System Principles
3.3 Aspiration
If you are to analyze a whole blood sample, present the sample to the analyzer directly,
and the analyzer will aspirate 9 μL of the whole blood sample.
If you are to analyze a capillary blood sample under the pre-dilute mode, you should first
manually dilute the sample (20 μL capillary sample needs to be diluted by 0.7 mL of diluent to
form a 1:36 dilution), and then present the pre-diluted sample to the analyzer, which will
aspirate 198uL of the sample.
3.4 Dilution
Usually in blood samples, the cells are too close to each other to be identified or counted.
For this reason, the diluent is used to separate the cells so that they draw through the
aperture one at a time as well as to create a conductive environment for cell counting.
Moreover, red blood cells usually outnumber white blood cells by 1,000 times. Because red
blood cells usually have no nucleus, they are eliminated when the lyse breaks down their cell
walls. For this reason, lyse need to be added to the sample to eliminate the red cells before
the WBC counting. The analyzer provides whole blood mode and predilute mode for the
analysis of different sample types.
3.5 WBC Measurement
3.5.1 Measurement Principle:

 WBC measurement principle
The WBCs are counted by the impedance method. The analyzer aspirates certain volume of
sample, dilutes it with certain volume of conductive solution, and delivers the dilution to the
metering unit. The metering unit has a little opening which is called "aperture". A pair of
electrodes is positioned on both sides of the aperture, and creates a constant-current supply.
As cells are poor conductors, when each particle in the diluted sample passes through the
aperture under the constant negative pressure, a transitory change in the direct-current
resistance between the electrodes is produced. The change in turn produces a measurable
electrical pulse which is proportional to the particle size. And when the particles pass the
aperture in succession, a series of pulses are produced between the electrodes. The number
of pulses generated indicates the number of particles passed through the aperture; and the
amplitude of each pulse is proportional to the volume of each particle.
Each pulse is amplified and compared to the internal reference voltage channel, which only
accepts the pulses of certain amplitude. All the collected pulses are thus classified based on
the reference voltage ranges of different channels, and the number of the pluses in the WBC
channel indicates the number of the WBC particles. The cell size distribution width is
represented by the number of particles falling in each channel.

System Principles

3.5.2 WBC-Related Parameters

 White Blood Cell count
WBC (109/L) is the number of leukocytes measured directly by counting the leukocytes
passing through the aperture.
Sometimes there are nucleated red blood cells (NRBC) presenting in the sample. While the
lyse will not be able to break their nuclear membrane, these NRBCs will also be counted as
WBCs. Therefore when NRBCs are found during microscopic exam, follow below formula to
modify the WBC count:
In the formula, WBC′ is corrected WBC count result; WBC is the WBC count provided by
the analyzer; and NRBC indicates the number of NRBCs found when every 100 WBCs are
counted.
 3-DIFF of WBC
Lyses and diluents change the sizes of each type of WBCs in various ways and at different
time. The WBCs are thus separated into 3 parts (from the largest size to the smallest):
lymphocytes, mid-sized cells (including monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils) and
granulocytes.
The analyzer then calculate the lymphocyte percentage (Lym%), mid-sized cell percentage
(Mid％) and granulocyte percentage (Gran%) (All presented in %) based on the WBC
histograms and in accordance with below formulae:
3-3
System Principles
In the formulae: PL indicates the number of cells falling in the lymphocyte region, PM the
number of cells falling in the mid-sized cell region, and PG the number of cells falling in the
granulocyte region. All three parameters are presented in 109/L.
When the three percentages are obtained, the analyzer automatically proceeds to calculate
the lymphocyte number (Lym#), mid-sized cell number (Mid#) and granulocyte number (Gran#)
by below formulae , all parameters expressed in 109/L.
Lym％, Mid％ and Gran％ are expressed in %, while WBC is in 109/L.
 White blood cell histogram
Besides the count results, the analyzer also provides a WBC histogram which shows the
WBC size distribution, with the x-axis representing the cell size (in fL) and the Y-axis
representing relative cell number (in 109/L)(as shown below). The WBC histogram of a normal
blood sample (lysed and processed) should show display 3 clear parts: the small cell (about
20~70fl) region represents the LYM group (lymphocytes); the mid-sized cell (about 70~150fl)
region represents the Mid group (including monocytes, eosinophils and basophiles); and the
large cell (over 150fl) region represents the Gran group (granulocytes).
3-4
System Principles
After each analysis cycle, you can either check the WBC histogram in the analysis result area on
the "Sample Analysis" screen or review the histogram on the "Review" screen.
3.5.3 HGB Measurement

The HGB is determined by the colorimetric method. The diluted sample is delivered to the
WBC count bath where it is bubble mixed with a certain amount of lyse, which breaks red
blood cells, and converts hemoglobin to a hemoglobin complex. An LED is mounted on one
side of the bath and emits a beam of monochromatic light with 530~535nm central
wavelength of 530~535nm. The light is received by an optical sensor mounted on the opposite
side, where the light signal is first converted to current signal and then to voltage signal. The
voltage signal is then amplified and measured and compared to the blank reference reading
(reading taken when there is only diluent in the bath), and the HGB (g/L) is measured and
calculated automatically. The whole measurement and calculation process is completed
automatically. You can review the results in the analysis result area on the "Sample Analysis"
screen.
HGB is expressed in g/L.

3.6 RBC/PLT Measurement
3.6.1 Impedance Method

RBCs/PLTs are counted by the electrical impedance method. The analyzer aspirates certain
volume of sample, dilutes it with certain volume of conductive solution, and delivers the
dilution to the metering unit. The metering unit has a little opening which is called "aperture".
A pair of electrodes is positioned on both sides of the aperture, and creates a constant-current
supply. As cells are poor conductors, when each particle in the diluted sample passes through
the aperture under the constant negative pressure, a transitory change in the direct-current
resistance between the electrodes is produced. The change in turn produces a measurable
electrical pulse which is proportional to the particle size. And when the particles pass the
aperture in succession, a series of pulses are produced between the electrodes. The number
of pulses generated indicates the number of particles passed through the aperture; and the
amplitude of each pulse is proportional to the volume of each particle.
Each pulse is amplified and compared to the internal reference voltage channel, which only
accepts the pulses of certain amplitude. All the collected pulses are thus classified based on
the reference voltage thresholds of different channels, and the number of the pluses in the
RBC/PLT channel indicates the number of the RBC/PLT particles. The cell size distribution
width is represented by the number of particles falling in each channel.

System Principles
 RDW-CV
Red Blood Cell Distribution Width - Coefficient of Variation (RDW-CV) is derived based on
RBC histogram. It is expressed in %, and indicates the variation level of RBC size distribution.
 RDW-SD
Red blood cells distribution width - standard deviation (RDW-SD, in fL) measures the width
of the 20% level (with the peak taken as 100%) on the RBC histogram, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3
 Red blood Cell Histogram
Besides the count results, the analyzer also provides a RBC histogram which shows the
RBC size distribution, with the x-axis representing the cell size (in fL) and the Y-axis
representing relative cell number (in 1012/L)(as shown below). With a normal blood samples,
the RBCs mostly fall in the region of 70~120fl.

4.3 Calibration
4.3.1 Calibration Factors

Calibration is performed to ensure the analyzer may deliver accurate sample analysis results.
During the calibration process, a calibrator factor will be calculated. This factor will be used to
multiply with the analysis results to output the final results. When running a calibrator, the analysis
results after being adjusted by the factor should be as close to its assigned targets. Thus the calibrator
factor is derived by below formula:
Calibration with fresh blood includes two modes of "WB" and "PD", which use different fluidic
sequences. Perform calibration for each of the two modes separately.
Besides the calibration factor of the manufacturer, the factor of the users is also used to calculate
the results. For example ,under the CBC+DIFF mode, the final analysis results output by the analyzer
are calculated as follow:
Only the 5 traceable parameters are used in the calibration including: WBC, RBC, HGB, MCV
and PLT.
4-4
CAUTION
 When you perform calibration at the service access level, the calibration factors of
manufacturer will be modified, and the calibration factors of user will change to 100.00%.
4.3.2 Calibration with Calibrator
Figure 4-5 Calibration at Service Access Level

When performing calibration with calibrator at service access level, the analyzer calculates all
factory calibration factors automatically. You need to run at least 5 calibrations to calculate and
save calibration factors. When 10 calibrations are done, a dialog box will be displayed
prompting that calibration has been completed; and you will be prompted to save the new
calibration factors when exiting the screen.
Before calibration, make sure to set up the lot numbers, expiration dates, analysis modes and the
target values for the calibrators.
The calibration factors should fall into the range of [75%, 125%].
CAUTION
 Never use expired calibrators.
4-5
NOTE
 If the calibrated factors or CVs are out of allowable range, they will be displayed in red, and
the values cannot be saved.
4.4 Sample Probe Debug

The action is performed to test if the sample probe may properly move to each position.
Figure 4-6 Sample Probe Debug

When you enter the "Sample Probe Debug" screen, press the "Initialize" button first. The
sample probe debugging will only start after initialization. For details, please refer to Section
10.2 Adjustment of Mechanical Positions.
4.5 Temperature Calibration

