System Components The Atellica CH Analyzer is an automated chemistry analyzer. The top system cover must be closed for the system to process samples. There are several access doors that the operator can open to access supplies, even while the system is running. Let’s look at each of these access doors. Blank The integrated multisensory technology, or IMT, fluids lid is located on the left side of the top analyzer cover. Blank This lid is used to load additional packs of IMT fluids into the analyzer. Blank The lamp coolant bottle is located behind the IMT fluids. The coolant is checked once a month and is filled to eye level. Blank The reagent tray lid is located on the top of the top analyzer cover. Blank This lid is used to access the tray where additional reagents can be loaded onto the analyzer. Blank The water and liquid waste drawer is located on the bottom right side of the analyzer. Blank There is a pump that removes waste and a reservoir for water. The system is direct plumbed for water and waste. Blank The system fluids drawer is located in the bottom center section of the analyzer. CH Conditioner CH Wash CH Diluent CH Cleaner Blank This drawer is used to replace the diluent, wash, conditioner and cleaner bottles on the analyzer. Each of the system fluids has an onboard stability of 30 days and a volume of 1.6 L. These fluids are used to clean the cuvettes, clean the probes, and dilute the samples. Blank A fan filter is located inside the front left door of the analyzer. Blank The system covers are controlled by a system of interlocks. To open the front top cover, the operator must release the interlocks by selecting an unlock button in the software. Blank Let’s take a look at the components inside the system that can be accessed when the front top cover is opened. The IMT system is located on the left side of the analyzer. Blank The IMT system uses potentiometry to determine the concentration of sodium, potassium and chloride ions in patient samples. Blank The dilution ring, probe, mixer, and washer are located in the back central part of the analyzer behind the reaction ring. Blank The dilution ring holds the dilution cuvettes which house the diluted samples. The dilution probe aspirates a sample from a sample tube and then dispenses and dilutes the sample into a dilution cuvette on the dilution ring. The dilution probe also transfers sample from a sample tube to the IMT system for sodium, potassium, and chloride testing. The dilution probe has clot detection, crash protection, and liquid surface verification. The dilution mixer stirs the diluted sample that has been transferred to the dilution cuvette. The diluted sample is held for retest or reflex until that cuvette reaches the dilution washer (typically at least 10 minutes). The dilution washer cleans the dilution cuvette after a sample is processed, allowing the cuvettes to be reused. Blank The sample probe is located in between the reaction ring and the dilution ring. The sample probe aspirates and dispenses the required amount of diluted sample from the dilution ring into the reaction cuvette containing the first reagent. The sample probe has clot detection, crash protection, and liquid surface verification. Blank The reaction ring, reaction washer, sample mixer, and reagent mixer are located in the center of the analyzer. The reaction ring processes photometric assays in reaction cuvettes. The reaction washer cleans the reaction cuvettes after a sample has been processed, allowing the cuvettes to be reused. The sample mixer is located in the front of the reaction ring. The sample mixer mixes the first reagent and the diluted sample. The reagent mixer is located to the left of the sample mixer. The reagent mixer mixes the diluted sample and both reagents. The reagent tray, loader, compartment and probes are located on the right side of the analyzer. The reagent tray is used to load reagents onto the system. The reagent tray holds up to 6 reagent packs at a time. The 2 reagent probes transfer reagent from reagent packs in the reagent compartment into reaction cuvettes. Blank The reagent compartment has 2 refrigerated reagent servers used to store reagent packs on the system. Each server holds 24 reagent packs in the inner ring and up to 46 in the outer ring for a total of 70 packs. Up to 3 positions are used for reagent probe cleaners. Blank The reagent loader picks up reagent packs from the reagent tray and places them into the proper position in the reagent compartment. The arm also removes old reagent packs from the compartment and places them in the reagent tray to be discarded. Blank There are additional internal components which can be viewed from the back of the analyzer. Fan filters, the photometer, and the main power switch are all located in the rear of the analyzer. The fan filters in the back of the analyzer are on the left rear panel and on the center rear panel. The main power switch