In agreement with the requirements of the German Medical Association, a test of the device function (see operating instructions, chapter 8.5) is integrated in the Vario Photometer II, therefor a daily test by means of a standard manual test (German Medical Association, part B, chapter 2.1.5, paragraph (2) is not necessary.
Measuring process Endpoint measurement The absorbance is measured after reaching the endpoint. It is measured against the reagent’s blank count. Parameters: Haemoglobin SLS (HB SLS), Erythrocytes (ERY), Haematocrit (HCT), HDL Cholesterol (HDL/CHO) Calculation: Concentration = Absorbance x Factor The erythrocyte and haematocrit counts are determined using stored reference curves.
Multi-point measurement with consideration of the sample blank value and recognition of the endpoint After measuring the sample blank value (=measurement 1) the colour reaction in the cuvette is started. The reaction process is monitored by the device (=measurement 2). The measuring process is terminated as soon as the endpoint is reached.
Individual haematocrit values can be considered, they will be requested before calculation. The default setting is an HCT value of 40%. Please note: If the sample material is serum/plasma, the HCT value must always be set to 0%. 7.5.2 Creatine Kinase from serum/plasma <CK 121> The reaction in the cuvette is started by adding the sample.
If it becomes obvious during the test that one of the device functions does not correspond to the required settings, <SERVICE> will appear in the display. In this case, switch the device off. Please call Diaglobal GmbH service (Tel. +49 (0) 30 6576 2597) or contact your specialist retailer. Test selection Press the <ON/ENTER>...
Measurement range controls The measurement ranges of all measurement results shown in the display are verified by an integrated measurement range control. If the measurement range is exceeded, an error is displayed. The measurement ranges that are separately defined for each parameter are documented on the respective package inserts as well as in this operating manual, chapter 9, Technical Data.

If the sample is below the black ring mark, this will lead to incorrect negative measurement results. In this case, correction is hardly possible due to the air bubble that will form when trying to collect more blood. 7. Before the capillary is placed in the cuvette, the lower area must be carefully wiped on the outside with a cellulose swab to remove sample particles attached to the capillary.
