All samples should be handled as potentially infectious material and treated as a
biohazard.
7.2 Sample Types and Modes
The ‘ELite 5’ analyzer is designed to process the following sample types:
•
Whole human blood to determine the hematology parameters of the blood,
•
Quality control (QC) materials for quality control purposes,
•
Calibration material for calibration of the hematology parameters.
QC samples are artificially modified human or human and animal blood samples with known
parameter values. QC samples can be stored for a period of time as indicated by the
manufacturer.
The ‘ELite 5’ analyzer works in the following modes. The sample mode must be selected
before a measurement starts:
•
Blank mode: no sample need be presented to run a blank. Blank mode checks that
the measuring system is operating correctly and that blank measurement results are
acceptable.
•
Human blood mode: choose one of five human blood modes (Human, Male, Female,
Alternate 1 or Alternate 2). Each mode has a unique set of normal ranges associated
with it. NOTE: Alternate 1 and Alternate 2 are sample modes that are different than
Human, Male and Female and have user-definable normal ranges.
•
Control (QC) mode: the hematological parameters of QC materials are known prior to
analysis. Controls are used to check the long term stability of the ‘ELite 5’ analyzer.
Calibration with a calibration material is not one of the ‘ELite 5’ sample modes, but a specific
procedure that can be accessed from the Calibration icon on the main menu.
7.3 Sample Identification
Use caution and ensure accurate data entry when manually entering sample ID or patient ID
information into the user interface of ‘ELite 5’ analyzer to avoid possible misidentification of
sample results.
The following sample information items are used to uniquely identify the samples:
•
Sample Mode
•
Measurement time: assigned automatically by the ‘ELite 5’ analyzer
•
Result ID: unique database identifier automatically assigned by the ‘ELite 5’ analyzer
•
Sample ID: assigned by the operator
-
The ‘ELite 5’ doesn’t require the sample ID to be unique
-
The sample ID can be submitted by:
Manual typing
Bar code reading (manual or Autosampler)
Auto-increment
-
The sample ID is not applicable on blank measurements
•
Patient:
-
A record from the patient database connected to a measurement
