1.18 FUJI DRI-CHEM AUTO TIPS, FUJI Sample Tubes, and FUJI
DRI-CHEM MIXING CUPS
NOTE In this manual, FUJI DRI-CHEM AUTO TIPS may be shortened to “tip”, FUJI Sample Tube
to “tube”, and FUJI DRI-CHEM MIXING CUPS to “mixing cup”.
FDC NX600 performs sample application automatically via the sampler. However, it is necessary to
prepare dedicated FUJI DRI-CHEM AUTO TIPS, FUJI Sample Tubes, and specified blood collection
tubes and FUJI DRI-CHEM MIXING CUPS.
The FUJI Sample Tubes include the following types.
• FUJI HEPARIN TUBE 1.5 mL
• FUJI HEPARIN TUBE 0.5 mL
• FUJI PLAIN TUBE 1.5 mL
• FUJI PLAIN TUBE 0.5 mL

WARNING:
Do not touch used tips, tubes, and mixing cups with your bare hands as this may cause infection. If
you accidentally touch an item, immediately rinse the contaminated area thoroughly under running
water, and then disinfect the area. Seek medical assistance if necessary.
1
WARNING:
Used tips, tubes, and mixing cups are infectious industrial waste. Process this waste in compliance
with any applicable regulations in your country, such as by incineration, melting, sterilization, or dis-
infection. Furthermore, when entrusting disposal to another party, request processing from a con-
tractor with a license for special management of industrial waste processing work.
IMPORTANT:
Always use new FUJI DRI-CHEM AUTO TIPS, FUJI Sample Tubes, blood collection tubes, and
FUJI DRI-CHEM MIXING CUPS for each sample. Do not reuse old ones.
IMPORTANT:
Use only specified products. Otherwise, errors or malfunctions may occur.
IMPORTANT:
When the power is shut off during test processing, such as by a power outage, replenish tips and
replace mixing cups. The analyzer may lose the information of the usage positions of the consuma-
bles and use used mixing cups (holes).
1.19 Light Source Lamp
CAUTION:
The light source lamp gets very hot. Before replacing the lamp, turn the power off, wait at least 5
minutes, and then check that the lamp has cooled.
(1) The light source lamp is a precision halogen lamp. Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp
with your bare hands.
(2) The lamp is a consumable with a lifetime. Always keep a spare lamp on hand in case the lamp
burns out.

IMPORTANT:
Analyzer cannot detect expiries of ISE slides if the installed software is version 1.0. Be sure manu-
ally that slides are still valid.
Otherwise, with the software version 1.1 or later is installed, analyzer can automatically detect ex-
piries of the ISE slides that will expire 2023 or later or whose lot numbers are 130000 to 139999.
NOTE When urine (U) is selected as the sample type for measurement, the dilution setting is set to
2x automatically. Therefore, diluent is needed in addition to reference fluid. The data is cal-
culated automatically, so the results can be reported without adjustment. 3
NOTE Refer to the “Instructions for Use” of the slide for usable diluent for urine measurements.
NOTE Two tips are necessary for each slide; one for sample, the other for reference fluid.
1. Load the reference fluid.

For the reference fluid container (FUJI plain
tube 0.5 mL or 1.5 mL), use the container con-
figured for [Tube setting for diluent & reference
fluid] in Mode function for administrator (Section
9.3.15).
For details of the loading method, refer to Sec-
tion 5.5.
2. Check quantity of tips.

3.6 Dilution Tests

There are 2 types of dilution measurement.
• Dilute and measure automatically by using [Dilution setting] in Mode function for administrator to
preset dilution factors for each test and sample type.
• Dilute and measure all items to be measured by setting a dilution factor for each sample at the
sample information registration screen.
The second method at the sample information registration screen is explained in this section.
IMPORTANT:
3 Bubbles may appear in the tip when diluting a plasma/serum sample more than 20 times or dilut-
ing a urine sample. If bubbles have formed during dilution, perform the measurement again from
the beginning.
NOTE The results of measurements that included dilution are calculated automatically, so the re-
sults can be reported without adjustment.
NOTE The maximum number of dilution measurements from one mixing cup well (hole) is three.
When the diluted sample in the well is insufficient, the analyzer automatically dilutes using
the next well.
NOTE Do not dilute whole blood samples.
NOTE The default dilution factors designated by the manufacturer are as follows: ISE urine tests:
2x; CRP tests: 21x.
Excluding ISE tests, the following section explains the relationships among the dilution fac-
tor configured for each sample at the sample information registration screen, the dilution
factor for each test configured by [Dilution setting] in Mode function for administrator, and
the dilution factor designated by the manufacturer. For ISE tests, the analyzer ignores the

A variety of the reference fluids developed for FUJI
標Reference
yy33 DRI-CHEM slides are measured on each lot of

準液基準値 liquid standard value Y
slides.
The relationship between the actual measurement
yy22 values X (x1, x2, x3) and the standard values Y (y1, y2,
3 Y y3) is expressed by the formula Y=c+dX+eX2. The
lot compensation coefficients (c, d, and e) derived
yy11 from the formula are used to compensate for varia-
tions in X of each lot.

