Atellica® CH Analyzer Hardware Overview Online Training

CH Analyzer Hardware Overview includes identifying the hardware components and their function, and describing the test processing sequence.

Welcome to the Atellica® CH Analyzer Hardware Overview online training course. The  Atellica® Solution consists of a family of modules and analyzers that are configurable for individual laboratory testing needs including: Central workstation/computer Sample entry module Analyzers (including immunoassay and chemistry technologies) This course will introduce you to the hardware components on the clinical chemistry analyzer. NOTE:  Refer to the Atellica Solution Operator's Guide for information on safety precautions that should be followed when operating the system.   Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to: Identify hardware components and their functions Describe the test processing sequence Congratulations. You have completed the Atellica® CH Analyzer Hardware Overview online training course. Listed below are the key points that have been presented.  Take time to review the material before you proceed to the final quiz. Identify the hardware components and their function Exterior Components System front and back cover – controlled by interlocks. Operator can unlock using a button in the software. This can be done when the system is in pause or stop mode System fluid drawer – used to house and replace the CH Diluent, CH Wash, CH Conditioner and CH cleaner bottles. Operator can access anytime Water and liquid waste – contains one reservoir for water and two reservoirs for waste. Operator can access anytime IMT fluids – used to house and replace the IMT Std B+Salt Bridge, IMT Standard A and IMT Diluent bottles. Operator can access anytime Reagent tray lid – used to load reagent packs and remove reagent packs. Operator can access anytime Fan filters - there are three fan filters located on the CH analyzer: one on the left rear panel, one in the center rear panel and one on the right rear panel Main power switch - used to power off and on the analyzer Interior Components – Front Dilution probe – transfers sample from sample tube to either the IMT system or the dilution ring. Has clot detection, crash protection, and liquid surface verification Dilution ring –holds the dilution cuvettes which house the diluted samples. The diluted sample is held for retest or reflex until that cuvette reaches the dilution washer (typically at least 10 minutes) Dilution mixer – stirs the diluted sample that has been transferred to the dilution cuvette Dilution washer – washes the cuvettes after a sample is processed so the cuvettes can be reused Sample probe – transfers an aliquot of diluted sample from dilution cuvette to reaction cuvette.  Has clot detection, crash protection, and liquid surface verification IMT (integrated multisensor technology) system – uses potentiometry to determine the concentration of sodium, potassium and chloride ions in patient samples Reaction ring – processes photometric assays in reaction cuvettes Reagent probe 1 and 2 – transfers reagent from reagent pack in the reagent compartment to reaction cuvette Sample mixer – mixes together the first reagent and the diluted sample in the reaction cuvette Reagent mixer – mixes the diluted sample and both reagents in the reaction cuvette Reaction washer – washes the reaction cuvettes after a sample has been processed so the cuvettes can be reused Reagent compartment – has 2 refrigerated reagent servers (1 and 2). Each server holds 24 reagent packs in the inner ring and up to 46 in the outer ring for a total of 70 packs. Up to 3 positions are used for reagent probe cleaners Reagent tray – used to load reagents on the system.  Holds up to six reagent packs at a time Reagent loader – scans new reagent packs and transports them from the reagent tray to the reagent compartment Photometer – consists of a light source and a detection assembly, which are mounted across from each other on the reaction ring. The photometer measures the light absorbance of samples as they pass in between the light source and the detection assembly. These absorbances are then converted to results that are reported on the system   Describe the test processing sequence Photometric Test Processing Sequence Diluted sample is transferred into a dilution cuvette on the dilution ring, and then mixed The first reagent is transferred into a reaction cuvette on the reaction ring An aliquot of diluted sample is transferred into the reaction cuvette containing the first reagent. The remaining diluted sample in the dilution cuvette can be used for additional tests on an order The first reagent and diluted sample are mixed The second reagent is transferred into the reaction cuvette containing the first reagent and the diluted sample The diluted sample and both reagents are mixed The reaction takes place for the amount of time designated for the assay The absorbance data is read by the photometer IMT Test Processing Sequence Standard A solution is pulled through the IMT cartridge The potential difference is measured between each of the 3 analytes in the Standard A solution and the reference electrode Air and fluidic segments of Standard A are pulled into the IMT cartridge to both clean and prepare the sensor chip for sample measurement The IMT diluent pump dispenses 75 µL of IMT diluent into the IMT sample port The dilution probe aspirates 25 µL of sample from a sample container The dilution probe dispenses the sample and 150 µL of special reagent water into the IMT port The dilution probe returns to its wash station for rinsing and cleaning The analyzer pulls the mixed sample through the IMT cartridge The system measures the potential difference between each of the three analytes in the sample and the reference electrode The drift correction completes when the analyzer pulls a second Standard A sequence though the IMT cartridge, comparing this reading to the reading in step 2 The system converts the potential differences into ion concentrations and reports this value Hardware components of the Atellica® CH Analyzer: Exterior Components Interior Components System Covers Reagent Tray Lid Water and Liquid Waste Area System Fluid Drawer IMT Fluids Lid Fan Filters Main Power Switch Dilution Probe, Washer, Ring, Cuvette and Mixer Sample Probe and Mixer Reaction Ring, Washer and Cuvette Reagent Probes, Compartment, Tray, and Mixer Sample Mixer IMT (Integrated Multisensor Technology) System Photometer Learn about the main hardware components System Components Instructions:Flash File:/content/generator/Course_90015502/sim_Atellica_CH_HardwareOverview/sim_Atellica_CH_HardwareOverview.htmHTML5 File:/content/generator/Course_90015502/sim_Atellica_CH_HardwareOverview/index.htmlPDF File: The Atellica® CH Analyzer uses two types of technology to process samples: Photometry  Integrated Multisensor Technology (IMT)   Photometry Test Processing Sequence Photometry Test Processing Sequence Instructions:Flash File:/content/generator/Course_90015502/sim_Atellica_CH_PhotometricProcessing/sim_Atellica_CH_PhotometricProcessing.htmHTML5 File:/content/generator/Course_90015502/sim_Atellica_CH_PhotometricProcessing/index.htmlPDF File: IMT Test Processing Sequence IMT Test Processing Sequence Instructions:Flash File:HTML5 File:/content/generator/Course_90015502/sim_Atellica_CH_IMT_TestProcessingSequence5/index.htmlPDF File: Please note that the learning material is for training purposes only!   Any material used in this training will not be updated on a regular basis and may not necessarily reflect the latest version of the software available at the time of the training.   Certain products, product related claims or functionalities (hereinafter collectively “Functionality”) may not (yet) be commercially available in your country.  Due to regulatory requirements, the future availability of said Functionalities in any specific country is not guaranteed.
