1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT
1.1 Overall view of the unit
Figure 1
The MINI CUBE module consists of a single body containing all the operating functions
necessary for analyzing the sample. The instrument has 4 housings to insert the samples.
The motor lifts the reading unit that, with the help of four optical sensors (one per
position) verifies the suitability of the sample and detects the level at baseline and after
20 minutes of sedimentation.
The sample is detected when it is put into the test tube. The optical sensor of each
position scans the inserted test tube, checking that it contains an adequate volume of
blood and identifying the type of tube: normal (13x75 mm EDTA tube) or pediatric (BD
Microtainer®, BD Microtainer® MAP, Greiner MiniCollect® or Sarstedt Microvette® APT
EDTA tubes).
The function of the beeper is to alert the operator during various stages of the operating
cycle or in the event of errors.
