(11) XYZ Driving Function
Pipette and sample catcher mechanism on the head unit (Z axis) is driven by the XY-axis mechanism to
dispense sample and reagent and transfer and discard the reaction tubes.
1) XY-axis Mechanism: Linear Slider driven by stepper motor
2) Z-axis Mechanism: Pipette and sample tube catcher are driven by one motor.
(12) Mixing Function
After dispensing the reagent, the reaction tube is vibrated and mixed by the miniature motor.
(13) Sample Data Storage Function
1) Contents of Data
(i) Measurement data
(ii) Setting values
(iii) Quality control data
(iv) Date (year, month, day, hour, minute)
2) Memory Capacity
(i) Data of 300 samples (maximum 1500 tests = 300 samples X 5 parameters). The analysis
print data is not stored once the power is OFF. As for the reaction curve, the latest 600 tests
are stored.
(ii) Quality control data: 12 kinds X 7 parameters X 180 plots (CA-510 to CA-540)
6 kinds X 14 parameters X 180 plots. To the Quality Control file, the
parameters of dilution magnification such as -Fbg, +Fbg, +DD, +DDPl, +SFD, and +PFD are
also included. (CA-550 and CA-560 only)
(14) Display and Input Function
1) Display Type
Graphic panel display + touch panel using a 3.2 X 4 inch liquid crystal display (white and black back
light)
2) Displayed Data
(i) Date
(ii) Measurement condition, Analysis status, Results
(iii) Stored sample: Stored sample list: Date, Time, Sample ID number, Parameter name,
Measured data, Reaction curves (CA-550 and CA-560 allow zooming in to view), Rack
number. (CA-550 and CA-560 only).
(iv) Quality control (QC data, QC chart)
(Only CA-550 and CA-560 can carry markings on screen display about the data beyond the
upper and lower limits of quality control. In addition, the CA-550 and CA-560 analyzers stores
the data of slight coagulation errors.)
(v) Standard curve (SC data, SC chart)
(vi) Operation messages
(vii) Error messages
(viii) Maintenance information and various setting values
(ix) Temperatures at incubation well, heater pipette, reagent cooler unit
3) Input Method
Change, select, and set functions on each screen by LCD touch panel method.
