HA-8180V 1-3
1.1.2 Features
90 seconds per sample measurement in the Variant mode, and 48 seconds in the Fast mode.
It takes 90 seconds to measure HbA1
C and HbF and detect HbS and HbC (Variant mode). Tests for just HbA1C and
HbF are completed in 48 seconds (Fast mode).
Continuous measurements for up to 100 samples (when set to loop transportation)
The instrument can measure a maximum of 50 consecutive samples if sample rack transportation is set to “one-way
transportation”, and 100 samples if it is set to “loop transportation”.
* Sample rack transportation is set to “one-way transportation” at the time of shipment. If you prefer “loop
transportation”, contact your distributor.
Managing reagent information
Just by entering 10-digit reagent codes, you can store the expiration dates and lot numbers of the reagents (eluents,
hemolysis washing solution and calibrator) in the instrument. An error message appears on the screen if you try to enter
an incorrect or invalid code. Reagent information can be added to measurement result reports to show that the proper
reagents were used for measurements.
Easy to use
Priming before measurements is automated, so no action is needed from the time when power is activated to the time
when measurements start. A large color LCD makes measurement conditions and menu settings easy to read and
identify, which makes operation easy. Measurement results, instrument status and operating procedures are displayed,
while the remaining volume of reagent is shown on electronic graphs. Chromatograms can also be viewed along with
measurement results.
Highly accurate measurement results
Measurements are performed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), a technique that provides accurate
data on HbA1
C. A column is used to remove labile HbA1C. Stable HbA1C values, HbF values and chromatograms can
be obtained.
Sample tube stirring
Samples are automatically stirred before measurement, so stable measurement results can be obtained without
variations due to blood sedimentation.
Easy maintenance
Daily maintenance can usually be performed without tools as parts can be easily replaced and tightened by hand. In
addition, the prefilter is incorporated into the column, removing the need for prefilter replacement (as was necessary
with earlier models).
On-the-spot STAT measurement
A port specifically for STAT measurements is provided. So normal measurements can be interrupted to measure one
specific sample. STAT measurement can also be performed while the standby screen is displayed.
Fluid level detection sensor to prevent reagent shortages during measurement
Reagent levels are measured and, if low levels are detected, messages are displayed to notify the user. Measurement
continues until a reagent is used up, at which point measurement automatically stops.
Two-way online communications
An ordering system using barcode IDs can be built by connecting to a host terminal.
