2.5 Normal Measurement
In normal measurement, multiple samples are continuously measured using the sample racks.
2.5.1 Preparing Samples
Prepare: Protective gloves
For sample containers, adapters, sample racks and other required items, see “ Items required for normal
measurement” on page 2-17.
Wear protective gloves to prevent exposure to pathogenic microbes.
Discard liquid waste, used samples and protective gloves in accordance with local
regulations for biohazardous waste.
Perform HbA1C calibration before the instrument is used for the first time after installation (see “2.8. HbA1C
Calibration” on page 2-37).
Samples without plasma cannot be measured. Dilute samples from which plasma has been removed with
DILUENT 80 and measure as hemolysis samples. Measuring samples without plasma in a whole blood
sample rack will cause inaccurate measurement results.
Use suitable sample racks. The following may occur if the wrong sample rack is used:
• Accurate measurement results may not be obtained.
• Measuring whole blood sample with the hemolysis pair rack or hemolysis control rack may seriously
degrade the column. If whole blood is measured with these racks, it is recommended to replace the
column with a new one.
• If a sample tube with a barcode label is mistakenly set in the whole blood pair rack instead of a normal
rack, the measurement results of other samples are reported for the IDs of samples in odd-numbered
ports.
