3 ROUTINE UTILIZATION AND MEASUREMENT

3.2 Sampling modes

The HumaFIA software provides 3 modes to run a sample.
a) Auto sample mode
b) STAT sample mode
c) Fast mode

3.2.1 Auto sample mode, with internal incubation

Upon selection of Auto sample, the following screen is displayed:
Figure 3-1 Auto-sample mode for automated incubation and reading of tests
Auto sample mode allows the automated sampling for a test. The analyser automatically manages the
incubation time and the reading of test results after the incubation of the test is completed inside the analyser.
If the incubation time is 1.5 minutes, e.g. for the CRP parameter, no other test can be run during that
incubation/testing time.
Use the Add sample button to add a new test to the worklist by selecting a patient name/ID and parameter
type. Refer to chapter 3.2.4 Add sample, patient data and parameter type below.
Pressing Insert cartridge for incubation closes the sample detail interface and starts the
software timer.
Add the patient sample to the cartridge and place the cartridge in the analyser before
pressing this button.
Pressing this button starts the automatic incubation timer. After incubation time, the reading
of the test is triggered automatically by the software. The result accuracy depends on the correct incubation
time. Therefore, the timing is very important when preparing the cartridge and starting the software timer.
The remaining incubation time is shown on the column Timer next to the hourglass, in the format mm:ss. In
the column LOT, the LOT number of the used cartridge kit is shown. The column Cut-off displays the clinical
cut-off value.
