formats of the application software of
different manufacturers, and it allows the data interaction among heterogeneous systems of different mechanism
institutes. The concept is defined in America firstly, and now it is accepted in many other countries.
The data transmission format of the interface is established based on HL7 version of 2.3.1.
1.1 HL7 message structure
In the HL7 communication protocol, the Message is the basic unit for exchange between data and system, and each


message, with its own type, is used to define the trigger event of message type of the message category. A message
consists of several segments and each segment is provided with a name to define it contents and function. A segment
consists of several data fields. The first segment of a message is the message head segment which shows the
program name, message type and the only message ID number for sending and reception, and the composition of the

following segments is determined by the message type. For example, the PID (Patient Identification Data)
comprises the name, address and social insurance number. A data segment may consist of several elements. Some
messages are further classified according to the event code.
The interface is defined based on HL7v2.3.1, with details shown in HL7 Interface Standards Version 2.3.1.
1.2 HL7 underlying protocol

TCP/IP is a byte stream protocol which does not provide the message boundary. HL7, the upper layer protocol, is
based on the information, however, it does not provide message termination mechanism. To determine the message
boundary, we use the minimal underlying protocol (described in HL7 Interface Standards Version 2.3.1). The
message starts with a single character and ends with two characters.

The message is sent by the following format:


<SB> data <EB><CR>,
Including:
<SB> = Start Block character (1 wide char), ASCII <VT>, namely, 0x0B.
data = Data (variable number of wide chars), data is the HL7 message that only includes ISO 8859-1 character
(hexadecimal value 20 - FF) and <CR>, excluding other control characters and those cannot be printed.
<EB> = End Block character (1 wide char), ASCII <FS>, namely, 0x1C.
<CR> = Carriage Return (1 wide char), ASCII CR, namely, 0x0D.
Note: the protocol uses Unicode coding, and all character strings for sending and receiving are under Unicode
format.
2. Communication format
The interface communication includes the testing result transmission and sample information application. The
testing result transmission is mainly targeted to make the Analyzer to transfer its sample information, testing results
and QC results to the external system (like LIS). The data transmission modes include the real-time transmission
during testing and bulk transmission of historical results. The sample information application refers that the
Analyzer gets sample information from LIS to local for testing.
2.1 Support HL7 message
The HL7 message of the interface includes ORU, ACK, QRY, and DSR.

User manual

The uploading diagram of the testing results is as follows:

The process diagram to obtain sample application information from LIS server is as below:


ORU/ACK: non-request observation report/response. ORU^R01 message is mainly used to transmit the laboratory
result in HL7. We use it to transmit sample information, testing result and QC result to LIS.
The transmission information and testing results are:
Patient information (name, sample No., etc.)

Doctor’s advice (sample type, sending doctor, check doctor, clinical diagnosis, etc.)
Check result
It is a group of messages where each message is related to a sample message (there may exist the testing results of
many items). LIS system can select and use the message as per the demand. In the below is the specific structure:

ORU Observational Results (Unsolicited) Description


MSH Message header
PID Patient information

OBR Observation report


{OBX} Test result

The transmission testing results include the following information:


Item information (item No. and name)
QC liquid information (QC times, name, and batch No., etc.)
QC date and testing result
A message will send a QC test. The sending structure of QC results is as follows:
ORU Observational Results (Unsolicited) Description
MSH Message header

QRY/QCK: inquire the observation result/response. QRY^Q02 message inquires the current date to get the sample
information for LIS system. It has the following structure:
QRY Query Description
MSH Message header
QRD Query definition
QRF Query filter

DSR/ACK: response to QRY message, and the display/response to the observation result. DSR^Q03 message is
used to response the QRY message on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is used to send and display the query
results, or let the LIS send the sample information to the Analyzer. The specific structure is as below:
DSR Display Response Description
MSH Message header
MSA Message confirmation
{DSP} Display data

ACK^Q03: the response of message to DSR message. The specific structure is as below:
