Intended Use
The Pima Analyser is a portable bench-top xed volume cytometer used for
the processing and analysis of a Pima CD4 test cartridge.
For in vitro diagnosc use. Designed to perform in a laboratory as well as in
non-laboratory environments, the Pima Analyser can be operated on external
power or by using an on-board rechargeable baery.
The Pima Analyser requires no maintenance.
Test Principle
The Pima test consists of a disposable Pima test cartridge, containing dried
reagents, and the Pima Analyser. A low sample volume of approx.
25 microliters (µL) of capillary or venous whole blood is collected into the test
cartridge, which is then capped.
The Pima test cartridge is inserted into the Pima Analyser and the sample
sealed within the cartridge is processed. During the course of test processing,
data is recorded, analyzed and interpreted using soware embedded in the
Pima Analyser.
Upon compleon of the test the cartridge is removed from the Pima Analyser
and a test result is displayed.
Data Handling
The Pima Analyser provides for data entry (Operator ID, Sample ID),
archiving and connecvity to printers and data storage media.
All results are saved in an on-board archive and may be retrieved and
downloaded by the operator at any me aer the test.
A Pima Test Report may also be printed using an aached external USB Printer.
