Arkray ADAMS A1c User Manual

2.5 Normal Measurement
HA-8190V 2-17
Items required for normal measurement
Prepare sample containers, adapters and sample racks for the samples to measure, in the sequence indicated in the
following flow chart. The underlined items are not included with the instrument.
*1: Anemia rack
Use the anemia rack for whole blood samples from patients previously diagnosed as anemic.
Samples on the anemia rack are measured at a lower dilution ratio than samples on the normal racks.
However, A1c values may not accurately represent the mean blood sugar level over the past 2 or 3 months, if the
patient shows signs of anemia because blood corpuscles are short-lived. Therefore, base any diabetes
determination on a comprehensive diagnosis of blood sugar level and other factors.
*2: Sample containers for whole blood
Sample tube: Recommended. Samples are stirred, so stable measurement results can be obtained without
variations due to blood sedimentation.
Sample cup: When small volume of sample is available or when measuring few samples. Samples are not stirred.
*3: Barcode labels and sample tubes
Prepare empty sample tubes. Sample IDs are read from the barcode labels attached to the sample tubes.
REFERENCE:
If sample rack transportation is set to “loop transportation”, the start rack (START) is needed in addition to the
sample racks specified in the flow chart above.
