2.6 STAT Measurement
A single sample can be measured by setting it in the STAT port. The STAT port is convenient for interrupting normal
measurements to measure an urgent sample or to measure only one sample.
Prepare: Sample container
and adapter described below,
CONTROL DILUTION SET 80 (for hemolysis samples)
and protective gloves
Sample containers and adapters
2.6.1 Measuring a Sample During Normal Measurement
A single sample can be measured by using the STAT port during continuous measurements such as normal
measurement. However, STAT measurements cannot be performed during automatic calibration.
1 Prepare a sample for STAT measurement.
a Prepare a sample in a sample tube or sample cup.
• The volume of sample as shown on the right is required for
measurement.
Wear protective gloves to prevent exposure to pathogenic microbes.
Discard used samples and protective gloves in accordance with local regulations for
biohazardous waste.
Samples are not stirred in STAT measurements. If blood has sedimented due to centrifuging, invert the sample
tube to mix the sample before performing measurement. Otherwise, inaccurate measurement results will be
obtained.
Use sample cups when small volume of sample is available.
