Detailed Technical Specifications

1. Reported Parameters (22)

• RBC Count
• WBC Count
• Hemoglobin (HGB)
• Hematocrit (HCT)
• MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume)
• MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin)
• MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration)
• Platelet Count (PLT)
• RDW (Red Cell Distribution Width)
• MPV (Mean Platelet Volume)
• PDW (Platelet Distribution Width)
• PCT (Plateletcrit)
• 3-Part WBC Differential:
  • LYM% and LYM# (Lymphocytes)
  • GRA% and GRA# (Granulocytes - Neutrophils)
  • MID% and MID# (Mid Cells - a combined count of Monocytes, Eosinophils, and Basophils)

2. Performance & Methodologies

• Counting Technology: Electrical Impedance (Coulter Principle) for RBC, WBC, and PLT.
• Hemoglobin Method: Colorimetric (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate - SLS-free method).
• WBC Differential: 3-part differential based on cell size using impedance.
• Calibration: Manual calibration with calibrators.
• Quality Control: Compatible with commercial QC materials; built-in QC tracking.

3. Sample Handling

• Sample Modes:
  • Whole Blood Mode (Open Vial): 20 µL of EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood is aspirated from a sample cup. This is the primary mode of operation.
  • Pre-Dilution Mode: For very low sample volumes, manual pre-dilution is performed.
• Operation: The operator must manually present each sample cup to the aspiration probe. It does not have an autoloader.

4. Throughput & Operational

• Speed: Approx. 40 samples per hour.
• Start-up Time: Ready within 2-3 minutes.
• Warm-up Time: Not required.

5. Data Management & Connectivity

• Internal Memory: Stores up to 10,000 patient records with results and WBC/RBC/PLT histograms.
• Data Output: Results and histograms for WBC, RBC, and PLT.
• Interfaces:
  • USB Port (for data export to a flash drive)
  • RS-232 Port (for connection to an external computer or printer)
• Printer: Supports connection to an optional thermal printer.

6. Reagents & Consumables

• Reagents Used:
  • Diluent
  • Lyse
  • Cleaner
• Consumables: Sample cups, printer paper.

7. Physical Specifications

• Dimensions: Compact, approximately (W x D x H) 350 x 400 x 350 mm.
• Weight: ~18 kg.
• Power Supply: 110-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
• Operating Conditions: Temperature 15°C - 35°C; Humidity <80%.

Key Features & Benefits

• Compact and Affordable: Ideal for settings with budget and space constraints.
• Fully Automated Operation: Once the sample cup is presented, the analyzer automatically aspirates, analyses, and prints results, requiring minimal technical skill.
• 3-Part Differential: Provides more information than a basic CBC (without diff), helping in the initial screening of infections and other conditions.
• Low Sample Volume: Requires only 20µL of blood, perfect for pediatric and geriatric patients.
• User-Friendly Interface: The simple menu and color screen make operation straightforward.
• Excellent Data Storage: Ample storage for 10,000 results is significant for a unit in this class
