Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to: Describe the purpose of the instrument, identify major hardware components, and navigate the software screens. ? System Introduction The Atellica® UAS 60 is a semi-automated microscopy urine sediment analyzer. The operator only needs to load the analyzer with cuvettes and inject mixed urine samples into the cuvettes with a manual pipette. Cuvette forwarding, centrifugation, microscope focusing, image capture, image evaluation and storage, and the disposal of used cuvettes are all automated by the analyzer.

External Hardware Overview Ready Control Light Error Control Light ON/OFF Button The analyzer is turned on or off by selecting the ON/OFF button. Pipetting Window 175 uL of homogeneously mixed urine is pipetted into the cuvette through the pipetting window. Waste Bin At the end of the measurement cycle, the analyzer discards the cuvettes into the waste bin. Select the orange markers learn more about the external hardware components. Start Button The start button is pressed for the following reasons: To load a new cuvette into the pipetting window To start the centrifugation and microscopy sediment analysis of a cuvette that has been pipetted with urine To initialize the system in case of an improperly filled cuvette or mechanical error (when the start button is pressed for a longer time) Note: A barcode scanner can be purchased separately. External Hardware Overview Select the orange markers to learn more about the external hardware components. ? Internal Hardware Overview Centrifuge Cover This removable cover protects the centrifuge arm. Drip Tray: This tray catches urine spills. Cuvette Hold Down Assembly: This part is responsible for holding the cuvette during focusing and image taking. Metal Cuvette Holder Seat: This is where the cuvette container is installed. Centrifuge Arm The urine in the cuvette is centrifuged in order to create the sediment layer at the bottom of the cuvette. Select the orange markers to learn more about the internal hardware components. Plastic Cuvette Feeder Arm: This part is responsible for moving and holding the cuvettes while pipetting the urine sample. Cuvette Container Each cuvette container holds 50 cuvettes. Microscope Unit The cuvette is placed above the microscope. A built in camera takes images at 15 different positions by moving the cuvette. Microscope Lamp Internal Hardware Overview Select the orange markers to learn more about the internal hardware components. ? Cuvettes The Atellica® UAS 60 operates with single use disposable cuvettes. Cuvettes are supplied in containers, each holding 50 cuvettes. Before starting measurement, cuvettes are loaded into the instrument. NOTE: Only remove the sticker at the bottom of the cuvette container after the cuvette container is placed in the cuvette holder seat. Cuvettes The Atellica® UAS 60 operates with single use disposable cuvettes. Cuvettes are supplied in containers, each holding 50 cuvettes. Before starting measurement, cuvettes are loaded into the instrument. ? Pipette The pipette you use with the system should be capable of aspiring 175 +/– 5 uL of liquid. The dispenser of the pipette tip must be at an outer diameter of 1.2 - 2.8 mm. It may be necessary to use a pipette that dispenses up to 1000 uL in order to meet the pipette tip diameter requirements. If the diameter of the pipette tip is less than 1 mm, it may get stuck in the cuvette inlet. If the diameter of the pipette is too large, urine may spill onto the top of the cuvette.

Software Overview Buttons Within Each Menu The buttons within each menu are lined up across the bottom of the screen. Some buttons have more than one state. When you click such a multi-state button, its displayed icon and text changes to indicate whether the process is in progress or has ended. Menu Buttons The menu buttons are lined up on the right side of the screen. The four screens that can be accessed are the Database, Settings (only when logged in as an administrator), Quality Control, and Info. System Status Area In the system status area, you can view the connection status, LIS connection status, User rights according to login level or User name, the number of particles which are evaluated, the measurement status, and the current date and time. Software Overview Select all three orange markers to learn more about the software. ? Software Screens The software has a menu structure with buttons lined up on the right side of the screen. The four main menu buttons are Database, Settings, Quality Control, and Info. Select the tab arrows to learn more about each screen. Database Settings Quality Control Info Software Screens The software has a menu structure with buttons lined up on the right side of the screen. The four main menu buttons are Database, Settings, Quality Control, and Info. Select the tab arrows to learn more about each screen. Database: The database menu allows you to manage analysis results. Using functions on this screen, you can review, edit, or send to output the sediment analysis results and the microscopy images. The database includes the Sample List, which is a scrollable list of the records for all the urine samples that the instrument has processed. The Sediment analysis result box lists the detailed sediment analysis results for the selected sample record for each particle type. The Image List lists the microscopy images for the selected sample. By clicking any of the rows, a thumbnail preview is displayed. Double-clicking the thumbnail image will bring you to the Sample View Editor. At the bottom of the database is the database menu function buttons bar. From here you can edit, filter, or modify one or more selected samples using the function buttons in the screen area. Settings: The settings menu is where you can configure various aspects of the analyzer’s functionality, categorized into tab groups that run along the top of the Settings menu. Note that the settings button is only available when an administrator or service person is logged into the software. Quality Control: The quality control menu contains information and parameters concerning quality control measurements. This tab is where new lots of QC are entered into the software, where QC is ran, and where QC results are reviewed. Generally there are two types of control solutions: normal, which is the low level, and abnormal, which is the high level. The QC settings page is where new lots of QC are entered into the software. On this page, the Start QC button initiates QC measurement. The Low Diagrams and High Diagrams tabs at the top of the screen can be selected to use the quality control visualization feature. Info: The info menu lists the version of the currently installed software, the module firmware versions, and driver version data. Info Quality Control Settings Database ? Measurement Workflow The operator loads a cuvette into the filling position by pressing the start button. A message in the software appears. The Operator scans the barcode, or types in the sample ID, and presses OK. The operator homogenizes and pipettes 175 uL of native urine sample into a cuvette. The operator presses the start button again and the analyzer centrifuges the cuvette. The system takes 15 high-power-field-like images through the microscope and the software evaluates the images which can be viewed by the operator in the Database.
