60 - 100 1/0.1 Principles of Operation The OPTI CCA-TS is a microprocessor-controlled medical instrument measuring optical fluorescence from discrete sensors called optical electrodes (optodes). A disposable, single-use cassette contains all of the elements needed for calibration, sample measurement and waste containment. Specific calibration information from the cassette is scanned into the analyzer by holding the cassette package in front of the bar code scanner.
The analyzer contains no reagents, blood or waste. Contents Before you begin installing your OPTI CCA-TS Analyzer, take a moment to look over the contents to ensure you have the following: • Power supply with power cord • Battery...

5.1.6 OPTI Medical ComfortSamplers ™ Blood may be collected for analysis on the OPTI CCA-TS with the OPTI Medical ComfortSampler to provide a filled shielded capillary tube. After collection, the ComfortSampler should be capped and transported in a horizontal position to the instrument for analysis within 30 minutes, as with all specimens collected in capillary tubes.
To prevent such errors, first insert the OPTI CCA-TS cassette into the analyzer to initiate calibration. Next, mix the syringe sample well by rolling the syringe for at least 60 seconds, after expelling any trapped bubbles, then immediately measure in the OPTI CCA-TS.
This may affect your tHb results. Make sure your sample is free of trapped gas bubbles and completely mixed, by rolling the syringe between the palms of your hands and inverting end over end for at least one minute, just prior to sample introduction. Operator’s Manual – OPTI CCA-TS...

8 OPERATING PRINCIPLES 8.3 Operation The OPTI CCA-TS is a microprocessor-based instrument measuring optical fluorescence. A disposable, single-use cassette contains all the elements needed for calibration, sample measurement and waste containment. After scanning the calibration information specific to a cassette into the instrument by holding the cassette package in front of a convenient bar code scanner, the cassette is placed into the measurement chamber.
125 µL. The OPTI Medical capillary tubes (MC0024) are ideally suited with a minimum volume, filled, of 200 µL. The capillary tubes for pH, blood gas, and electrolyte analysis should not be used for samples taken for the analysis of lithium. Operator’s Manual – OPTI CCA-TS...
8.4.6 OPTI Medical ComfortSamplers ™ Blood may be collected for analysis on the OPTI CCA-TS with the OPTI Medical ComfortSampler to provide a filled shielded capillary tube. After collection, the ComfortSampler should be capped and transported in a horizontal position to the instrument for analysis within 30 minutes, as with all specimens collected in capillary tubes.
To prevent such errors, first insert the OPTI CCA-TS cassette into the analyzer to initiate calibration. Next, mix the syringe sample well by rolling the syringe for at least 60 seconds, after expelling any trapped bubbles, then immediately measure in the OPTI CCA-TS.

On these systems, multiple patient samples are run using the same reagent system. The OPTI CCA-TS is one of a new generation of systems where all reagents needed to run a single patient measurement are pre- packaged in a single disposable cassette.
3.3.2.4 of this manual. 8.5.8 Specific Performance Characteristics All performance data in this section was generated on OPTI CCA-TS systems with the SRC run daily to check QC. Quality control material was run with each new lot of cassettes.
8 OPERATING PRINCIPLES 8.5.9 Limitations The OPTI CCA-TS system is designed to measure whole blood, serum, or plasma, to be controlled with Standard Reference Cassettes on a daily basis, and with aqueous solutions for each new lot of cassettes. Aqueous controls are portable and quite convenient to use with the OPTI CCA-TS system, however, their low oxygen carrying capacity and temperature sensitivity is well known.
These substances were selected on the basis of their optical absorbance or fluorescence properties likely to affect the optical signal measured by the OPTI CCA-TS, or the optical properties of the sensor measured by the analyzer. To cause interference to the optical sensors, the substances must be highly mobile (low molecular weight) and highly colored, in order to penetrate the optode membrane barriers quickly (within the 90 sec.

The OPTI CCA-TS utilizes an internal Na sensor to actively compensate and correct for this sensitivity. That is, the OPTI CCA-TS’s reported pH has no measurable interference from hyponatremic or hypernatremic samples, nor for ionic strength variations within the physiologic limits of 100 to 190 mmol/L.

Wherever possible, linearity for the OPTI CCA-TS measurement has been established against reference materials or methods. The linearity of the dry pH sensor has been established versus the standard pH sensor which is already approved for use on the OPTI CCA-TS system.