(2) Inputting lot compensation coefficients using a QC card

The lot compensation coefficients are recorded on QC cards, and one QC card is packed with
each box of slides. When data is input from a new card, the previously stored lot compensation
coefficients are updated. Always read the new QC card when you switch to a new box of slides,
because each QC card also contains slide data essential for measurement, in addition to the lot
compensation coefficients.
NOTE The “e” values recorded on the QC cards are expressed as e×103.
NOTE The analyzer records the QC card information of up to 5 lots for each test. Reading QC
cards of more than 5 lots results in deletion of QC information starting from the oldest.
(3) Using QC cards
A QC card must be read when a new test slide will be used or when changing to a new lot of
slides.
Read the QC card while [Ready to test] or [Warming up] is displayed on the LCD.

3 Measurement
Set the QR code on the left side, and then insert

the QC card into the card reader fully.
NOTE If the QC card is dirty or folded, the read

error may occur.

The slide test and production number (lot) are

displayed on the LCD and output to the printer
as well.
NOTE Do not insert another QC card while the

slide test and lot number are displayed.
NOTE When the analyzer beeps and the test

is not displayed, insert the QC card into
the card reader again.
(4) Using DI cards

When you receive DI cards from FUJIFILM due to a change of the slide’s manufacturing pro-
cess, read the DI cards according to the instructions. The reading method is the same as for QC
cards.

4.1 CRP Calibration
4.1.1 Calibration Measurement

4.3 Tests Using a Plasma Filter (PF)

By using a PF, you can filter a plasma sample from a whole blood sample without using a centrifuge.
NOTE The FDC NX600i cannot measure using a PF.
IMPORTANT:
Read the “Instructions for Use” of the PF before measurement.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to read the PF card when changing to a new production lot of PFs.
CAUTION:
Do not tap the [START] button when the sample has already been filtered by the PF. If the [START]
4 button is tapped, the analyzer may malfunction.
Precautions for samples

NOTE Use whole blood samples that have a hematocrit value (Hct) of 20 to 55%.
Up to about 350 μL of plasma (including 85 μL of dead volume) can be filtered.
The amount of filtered plasma decreases as the hematocrit value increases. In the case of
a hematocrit value of 55%, about 185 μL of plasma (including 85 μL of dead volume) can be
filtered.
The amount of filtered plasma depends on the hematocrit value and viscosity of the blood.
NOTE Hemolyzed samples provide inaccurate results.
NOTE If blood cells in a sample have precipitated, mix the sample, place it in a sample rack, and
then perform measurement immediately. Otherwise, the amount of filtered plasma may be
insufficient.
Precaution for blood collection tubes
IMPORTANT:
Use the blood collection tubes listed in Section 4.3.2.

PF cards
(1) Overview
When the measurement values for filtered plasma are compared to the values for plasma sep-
arated on a centrifuge, systematic differences may be found. Always read the PF card before
using a PF. The PF card contains information to compensate for these differences.
(2) Using PF cards
One PF card is included in one PF box (with 50 filters). Read a PF card in the same way a QC
card is read. Be sure to read the PF card when changing to a new box of PF. The imported pro-
duction number (lot) is displayed on the Measurement-preparation screen. Make sure that this
number matches the production number (lot) of the PF in use. (è Refer to Section 2.2.1)
NOTE A PF card cannot be read during measurement.

4.3.1 Measurement
1. Prepare the slides.

2. Prepare the consumables.
Prepare the tips, mixing cups, diluent, and refer-
ence fluid as required.

4. Load the sample.

(1) Place the specified amount of whole blood
sample in a blood collection tube.
NOTE The PF has about 3 mL of dead vol-
ume (that will be absorbed into the
filter). If the sample volume is low,
the filtered sample volume will be
too low for measurement. Further-
more, sample that was aspirated
into the PF filter cannot be reused.
NOTE If the sample volume is too high,

the sample may overflow from the
blood collection tube when the PF is
loaded. There must be empty space
in the tube. (Refer to Section 4.3.2.)
4
(2) Mix the whole blood sample in the blood
collection tube by turning it over five or six
times.
NOTE Make sure that bubbles do not form.
(3) Remove the cap from the blood collection
tube, and then put it on the PF sample rack.
(4) Insert a PF into the blood collection tube.
Make sure the PF does not rise from the
sample rack.
5. Register the measurement information.
IMPORTANT:
Tests using a PF measure filtered plasma, so al-

ways configure the sample type to [Plasma/Serum].


