1. Safety 1.1 Explanation of Symbols Warning indicates that misuse of the instrument could result WARNING in death or serious injury to a person. Caution, consult accompanying documents. Caution indicates that misuse of the instrument could result in mild CAUTION or serious injury to a person and/or damage to equipment.
2. Introduction The YSI 1500 SPORT is a portable, battery powered blood lactate analyzer intended for professional use in sports medicine applications. The SPORT is not intended for home use. It is designed to provide quick measurement of lactate in whole blood or plasma.
Reagents and injection devices for the SPORT analyzer are not packaged in the same carton as the instrument. Reagents come in a starter kit (YSI 1504); and injection devices (YSI 1501 or 1502) must be ordered separately.
3.2 Component Identification This section names the principal parts and describes their use. Figure 3.1 and Figure 3.2 identify each part. Figure Figure 3 3 3 3 ..1 1 1 1 SPORT SPORT Figure Figure SPORT SPORT 3 3 3 3 - - - - 2 2 2 2...

Injection Port is on the top of the Sample Chamber. Inside the port is a sensor that detects the insertion of a YSI injection device. A removable cap is threaded into the top of the Injection Port. This cap must be removed and replaced with the supplied threaded plug before moving or storing the instrument.
Page 14
Section 8.2 Preventative Maintenance. If your sample measuring protocol requires the total lysis of blood cells, or if you are going to preserve the samples in YSI 2372 Preservative Tubes for later analysis, you must refer to Appendix D Sample Preservation, for further information before proceeding.
Prepare 500 mL of Buffer solution, pour it into the Reference Bottle and add to it 4.5 cc of YSI 1530 30 mmol/L Calibration Standard. This should be measured out with the graduated syringe supplied in the 1504 Starter Kit. Replace the bottle lid and shake the bottle for 15 seconds to insure complete mixing.
(YSI 2392 is provided in the 1504 starter kit). Place one drop of salt solution on the probe face. Then, using the plastic membrane pack as an applicator, press the O-ring membrane assembly gently onto the probe face (Figure 3.4).
If the SPORT is stored with the power on and the charger disconnected, the battery will discharge to a level requiring a recharge within 3 days. YSI recommends that the SPORT be used with the battery charger whenever AC power is available. IMPORTANT: IMPORTANT: Probe polarization will be disrupted when power is turned off.

3.8 Printer Option While there is not a printer built into the instrument, there is a optional printer available either through YSI (Model 1506), or your local Hewlett Packard dealer. This printer, HP Model 82240, is a battery-powered unit controlled by an infrared signal that is generated from the SPORT.
Page 30
A similar printout is generated when calibrating and checking linearity. We recommend that the printer be used in this manner whenever possible for two reasons. One, if there were a complete electrical failure or accidental re- formatting of the memory, it could be possible that the sample results in memory may be lost or irretrievable.
The blood from a finger or earlobe prick should be collected in a capillary tube. If you use one of the YSI tubes, which are preset to 25 microliters, you must inject it with the capillary tube injector. You can also draw venapuncture blood from a vial, vacutainer, or YSI Preservative Tube with the preset tube.
YSI Model 1501, 25 microliter Syringepet YSI Model 1501, 25 microliter Syringepet YSI Model 1501, 25 microliter Syringepet YSI Model 1501, 25 microliter Syringepet The Syringepet can be used to extract a 25 microliter sample from either a vacutainer or a capillary tube of greater volume than 25 microliters, see Figure 4.1.
YSI Model 1502 Capillary Tube Injector YSI Model 1502 Capillary Tube Injector YSI 1505 capillary tubes are provided in the Starter Kit. These tubes, which can be ordered separately, are preset to a volume of 25 microliters. There is a double white band on the tube opposite the end that you put into the sample.
Page 34
When you adjust the clamp, it is not necessary to unscrew it completely. Never should more than one full turn be necessary. WARNING: WARNING: WARNING: WARNING: Any sample carryover on the outside of the tube could affect the measurement. You should wipe off the tube or Syringepet needle with a sterile wipe, like a Kimwipe.
Ohio. The immobilized enzyme membrane was invented by YSI and is covered by U.S. Patent 4,073,713. This sensor technology has been used successfully since 1975 in the YSI 23A Blood Glucose Analyzer; then later in the YSI 27 Industrial Analyzer, the YSI 23L Blood Lactate Analyzer, the YSI 2300 STAT Glucose/L- Lactate Analyzer, and the YSI 2700 SELECT Chemistry Analyzer.

Reaction 1 (lactate): Lactate + O Pyruvate + H Reaction 2: H + 2e Pt anode The platinum electrode is held at an anodic potential and is capable of oxidizing many substances other than H . To prevent these reducing agents from contributing to sensor current, the membrane contains an inner layer consisting of a very thin film of cellulose acetate.

