Main Unit The Power Switch, Fuse Box and Power Cord are located on the left side of the Main Unit. The Trap Chamber is located behind a small door at the lower right on the left side of the Main Unit. The Trap Chamber collects any moisture and prevents it from reaching the Compressor Unit. The Rinse Aspiration Connectors and Sensor, and the Waste Connectors and Float Sensor are located at the lower left of the left side. The 20 liter Rinse and Waste Containers are connected here. Filter No. 16, located underneath the left side of the Main Unit, prevents dust from entering the Main Unit. The Sampler, located on the front of Main Unit, automatically transports the samples to the Main Unit. The Sampler is comprised of the Right Rack Pool where up to 5 sample racks are placed to be processed, the Aspiration Position where the samples are aspirated by the Sample Probe, and the Barcode Reader where sample barcodes are read. Racks move to the Left Rack Pool when sampling is completed. TheLight Shield Lid is located right above the Sampler on the Main Unit. It protects the Sample Arm and is locked down during analysis. The Sample Arm has a probe which is a piercer or needle for systems equipped with a Cap Piercer and a standard probe with a blunt tip for Non-Cap Piercer systems. Both are supplied with a crash sensor to detect obstructions. The probe aspirates patient samples, controls, diluents and calibrators and adds them to a cuvette. A pre-analytical check of the sample for Hemolysis, Icterus, and Lipemia (HIL) is performed by the HIL Detector, located behind the Reagent Table. If a sample is found to be positive for Hemolysis, Icterus, or Lipemia, it is noted on the Joblist. TheReagent Table holds reagents, calibrators, and controls and is located in the center of the Main Unit. Reagent Table A is the outer reagent rack on the Reagent Table. It contains 5 racks of which each holds up to 6 reagent vials. Reagent Table B is the inner reagent racks. Each inner rack holds 2 reagent vials. A total of 40 reagents can be placed on the Reagent Table. The Reagent Table is maintained at approximately 10°C. Both the inner and outer racks have 1 position for stirred reagents. The Reagent Table utilizes an automatic barcode reading function. Each rack position has a barcode that is used to identify its position on the Reagent Table. When a reagent, calibrator, or control is placed onboard the Reagent Table, the analyzer reads the rack position barcode, and the reagent vial barcode to positively identify the reagent and its position. The Reagent Arm is located at the rear of the Reagent Table. The Reagent Arm has a probe that aspirates reagents from the Reagent Table and adds them to the sample in the cuvette. The Reagent Probe has a crash sensor to prevent it from being damaged. The Dispensing Table surrounds the Reagent Table. The Dispensing Table holds cuvettes into which sample plasma is added from the primary sample tube or cup. It also moves cuvettes throughout the Main Unit for processing. Tray No. 48 is located underneath the Sampler on the front of the Main Unit. It collects condensation fluid in case of high room humidity. The STAT/Diluent Table is located at the front of the main unit. This table has 5 STAT sample holders and 5 diluent holders. The temperature is not controlled in this area and remains approximately room temperature. The cover of this table is monitored and locked for safety during sample processing. The STAT/Diluent LED indicates whether this area is accessible or not. Both the STAT positions and the Diluent positions utilize an automatic barcode reading function to positively identify each diluent or sample loaded into this area. The Cuvette Hopper holds cuvettes used for sample processing. It is located on the upper right portion of the Main Unit. The Mechanical Stop Switch is located on the front of the Cuvette Hopper. The red Mechanical Stop Switch is used for immediate stoppage of all movement within the Main Unit and should be used only in an emergency situation. The green Start Button is located on the front of the Cuvette Hopper and is used to start sample processing The Alarm Indicator LED is located to the left of the Cuvette Hopper. This LED displays a color to indicate the status of the Main Unit. Flashing Green: Ready Flashing Orange: Analyzing Red: Error The Detector Unit, located behind the Reagent Table, contains 10 incubation wells and 10 detection wells. The Detector Unit incubates and analyzes the mixture of sample and reagent in the cuvette. The Information Processing Unit (IPU) Connector is located on the right side of the Main Unit and connects the IPU to the Main Unit. The Halogen Lamp is located behind a door on the right side of the Main Unit. This lamp is the light source used for all assays performed on the Sysmex® CS-2000i. Light from the Halogen lamp is transmitted through filters on the Multi-wavelength Filter Wheel to create light at 340nm, 405 nm, 575nm, 660nm, and 800nm. All 5 wavelengths of light are carried to the Detector Unit where they are used to determine the test reactions for all Clotting, Chromogenic, and Immunologic Assays. Three wavelengths of this light (405nm, 575nm, 660nm) are transmitted to the HIL Detector where it is used to determine if the sample is positive for Hemolysis, Icterus, and Lipemia The three Air Filters located on the back of the Main Unit block dust from entering the analyzer. Information Processing Unit: The Sysmex® CS-2000i is managed by using the Information Processing Unit or IPU for processing samples. This area of the system contains the IPU, a 17 inch Touch Panel Display Screen, Mouse, Keyboard, and Printer. The IPU uses Windows XP software with a CD burner. The IPU contains Settings information, Reagent information, Assay information as well as the ability to order assays, and view results. Pneumatic Unit The Pneumatic Unit supplies compressed air to the Main Unit to perform aspiration and dispensing for both the Sample and Reagent Arms. These pressures are monitored constantly by pressure sensors. The Pneumatic Unit has an Adjustment Knob on its front cover which is used to adjust the 0.22 MPa pressure for the Main Unit.

The reagent arm has a probe that aspirates reagents from the Reagent Table and adds them to the sample in the cuvette. The reagent arm has a crash sensor. The crash sensor prevents the Reagent probe from crashing into an object such as a vial cap. The crash sensor will sense the obstruction and tell the probe to move away from it, thus preventing the probe from being bent or broken.7Congratulations. You have learned about the Reagent Table.When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue.Congratulations! Now that you learned about the Reagent Table, let’s next look at the Light Shield Lid area. The Light Shield Lid protects the Sample Arm which aspirates and dispenses calibrators, controls, diluents, and samples. Light Shield Lid Area Learn more about Cap Piercer and Non-Cap Piercer The non-cap piercing model (Sysmex® CS-2000i) has a blunt ended probe to aspirate from a sample tube with the cap removed. The non-cap piercing probe has a crash sensor. The crash sensor on the Sysmex® CS-2000i sample probe prevents it from being damaged by detecting an obstruction and causing the probe to move away from the obstruction. The cap piercing model (Sysmex® CS-2100i, pictured) has a beveled edged needle that will pierce through a sample tube cap and includes a crash sensor. The crash sensor on the Sysmex® CS-2100i sample probe prevents it from being damaged by detecting an obstruction and causing the probe to move away from the obstruction. The crash sensor, however, does not prevent the probe from piercing a sample tube cap. When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue. Managing pre-analytical variables is critical in obtaining the most accurate results in hemostasis testing. HIL Detector performs pre-analytical check of the sample for: Hemolysis Icterus Lipemia HIL Detector Learn about the HIL Detector Plasma from the primary sample tube is aspirated by the Sample probe and placed into a cuvette on the Dispensing Table. The Dispensing Table rotates the cuvette to the HIL Detector. At the HIL Detector, light is transmitted at 405nm, 575nm, and 660nm through the cuvette and the absorbance is measured. The Sysmex® CS-2000i uses the absorbance readings of these three wavelengths to determine if the sample is Hemolysed, Icteric, or Lipemic. The HIL (Hemolysis, Icterus, and Lipemia) check is performed before sample measurement is started. If a sample is found to be positive for Hemolysis, Icterus, or Lipemia, it is noted on the Joblist.
