2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

2.1 Intended purpose

HumaFIA is a semi-automated time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay analyser, intended for quantitative
measurements of physiological or pathological parameters in human serum, plasma, or whole blood,
depending on the test parameter. The instrument is a closed system intended to be used only in combination
with HumaFIA SR reagents, as an aid to diagnosis, for screening or monitoring. For laboratory professional
use only.

2.2 Instrument structure

The instrument consists of the instrument shell, power supply, cassette reader by fluorescence technique,
display and a data management unit.
The instrument shell consists of two parts: the upper and lower shell. The upper shell can be removed from
the instrument so that it provides an easy access for service personnel.
The instrument is controlled by an internal software which can store up to 10,000 test results. The power
supply switch is located on the back of the instrument.