5.5 Calibration The SPORT uses one lactate standard (YSI 2327 5 mmol/L) for calibration and two lactate standards are available for checking linearity (YSI 2328 15mmol/L and YSI 1530 30 mmol/L). The following is the recommended calibration frequency: Auto Mode...
Aging Membrane Response You can check linearity with YSI 1530 30 mmol/L standard, after every calibration. You can also check it at "mid-range" with YSI 2328 15 mmol/L standard. Both standards should be injected as if it were a sample.
If this does not correct the problem, try turning the main power switch off and on again. If this does not help, call YSI Technical Support for repair assistance. Also at power up and prior to each sample cycle, the processor does a fast self test of the electronics to see if any stored data has been corrupted, or if the software has been physically changed.
Temperature Error Checks Temperature Error Checks Temperature Error Checks Temperature Error Checks The sample chamber temperature is checked at several different times during sampling to assure that the rate of change is not adversely affecting result reliability. If the error limits are exceeded, an appropriate error message will be displayed.

This fault is generated when the sample concentration exceeds the upper limit of the dynamic range (30 mmol). No result will be stored in memory. • POSSIBLE CAUSE: Sample concentration is too high, resulting in high probe current. • CORRECTIVE ACTION: Dilute sample 1:1 with the same buffer solution being used in the instrument and repeat.
CONCENTRATION LO This warning is generated when the Reference solution concentration is calculated to be less than 80% of the injected Calibration standard (YSI 2327 5 mmol/L Lactate Std.). It is possible that significantly high or low Reference solution concentrations can have a negative effect on the performance of the SPORT at the upper most part of the dynamic range.
If it occurs during calibration calibration it is because the measured reference current after calibration calibration the calibrator injection is different from the measured reference current after the linearity injection by more than 5%. If it occurs during sampling sampling sampling it is because the measured reference current after sampling the sample injection is different from the measured reference current after the...

11. Appendix B–Sample Collection and Handling The YSI 1500 SPORT is not intended for home use. Proper sample collection and preparation, by a professional, are vital factors in obtaining reliable results with the YSI SPORT. This section covers the basic guidelines for collecting and preparing whole blood, plasma and serum samples.
Sodium fluoride and oxalate in combination in a total concentration of 2 mg/ml of blood. Heparin sodium as commonly supplied in Vacutainer collection tubes. WARNING: The YSI SPORT is not suitable for use with samples containing thymol or other phenol preservatives. These are interfering substances.
WARNING: The YSI Model 1500 is not suitable for use with samples containing thymol or other phenol preservatives. These are interfering substances. Warning: Frozen blood-bank blood, which contains a high percentage of glycerine, is not a suitable specimen for diagnostic work with the Model 1500.
Page 110
WARNING: The YSI SPORT is not suitable for use with samples containing thymol or other phenol preservatives. These are interfering substances. Before taking a sample from a whole blood specimen, any cells which may have settled out must be resuspended. Invert the collection tube three times, gently enough not to cause frothing, just before sampling.
12. Appendix C–Cell Lysing Obtaining reliable results that have value requires a basic understanding of what is going on inside the whole blood sample, at least as it relates to lactate. Lactate is always present in the blood plasma at some level due to minor anaerobic activity.
If your sample measuring protocol requires the total lysis of blood cells, or if you are going to preserve the samples with the YSI 2315 Preservative Tube Kit for later analysis, another step is required in the reagent preparation process explained in Section 3.3 Reagent Preparation.
Page 113
WARNING: If you switch from running with, to running without the lysing agent, or vice versa, you cannot get reliable results unless you allow sufficient time for complete removal of the agent from the fluid system. 12 12 12 12- - - - 3 3 3 3...
SPORT when running samples preserved in YSI preservative tubes. You cannot use the YSI preservative tubes unless the lysing agent is used in the instrument when the actual measurement takes place. This is due to the fact that the preservative tubes contain a detergent. This detergent, when introduced into a system without the cell lysing agent, can affect the membrane response and cause incorrect readings.
Many reducing agents would give rise to a false signal current (and falsely elevated reading) if they succeeded in reaching the sensing anode of the YSI probe. Most of these are excluded from the probe by the cellulose acetate layers...
The following reducing agents may result in an elevated background current when present at low levels (only a few milligrams per liter): Aniline Phenol Thiocarboyhdrazide Thiourea Resorcinol Guaiacol 2-Mercaptoethanol Ethyl Carbazate Formic Acid Hydrazide Catechol Acetaminophen The following materials may cause trouble at higher concentrations: 2-Amino-4-nitrophenol Hydroquinone p-Cresol...
YSI has tested hundreds of substances to determine whether they have any effect on the sensor system used in the SPORT. YSI has also verified that the addition of Triton X-100 to the SPORT instrument buffer does not significantly alter the extent to which these materials interfere with the instrument.
It may be possible that in some situations the 1500 SPORT may appear to be overly sensitive to "TEMPERATURE STABILITY ERRORS". If that is the case, there are simple precautions that should be taken to insure the quality of the results.
