(7) Analysis Mode and Sample Throughput
1) Analysis Mode
5 parameters are selected out of 7 parameters (14 parameters in CA-550 and CA-560) to perform
random analysis.
2) Sample Throughput
Maximum Throughput: approx. 54 tests/hour (when PT single parameter is measured)
Mean Throughput (PT, APTT, Fbg): approx. 40 tests/hour (when three parameters are measured at
the same time)
Mean throughput in this case means the mean throughput at the point of which an hour has passed from
a Start-key entry.
(8) Time Resolution
1) Coagulation
Time resolution is as follows depending on the elapsed time from the start of measurement.
0.1 second 2 through 120 seconds
0.2 second 120 through 240 seconds
1.0 second 240 through 600 seconds
2) Chromogenics Substrate Method and Immunoassay Method
The unit can continue performing sampling every second up to 600 seconds at maximum.
(9) Compensation functions
1) Setting of Coagulation Detection End Point
The coagulation detection point can be set every 1% within the range of 2 to 80%, enabling the data
calibration.
2) External compensation Function
The measured data is corrected with the linear equation.
(10) Required Volume of Plasma and Reagent

measurement of one sample are shown below. (Unit in µL)
