Operation – Part 1 Operation – Part 1 Introduction This part of the instructions for use summarises all the information needed for daily operation of the equipment. In Part 2 there is a summary of all the additional information important for understanding the functions, additional functions and certain sources of error.
“DC 12V”) and insert the mains connection lead plug into the socket. Connecting the printer (see Fig. 4.1): If the SUPER GL easy / easy+ is used with the DPU 414 printer, the printer’s voltage supply comes via the second power supply unit connection. The voltage adapter must be switched between the printer and the power supply unit.

The SUPER GL easy / easy+ works with pre-diluted reagents. A prefilled reaction cup with appropriate capillary tube is required for each analysis. For measurements on the SUPER GL easy / easy+ you also need the appropriate biosensor, calibrator cups and appropriate control material.
Operation – Part 1 4.5.2 Sample preparation Please follow the instructions in the packaging inserts for the reaction cups and calibrator for sample preparation. Please follow the following instructions additional to the above instructions: When taking samples of capillary blood, the tissue must not be squeezed under any circumstances.

Operation – Part 1 Taking capillary blood from an earlobe or finger pad and filling the capillary tube to above both markings Make sure you fill the tube correctly (sufficient quantity of blood, no air bubbles, no drops of blood on the end of the capillary tube, etc.) Carefully wipe the outside of the capillary tube Break the capillary tube at the correct spot (the correct...
Note that the calibration cups are not fully emptied and that a small residue remains in them. When the SUPER GL easy / easy+ requests a new calibration cup, a new one must be inserted, even though there is still some residue in the old one.
This menu item is only available if a bar code reader (or a PS/2 keyboard) is connected. The SUPER GL easy / easy+ automatically recognizes a supported bar code reader. Please ask the manufacturer or your supplier for supported bar code readers.
The DPU 414 printer provided for use with the equipment has several connection options. To set/program the printer for use with the SUPER GL easy / easy+ the following steps are needed: 1. When switching on the printer keep the “on line” button pressed. You will then receive a printout of the current settings.
Menue button repeatedly. Apart from specialist knowledge, you also need precise knowledge of the menu construction of the SUPER GL easy / easy+ for the following functions. You can find an overview of the menu guide in Fig. 4.3.
Operation – Part 2 5.2.2.1 Calibration By pressing the Menue key you reach the menu item “Calibration” if the measuring method for glucose or lactate is active. In the second row of the display, you can choose between “yes” or “no” assigned to the two device buttons.
After reaching the desired time, press ENTER to confirm. 5.2.2.8 Plasma reference glucose As described in chapter 3.3.3, the SUPER GL easy+ could display the measured whole blood samples as plasma reference values. So it is necessary to adjust this function.

Operation – Part 2 If a control is activated, a sub-menu for this control is stepped through consisting of three items: The number in the middle of the second row of the display is for internal purposes only and is of no importance for the set-up.
Operation – Part 2 DIL switch settings At the SUPER GL easy / easy+ could be chosen which parameter could be measured and in which unit the values of several parameters should be displayed. This happens by using the DIL switches, but note that the selected parameter depends on the sensor in the device.
Functions of the cards The Super GL easy / easy+ is equipped with a card reader allowing various functions to be made more user friendly. Various cards with the following designations and functions are available:...
Quality Assurance in Medical Laboratories (RiliBÄK)” in their valid version. The responsible person for the device has to catch up the valid rules. Self contained the software of the SUPER GL easy / easy+ affords following support of quality control: The Super GL easy stores the measuring values of active controls in separate control memories.
Our service hotline is available by telephone free of charge. Maintenance The SUPER GL easy / easy+ needs servicing once a year by specialist staff assigned and authorised by the manufacturer. A warning will appear on the display once the service interval has elapsed.
6.3.3 Changing the containerkit The SUPER GL easy / easy+ is operated with what is known as a containerkit. This is a system solution/waste bottle combination specially produced for this type of analyser. It is hung on the back of the analyser and connected by the tubes to the analyser tubing.
Maintenance and troubleshooting To avoid disruption in the work process of the analyser and soiling, we recommend changing the containerkit only when the operating status is “Stand by” and when there is an inbuilt rinse vessel and sample canula. Changing the containerkit should be carried out quickly, as liquid is expelled during the rinse processes carried out from time to time.
Maintenance and troubleshooting Please note for installing the pump head (is situated under the sensor – fig. 6.4) that rounded side of the pump head is shown to the door and the flat side is shown to the black panel. If you install the pump head you have to hear a Click and after installing you should not remove it from the axle.
Maintenance and troubleshooting Reporting and repairing faults 6.4.1 Warnings Before reading out the results, the analyser checks whether the set warning limits have been exceeded. The following warnings are given on the display and the printer: Warning Meaning ++++ Measurement range exceeded ---- Measurement range below limits Sample...
Maintenance and troubleshooting 6.4.3 Equipment errors There is the possibility that you can’t read anything at the display; in this case switch off the device and switch it on again. If you to see the last measuring values follow the steps described in chapter “display measuring results”. If the display is everlasting unreadable you have to call the service.
