1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Intended use The SRT 10/II analyzer is an automatic instrument controlled by a microprocessor and exclusively employed for analysis of the in vitro diagnostics determination (IVD) of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). It constantly and simultaneously scans 10 test tubes, which are custom-made for ESR analysis.
2.4.1 Human samples Always wear gloves and eye protective glasses when handling human samples. Treat all samples as potentially bio-hazardous and infectious. If any sample is spilt on the instrument, utilize the correct personal protective equipment (PPE-gloves, lab coat, etc.), wipe it up immediately and clean the contaminated surface with a disinfectant (e.g.sodium hypochlorite 0.5%) solution.
2.8 Additional Precautions The following symbols are placed on the instrument and/or on the outer box to assure correct usage: Caution In vitro diagnostic Consult instructions medical device for use Biological risks See chapter 2.6 Electrostatic discharge ‘Disposal and recycling’ sensitive device (ESDS) DC (direct current) Manufacturer...
3. INSTALLATION 3.1 Delivery contents Check contents of carton using this list • 1x SRT 10/II • 1x 12-volt power supply • 1x Power cable with Schuko plug • 1x Control unit (contains three ESR Tubes with different long plastic sticks) •...
Connect the SRT10/II to the electricity supply by plugging the 12V power supply into the intended power inlet on the SRT10/II. Only use the power supply provided. 3.3 Configuration Before switching on the analyzer, please set-up the dip-switch placed in the rear panel following the table below: Switch Function...

If the printer is connected, on the display appears this message: Print curve ON... Printer OK... If the printer is not enabled the following message appears: Printer OFF... if the temperature compensation is active, the following message appears on the display: 18°C temp.
4. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 4.1 Analyzer unit The SRT 10/II ESR analyzer is an automatic instrument controlled by a microprocessor and exclusively employed for analysis of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. It’s total absence of commands, its precision and its ability to obtain the result already corrected to a temperature of 18°C (according to Manley) in either 15, 30 or 60 minutes make it the most innovative and versatile system for this kind of analysis.
4.3 Display A 40-character two-line LCD display with backlight, allows a continuous monitoring of the analysis and a visualization of the results. On the display can be also shown a sample or a system error message. Please note that the display can indicate more than one results for each sample, according to dip-switch configuration set up by operator.

4.8 Performance criteria and limitations 1) PERFORMANCE CRITERIA A. Mechanical / Optical precision of detection +/- 0.2 mm B. Coefficient of determination (reading time 15 min.) = 0.958 C. Coefficient of determination (reading time 30 min.) = 0.970 D. Automatic temperature conversion Accepted range: 15°C - 32°C to 18°C.
5. OPERATING PROCEDURE 5.1 Reading principle Ten infrared barriers cover vertically the ten test tubes with a cycle of about 60”. The whole test tubes, every 0.2 mm gap are analyzed. As soon as the reading plate, including 10 pairs of I.R.

5.3 Sample collecting ® Samples must be collected following the vacuum technique with VACUETTE ESR Vacuum Test Tubes, 1.6 ml draw (Item Nr. 729093) or 1.5 ml draw (Item Nr.729073). During sample collecting to be sure to have the right volume of blood, it is necessary to wait until the test vacuum tube finished the blood drawing.
External agents a) Dilution ratio b) Bubbles c) Strongly hemolytic samples d) Sudden agitation e) Temperature f) Time after sample-taking g) Direct sunlight h) Foam i) Lipemic samples 5.5 Sample mixing When it is not possible to analyze the sample immediately after sample collecting, it must be ®...

5.8 Brief working instructions 1. Set up instrument: Connect power supply and printer, 2. Switch on printer and analyzer unit: On the display appears some information (i.e. software release) and this symbol: “ . ” appears for each free channel. It indicates free positions on which the operator can put samples.
6. TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION 6.1 Results correction to 18°C The results achieved are correlated to the method of reference, considering the room - temperature. SRT 10/II, measures constantly the inner temperature; further reconverts the values in according to the Manley table (1) shown below, at the temperature of 18 degrees. Therefore, this instrument guarantees a better reproducibility instead of instruments which perform results without temperature compensation.
7. PRACTICAL USE 7.1 How to Use the Instrument SRT 10/II is very simple to use and the procedure can be learnt quickly. Being already pre- set, no configuration is necessary after switching on, so the operator does not input data. For this reason there is no user interface keyboard.
7.2 Limit of the Instrument SRT 10/II reading limits is max. 140 mm. at 18°C. When a sample has a value > 140 mm, this message is displayed or printed: “> 140” 8. ERROR INFORMATION AND WARNINGS 8.1 Warnings information check the printer! This message appears when printer is enabled in the SRT 10/II, but not switched on.

9.2 Periodic test In order to assure the correct performance of instrument and obtaining precise results, it needs to perform a periodic test, once a month, which controls the accurate calibration of the device. The test has to be done using the Greiner Control Unit (Control Tool). This tool can be used by service people to check the mechanical calibration and functionality of the instrument.
10. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Before calling a service technician, please check the handling of sample collection, mixing procedures and operating instructions. ALARM OR TROUBLE CAUSE REMEDY a) sample level high or low a)repeat sample collection b) the label was not placed in its b)replace label and repeat analysis proper position.

Safety Requirements and Restrictions. Personal protections. When performing this procedure, wear, at a minimum, safety glasses, gloves and disposable lab coat (according Good Laboratory Practice). Spills of fluid waste prior to decontamination. Wipe up spills with paper towels. Clean area with decontamination solution. Dispose of paper towels in a container designated for biohazard waste or autoclave before putting in general trash.
Page 36
Decontamination Procedure Although the Instrument only uses closed ESR tubes and therefore the contamination of the Instruments is reducing to an absolute minimum one has to treat any foreign material on any surface of the Instrument as a biohazard for safety. Treated surface should remain in contact with decontamination solution for at least 10 minutes.