WARNING:

4
ment.
8. After measurement is ended, discard the
used PF, and then remove the sample
container.
WARNING:
When discarding used PF, always follow biohazard procedures (wear gloves, a lab coat, and safe-
ty goggles) in accordance with the sample handling rules of your facility. If any part of the body
comes in contact with a sample, immediately rinse the contaminated body part thoroughly under
running water and then use ethyl alcohol as a disinfectant. Seek medical assistance if necessary.
WARNING:
Used PF is infectious industrial waste. Process this waste in compliance with any applicable regu-
lations in your country, such as by incineration, melting, sterilization, or disinfection.

4.3.2 Blood Collection Tubes for Tests Using a PF

NOTE The FDC NX600i cannot measure using a PF.
The following blood collection tubes can be used with PF measurements: φ16×100 mm, φ13×100

4.4 Retesting
You can test again using the previous sample number, sample ID, sample type setting, and refer-
ence interval setting by tapping the (retest) button at the measurement results screen. Further-
more, when a measurement cannot be performed due to an error, you can skip the re-entry and re-
configuration of the setting information by tapping the (retest) button. When a PF measurement
is run again, the analyzer does not filter using the PF, but instead uses plasma that was previously
filtered by the PF.
IMPORTANT:
The (retest) button is designed only to automatically enter the sample number and sample ID of
the previously measured sample. Do not use this button to retest samples from before the previous
sample.
CAUTION:
4 Do not tap the [START] button when the sample has already been filtered by the PF. If the [START]
button is tapped, the analyzer may malfunction.
Retesting after filtering by the PF

• When you will rerun a measurement using the PF, do not use the [START] button to restart the
measurement. Always use the (retest) button.
• Make sure that the sample volume is sufficient.
• Make sure that the liquid surface of the filtered sample is level.
IMPORTANT:
Do not retest GPT (ALT) of PF filtered plasma because its activity decreases over time.

< How to retest >

7 Quality Control
IMPORTANT:
To maintain the accuracy of your test results, it is recommended to perform quality control on routine
bases by use of control fluids. Perform quality control in compliance with local regulation and proce-
dure which you have to obey. Also, it is also recommended to do after major repairs are performed on
the analyzer.
7.1 Control Fluids

Use the controls which are prepared for FUJI DRI-CHEM or which are recommended to use.
NOTE Follow the descriptions in the “Instructions for Use” of control fluids.
7.2 Measurement with Control Fluids

Measure with control fluids by following the same procedure as for measurement of patient samples.
Load the control fluid in the sample loading position of the sample rack, load a slide, and then meas-
ure.
7.3 Monitoring Results

Configure the target values and acceptable ranges for measurements from control fluid results, and
monitor for changes over time.
7.4 Control Mode

You can measure control liquid by using [Control] of the Function menu to configure the entered cor-
relation coefficients “a” and “b” to a = 1 and b = 0 temporarily. This state is called Control mode. 7
After using this mode, always cancel control mode by tapping [HOME] on the LCD.
7.5 Troubleshooting Quality Control Results

If there is a discrepancy in the control fluid measurement results, confirm the following points, and
then measure the control fluid again.
• Make sure that the periodic cleaning and replacement of consumables listed in this manual are
being performed.
• Make sure the handling methods, storage conditions, usage limitations, and other details listed in
the “Instructions for Use” of slides have been observed.
If the control results are still a problem, please contact your dealer.

IMPORTANT:
Description of the correlation function
This function is designed to determine the correlation

between the measured data obtained using the FDC
Y NX600 and the data obtained using the conventional
measuring method with your own instruments.
Y=aX+b
The X-axis shows the measured data obtained us-
ing your instruments, and the Y- axis shows the
FDC measured data obtained using the FDC NX600.
NX600 The correlation regression equation in this case is:
Y = aX + b
After values for the two coefficients (a, b) are reg-
istered in the analyzer memory, the FDC NX600
performs compensation calculations internally us-
ing the formula: X = (Y-b)/a. In this way, measured
data obtained using the FDC NX600 are adjusted to
X match measured data that would be obtained using
Conventional measuring method