The action is performed to make sure the temperature values reported by temperature sensors are
as close to the actual temperature as possible, so as to ensure the analysis accuracy.
4-6
Figure 4-7 Temperature Calibration

As you can see from the figure above, four values are displayed on this screen, namely Total
difference, New difference, Machine measurement value and Meter measurement value. Machine
measurement value refers to the temperature displayed on the "Temp & Pressure screen", while the
"Meter measurement" displays the temperature measured by thermograph. "Total difference" and
"New difference" are calculated values. However, the real measured value, which is measured by the
temperature sensor, is also used but not displayed.
Enter the "Meter measurement" value and tap "Calculate new diff." to get the new difference.
New difference = Meter measurement – Real measurement
Tap "Save" to assign the new difference value to the "Total difference", e.g., Total
difference = New difference.
Machine measurement = Real measurement + Total difference
4.6 Gain Calibration

The function is used to calibrate the gains for the RBC, WBC and HGB parameters, including
MCP, WCP, HGB, RBC effective width and WBC effective width. The purpose is to ensure each
channel may deliver reliable results.
4-7
Figure 4-8 Gain Calibration

You can calibrate the gain factors for all parameters displayed above at the same time.
Among the parameters, the WBC/RBC effective width is calibrated by software with averaging
method. Tap the "Select" boxes to select the results used to calculate the mean values. WCP,
MCP and HGB gains instead are hardware gains and calibrated with successive "approximation
method". They are not affected whether any group of results is "selected".
Invalid calibration results will be displayed in red. In this case, do the calibration again.
If the target of a parameter is not set, the parameter will not be calibrated (like MCP on
above figure).
The system will ask if you want to save the calibration factors when exiting the Gain Calibration
screen.
CAUTION
 The function only supports the calibration with calibrators.
 Never use expired calibrators.
 Refer to the calibrator target sheet provided manufacturer.
4.7 Gain Setup

You can set up the gain for HGB on the "Gain Setup" screen. Gains for other parameters are
obtained by gain calibration and cannot be edited.

Symbol:
2-way valve 3-way valve
Appearance:
2-way valve 3-way valve
Spring
pole
Function:
2-way valve: to build up or cut off a passage. When power off, the passage from the inlet of the
valve to outlet is cut off; when power on, the passage is built up.
3-way valve: to switch among passages. When power off, the public end and the NO (normally
open) end are connected; when power on, the public end and the N.O.(normally open) end are
connected.
Note: the operating voltage of Mindray valves is 12V, and maximal bearable pressure is
200KPa. The internal movement of the valves is driven by electromagnet and the
restoration is driven by the spring, so it is recommended not put the valves power-on for
too long. When the electromagnet valve is working, the spring pole will lower down, and
it will rise to the initial position when power off. You can touch the spring pole and feel
the descending or ascending, in order to determine whether it is in action.

6.2 Sample Dilution Flow Chart
6.2.1 Whole Blood Mode

Compared to old models, the analyzer adopts a "single aspiration" method for whole blood
analysis. The basic procedure is as follows:
1) The sample probe aspirates 9uL of sample blood and ascends. In the meanwhile, the exterior
wall of the sample probe is cleaned.
2) Dispense the initial volume and 9uL of sample to the WBC bath, where they are well mixed to
prepare the diluted sample for WBC and HGB measurement.
3) The sample probe ascends. In the meanwhile, its exterior wall is cleaned. Where the sample
probe ascends to the probe wipe, it dispenses some of the diluent in it to clean its interior wall.
4) The sample probe whirls descending to the RBC bath, and dispenses initial volume to the
bath.
5) The sample probe whirls descending to the WBC to aspirate 23.1ul of diluted sample and then
dispense the sample and additional diluent to the RBC bath. In the meanwhile, additional diluent is
added to the RBC bath. The further diluted sample is used for RBC/PLT count.
6) Add and mix lyse to the WBC bath for reaction;
7) Run the analysis;
8) When the analysis completes, clean the WBC and RBC baths, zap the apertures, and release
the vacuum pressure.
The dilution procedure under whole blood mode is illustrated Figure 6- 1 as below:

6.2.2 Predilute Mode

The analysis under predilute mode contains 3 function-based sequences: diluent dispensing
sequence, cleaning (open-vial) sequence and analysis sequence. The basic procedure is as follows:
1) Sample probe dispenses 700uL of diluent to the centrifugal tube. Then use a capillary tube to
add the 20uL of sample blood to the centrifugal tube. Well mix the sample.
2) Sample probe aspirates and dispenses 198uL of the prepared sample to the WBC bath. Add
diluent to the bath to fairly mix with the sample for WBC and HGB measurement.
3) Sample probe ascends. Its interior and exterior walls are cleaned.
4) The sample probe descends to the WBC to aspirate 37.7ul of diluted sample and then dispense
the sample to the RBC bath. In the meanwhile, additional diluent is added to the RBC bath. The
further diluted sample is used for RBC/PLT count.
5) Add and mix lyse to the WBC bath for reaction;
6) Run the analysis;
7) When the analysis completes, clean the WBC and RBC baths, zap the apertures, and release
the vacuum pressure.
You can see the analysis procedures under whole blood and predilute modes are basically the

