1 Introduction
1.1 Application
The instrument type CoaDATA 501 (in the following titled as analyzer) as
described in this manual is an opto-mechanical coagulation analyzer which
applies the turbodensitometric measuring principle.
All routine coagulometric clotting tests such as Prothrombin time, activated
and partial Thromboplastin time, Fibrinogen, and single factor assays can
be performed with these types of instrument.
For in-vitro diagnostic use only!
1.2 Instrument Description
The analyzer is constructed in modular units. A liquid crystal display with
one row and 8 characters has been integrated for visual communication.
The arrow keys <-- / --> allow the operator to select the next step in the
menu. The numbers are for the entry of method parameters.
The Enter key is used to confirm an entry or a selection. The parameter
memory is accessed with the Mode-key. Any procedure can be cancelled or
stopped with the Esc-key.
The measuring channel is integrated into the 37.4°C incubation block with 1
position for reagent bottle and 4 positions for cuvettes.
Immediately after the analyzer has been switched on, an adjustment
provides cuvette detection. According to the instructions on the display
cuvette in or cuvette out, place a cuvette into the measuring channel or
remove a cuvette from the measuring channel.
The next step during a run is always shown in the display.
A measurement is automatically started by adding the reagent to a sample
cuvette.
Results can be printed via on optional, external printer or can be read from
the display.
At the left side of the analyzer is the connector for the external power
adapter located. The external power adapter can be connected to the mains
with a voltage range from 100V - 240V, 47 - 63Hz.
Via the connection to the main voltage the analyzer is automatically
switched on or off.
For data output an RS 232 C 6-pin interface is also located on the left side
of the analyzer.
