SYSMEX XE-5000 - Remaining Reagent Volume Function

CHAPTER 9 Cleaning and Maintenance

9.15 Remaining reagent volume function
The remaining reagent volume is calculated, based on the
container volume entered at reagent registration, by using the
analysis count to estimate the volume of reagent used.
The remaining reagent volume is displayed as a bar graph on
the Remaining Reagent Volume screen at the IPU, and as a
numeric value on the Reagent setting screen at the Main Unit.
Note:
• As a csv file synchronizes to the filter, the data output
in this process will be the one currently shown on the
screen. A comma (,) in the comment column will be
automatically transferred after converting into a
space in the output file.
• Even when a save process is terminated due to the
lack of space in the drive or other reasons, the
previous data saved before the error happens will be
kept and retained.
Information
The remaining reagent volume is calculated based on
the container volume which was registered. If an
incorrect container volume is entered, the actual
reagent volume and the displayed volume may not
agree with.
If a partially-used reagent is set, manually enter the
reagent container volume. The remaining reagent
volume should be used as a guide only.
Note:
If a reagent feeding unit or a similar device is used, it
may not be possible to use the remaining reagent
volume function.
For reagents (SNR, RED) which include the dye and
bottle as a set, the display indicates the volume in the
bottle.