is located in the left rear panel of the analyzer. The photometer can be accessed by opening the back top cover. To open the back top cover, the operator must release the cover interlocks by selecting an unlock button in the software. Blank The photometer is located under a cover in the central rear interior of the analyzer. Blank The photometer consists of a light source and a detection assembly, which are mounted across from each other on the reaction ring. The photometer measures the light absorbance of samples as they pass in between the light source and the detection assembly. These absorbances are then converted to results that are reported on the system. Congratulations! You have successfully completed the System Components Overview for the Atellica CH Analyzer. To watch the simulation again select Replay, or continue by selecting Next. Replay unassigned Next Completion Photometric Test Processing Sequence Note: Please turn on the closed captions. Photometric Test Processing Sequence The Atellica CH Analyzer uses photometric technology to measure the light absorbance of samples. These absorbances are then converted to qualitative, quantitative, and semi-quantitative test results that are reported on the system. Let’s look at each step of the photometric test processing sequence for the Atellica CH Analyzer in detail. Reaction Cuvettes Blank Photometric assays are processed in reaction cuvettes, held at a constant temperature of 37 degrees Celsius on the reaction ring. The absorbances of the cuvettes are measured prior to use as a quality check and are washed after each use. Dilution Probe Blank The dilution probe aspirates a sample from a sample tube presented by the analyzer and then dispenses and dilutes the sample into a dilution cuvette on the dilution ring. Dilution Mixer Blank The dilution mixer stirs the diluted sample. Reagent Probe 1 Blank Reagent probe 1 aspirates and dispenses the first reagent from reagent server 1 into a reaction cuvette on the reaction ring. Sample Probe Blank The sample probe aspirates and dispenses the required amount of diluted sample into the reaction cuvette containing the first reagent. The remaining diluted sample in the dilution cuvette can be used for additional tests on an order. Sample Mixer Blank The sample mixer mixes both the reagent and the diluted sample. Reagent Probe 2 Blank Reagent probe 2 aspirates and dispenses the second reagent from reagent server 2 into the reaction cuvette containing the first reagent and the diluted sample. Addition of the second reagent occurs approximately 5 minutes after sample addition to allow for reaction time between the sample and the first reagent. Reagent Mixer Blank The reagent mixer mixes the diluted sample and both reagents. Blank The reaction takes place for the amount of time designated for the assay. Approximately 10 minutes of incubation time from the start of sample addition is supported in normal processing. After the reaction is complete, the photometer reads the light absorbance of the sample once every 9 seconds. These absorbances are then converted to qualitative, quantitative, and semi-quantitative test results. Congratulations!

Replay Next Completion IMT Test Processing Sequence Note: Please turn on the closed captions. IMT Test Processing Sequence The Atellica CH Analyzer uses integrated multisensor technology (IMT) to determine the concentration of sodium, potassium and chloride ions in patient samples. Let’s look at each step of the IMT test processing sequence for the Atellica CH Analyzer in detail. IMT A-Lyte Multisensor Cartridge Standard A Solution Diluent Bottle Blank The IMT cartridge encloses a reference electrode and 3 ion-selective electrodes. To start processing a test, Standard A solution is first pulled through the IMT cartridge. The system measures the potential difference between each of the 3 analytes in the Standard A solution and the reference electrode. Air and fluidic segments of standard A are pulled into the IMT cartridge to both clean and prepare the sensor chip for sample measurement. 75µL of IMT diluent is pulled from the IMT port. Blank The dilution probe aspirates 25µL of sample from a sample tube or cup presented by the analyzer and dispenses the sample and then 150µL of water into the IMT port. As the dilution probe dispenses the sample, it mixes the sample, diluent and water. The dilution probe returns to its rest position and is rinsed and cleaned. Blank The mixed sample is pulled through the IMT cartridge. The drift correction completes when the analyzer pulls a second Standard A sequence through the IMT cartridge, comparing this reading to the initial Standard A measurement. Blank The system measures the potential difference between each of the 3 analytes in the sample and the reference electrode. The system uses an algorithm to convert the potential differences into ion concentrations and reports this value. Congratulations!