 Aperture diameter: 70um
 Sample volume needed: about 200μl; analysis time: 10s
 Function description: sample probe aspirates 23.1ul of the diluted sample (dilution
rate: 1：173.22) from the WBC bath, and dispenses the sample as well as additional
diluent to the RBC bath, where the sample and the diluent are further mixed with
existing initial volume of diluent (in all 2.2 ml diluent is used in this process) to get a
dilution of 1：16497.3. After full mixing and reaction, the sample solution is then
sucked into the back bath by vacuum pressure in the vacuum chamber. The cells are
counted when they pass the aperture. Sample volume is calculated based on analysis
time.

① Sample probe aspirates required volume of sample, and move from the tube;
② Sample probe move horizontally to the position above the WBC bath;
③ Sample probe descends to the WBC bath and dispenses 9ul of sample.
c) Dispense initial volume to RBC bath
① Sample probe ascends from the WBC bath to the probe wipe where its interior
and exterior walls are cleaned;
② Sample probe whirls descending to the RBC bath, and dispenses initial volume to
the bath.
d) Aspirate sample dilution from WBC bath
③ Sample probe ascends from the RBC bath and whirls to the position above WBC
bath;
6-12
Fluidics
④ Sample probe descends into the WBC bath and aspirate 23.1ul of sample after
first dilution.
e) Second dilution in RBC bath
① Sample probe aspirates required volume of sample, and move from the WBC
bath;
② Sample probe move horizontally to the position above the RBC bath;
③ Sample probe descends into the RBC bath and dispenses the sample dilution.

6.7.3.1 Probe Cleanser Maintenance (Shutdown Sequence)
The probe cleanser maintenance during the shutdown process involves the following parts: the
front and back baths of WBC and RBC baths, back bath tubing, sample probe as well as sampling
tubing.
The analyzer will perform "enhanced" probe cleanser maintenance after every 300 analyses.
Compared with normal probe cleanser maintenance, the enhanced process uses a longer probe
cleanser soak time (1 minute longer than normal maintenance).
Tap "Fluidic" on the "Maintenance" screen, the analyzer will perform enhanced probe cleanser
maintenance.
6.7.3.2 Cleaning Procedure during Startup
The fluidic actions during the startup consist of the following parts:
1 Initialization of fluidic components: initialize the aspiration module and syringe module, build
and release vacuum.
2 Overall cleaning: clean all the tubes, parts and components of the analyzer. Remove bubbles in
the diluent preheating bath. No lyse is consumed.
3 Background check: under whole blood mode.
If the background does not pass, the analyzer will perform the overall cleaning procedure one
more time, and then check the background again.
When the analyzer starts after abnormal shutdown, it will perform the overall cleaning procedure
twice.
6.7.3.3 Standby
The analyzer enters "Standby" mode when there is no action perform for 15~30 minutes
(configurable, 15 minutes by default) When the analyzer is standby, you can still perform operations
6-15
Fluidics
not involving fluidic actions.

Exit standby status1: standby for less than 1 hour
Clean the exterior wall of sample probe and WBC bath, re-build isolation bubbles. The process
does not consume lyse.
Exit standby status1: standby for more than 1 hour, but no longer than 5 hours.
Clean both the exterior and interior walls of sample probe, clean the WBC and RBC baths,
re-build isolation bubbles. The process does not consume lyse.
Exit standby status3: standby for more than 5 hours
Equivalent of overall cleaning; all the tubing, parts and components will be cleaned, remove
bubbles in the diluent preheating bath, remove the crystallization and bubbles at the diluent inlet.

7.9 Hardware Troubleshooting
7.9.1 System Error

Hardware system errors mainly include board errors, cable errors and component errors. The
subsequent sections should have provided troubleshooting methods for most of such errors; but when
the power supply to the hardware system is abnormal (for example, the analyzer cannot be powered
on, or would start self-protect mechanism immediately after being powered on), you need to start
troubleshooting from the system level. Figure 7- 9 demonstrates the troubleshooting procedure for
power supply errors. Figure 7-10 displays a filter locating at the lower part at the rear of the analyzer.
The filter controls the power supply and frequency filtering of the analyzer.
