    5. MEASUREMENT 5.1 Sampling The sample is taken up with an end-to-end capillary and hemolyzed in a micro test tube, pre-filled with a hemolyzing solution. This involves thinning the sample by 1:51. Capillary blood, venous blood, plasma or serum can be used as sample material. Refer to the instructions for use of the used chip sensor.
  • Page 27 Risk of infection, wear protective gloves! Clean and disinfect the puncture site and allow it to dry. Residues of sweat and disinfecting solution can falsify the results. Figure 19 - Disinfection Press lightly on the fingertip and puncture from the side using a suitable lancing device.
  • Page 28 a. Correctly filled capillary. b. Capillary is not completely filled and contains air bubbles. This capillary must be disposed of. c. Capillary with excess blood at the end. This capillary must be carefully wiped off. Figure 22 - Filled capillaries Remove excess blood at the end of the capillary.
  • Page 29: Other Sample Materials

    The sample prepared in this way can be measured immediately. It is recommended to measure as soon as possible. The glucose and lactate concentration in hemolyzed sample, in closed and not punctured micro test tubes, is stable at room temperature for a storage period of 5 days.
  • Page 30: Sample Measurement

    5.2 Sample measurement Place the samples to be measured in the sample positions. Pressing the Perform measurement button (2) starts the measurement process. Figure 26 – Home screen view The device recognizes and runs inserted micro test tubes automatically. Depending on the state of calibration, either the calibration of the device takes place first and then the sample measurement, or the sample measurement takes place directly.
  • Page 31 The screen shown in Figure 27 is shown at the end of the measurement process. The information that is shown is described below. Figure 27 - Measurement Screen No.. Item Description Shows the measured parameter, the current measurement value and Measuring Channel 1 the unit in channel 1.

    6.2 Cleaning / Disinfection of the flow system The chip sensor is destroyed by the used solutions. However, a chip sensor has to be in the measuring channel. Only carry out this procedure if the sensor needs to be changed or an old sensor or dummy sensor is available.
  • Page 36: Exchange Pump Tube

    Insert the new sensor as illustrated in Figure 14 to 16. Once the measuring channel is equipped correctly, the “Sensor Replacement” window opens. Here, you must enter whether the sensor you just inserted is “New” or “Used”. It is very important to enter correctly as the device runs different conditioning programs.

TECHNICAL DATA Measurement principle Enzymatic - amperometric Glucose: 0,5-50 mmol/l (9-900 mg/dl) Measurement range Lactate: 0,5-40 mmol/l (5-360 mg/dl) Sample material Blood, plasma or serum Sample volume 20 µl / 10 µl Expected lifetime 5 years Ambient conditions during operation +15 °C to +35 °C Temperature Relative humidity...
  • Page 47: Theoretical Principles

    9. THEORETICAL PRINCIPLES 9.1 Reference ranges For specification of reference ranges there must be differentiated between whole blood glucose and serum/plasma glucose. Based on the different content of water depending on the hematocrit (Hct: solid parts) value, the measured glucose value in hemolysed whole blood is always lower than in plasma and serum, which show the same glucose value.
  • Page 48: Calibration

    9.3 Calibration The calibration of the device takes place shortly before measurement. A glucose/lactate solution of known concentration (12 mmol/l, thinned 1:51) is measured on the device. The measured current signal and the corresponding glucose/lactate concentration are used as base for calculation of unknown concentrations. The value of the calibrator for glucose is traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards &...
