2.4. Performances verification
2.4.1. BACKGROUND

We call background a measurement done without aspirating any blood, but air. In order to avoid
registering the results of background tests in the DATALOG, you may enter 999999 code in patient Id.
Press the Start Key without presenting any tube to the sample probe and let the instrument perform
a complete counting cycle. The results given by the unit should comply with the following table:

Item Range
WBC 0.0 – 0.2 x 109/L
RBC 0.00 – 0.02 x 106/µL
PLT 0 – 6 x 103/µL
HCT 0.0 – 0.5 %
Table 2-1

Should the Background results be out of tolerances, please refer to Trouble shooting section.

2.4.2. STABILITY : CV

Once the system is able to perform at least five backgrounds in range you can go through the stability
verification.
Run 15 replicates of a normal level SFRI blood control in factory mode (Refer to Software Chapter) and
make the instrument calculate for you the CV.
If the CV values are in range (see table 2-2 below), then see if they are in target, ie, if the results comply
with the control target. If they match, the system is ready to be used. If they are not you have to
perform a calibration.

2.4.3. CALIBRATION

IMPORTANT NOTE:
HEMIX 3-30 System has two sets of calibration factors:
 One set is the factory one, and can be seen and adjusted in “Factory” mode of the software.
 The second set is the user one, and can be adjusted manually or automatically by the user, in
“Normal” software mode.

If your system is stable and the values are not in range, you may need to calibrate the unit. Use only
SFRI Calibration Blood, and follow the calibration procedure as described in Operator Manual version
HEMIX-3/30_Operator Manual_ENG_V14.00 or above.

3. THEORY OF OPERATION

3.1. Counting blood cells


3.1.1. COULTER PRINCIPAL

The Coulter principle states that particles pulled through an orifice, concurrent with an electric current,
produce a change in impedance that is proportional to the volume of the particle traversing the orifice.
This pulse in impedance originates from the displacement of electrolyte caused by the particle. The
Coulter principle was named for its inventor, Wallace H. Coulter when he was working for the
Department of Naval Research to standardize the size of solid particles in the paint used on US
battleships in order to improve its adherence to the hull. The principle has found commercial success
in the medical industry, in particular in hematology, where it can be applied to count and size the
various cells that make up whole blood.

Cells, being non-conducting particles, alter the effective cross-section of the conductive micro channel.
If these particles are non-conducting, the electrical resistance across the channel increases, causing
the electric current passing across the channel to briefly decrease. By monitoring such pulses in electric
current, the number of particles for a given volume of fluid can be counted. The size of the electric
current change is related to the size of the particle, enabling a particle size distribution to be measured,
which can be correlated to mobility, surface charge, and concentration of the particles.

Picture 3-1

HEMIX 3-30_Technical Manual_V15.00 | 29


OHM LAW

The Coulter principal basically deals with the well known Ohm low:

U=RxI
Where U is the voltage, R the resistance and I the current.

A constant current generator is applied to the electrodes of two chambers separated by an orifice,
filled with electrolyte (diluent). This current generates a base line voltage whose value changes while
blood cells are crossing the orifice.
As a result, the measured voltage is a direct function of the size of the cells crossing the apertures.

U = f(ps)
Where U is the voltage and ps the particule size.

3.1.2. TREATING THE SIGNAL

THREASHOLDS
Each cell crossing the apertures will create a signal, a voltage pulse, which amplitude will be compared
to triggers, allowing their classification on WBC, RBC and PLT. These thresholds are software values
that are inside the executable program. Neither the user nor the service people are able and allowed
to modify these values.

HISTOGRAMS
Each pulse will be analyzed and stored to a specific memory area, depending on its characteristics.
Once the counting time is over (after 12 seconds), the memorized data is processed and the histograms
are performed. It is then possible to get any histogram derived data.

3.2. HGB READING


Adding lyse in the blood, the red blood cell will be hemolyzed and hemoglobin released. Hemoglobin
and lyse form a new mixture, which can absorb the wavelength of 540nm. Absorbency is then
measured. Through the comparison of the absorbency between the pure diluent and the sample, the
concentration of the sample hemoglobin is calculated.

Picture 3-2

30 | HEMIX 3-30_Technical Manual_V15.00


4. FLUIDICS SYSTEM

4.1. Fluidics phases


4.1.1. STAND BY

After initialization and between each sample counting, the unit is in standby mode.
All the reagents are primed and the chambers are filled with diluent.
Vacuum / Pressure chamber is at atmospheric pressure.
The constant current generator is off.
Burn voltage is off.
Dilution mechanism and vacuum /pressure mechanism are at home position while sample probe arm
is positioned ready to pipette a new sample blood.
All valves are off (i.e., not energized). Two ways valves are closed, and three ways valves are in NO
(Normally Opened) position.
HGB lamp is on.
Motors power is off.

4.1.2. DILUTION

The blood tube is presented to the sample probe, start switch is pushed, 9,6 µL of sample is aspirated.
A first dilution is done in the counting chamber. Dilution ratio is 1/300 in venous and capillary mode.
A little amount of volume is then aspirated to prepare the second dilution in the counting chamber:
Dilution ratio will be 1/44600. Lyse is dispensed to counting chamber: 460 µL. HGB is read by the
spectrophotometer. The RBC / PLT dilution will be done after WBC count and chamber cleaning. Air
bubble are sent by the underneath of the chamber in order to mix properly the dilution.

4.1.3. COUNTING

As soon as the first dilution is ready in the chamber, the vacuum/pressure pump generates an accurate
and stable counting vacuum. The cells are then hydro-focused in a fluidic current in order to be counted
during 12 seconds. At this step, only the WBC are counted.
The chamber is then emptied and cleaned in order to have the second dilution prepared. Using the
first dilution volume present in the needle together with additional diluent, the dilution is performed,
mixed, and the PLT and RBC are then counted during 12 seconds.

The software is controlling the consistency of cells circulation in order to detect any fluidics problem.

CAUTION: Vacuum value is not controlled by the system. It is important to run every morning a
quality control blood to make sure this function is performed properly.

In principal if the preventive maintenance is done according to SFRI recommendation, the vacuum
should be operating properly between at least two preventive maintenance visits. Should you suspect
any counting vacuum problem please use an external manometer to make sure this function is
complying with the specs.

HEMIX 3-30_Technical Manual_V15.00 | 31


4.1.4. CLEANING

Once the counting is finished, the chamber is emptied (to external waste), the counting line is cleaned
with cleaner primed by the vacuum pump. The chamber is cleaned internally with diluent and finally
filled again with diluent, in order to get back to standby mode. In the meantime the probe has been
cleaned internally as well with diluent.

4.3.1. COUNTING CHAMBER ASSY

ITEM CODE : S020009-02

FUNCTION:

Two dilutions are performed in this chamber to allow blood cells counting.
A first dilution with 9,6 µL of whole blood pipetted by the sample needle directly from the patient tube
will be used to read HGB and count WBC. Before dispensing the Lyse, some volume of this first dilution
will be aspirated and maintained in the needle for a second dilution.

Once the counting is finished, the chamber is cleaned, and emptied, and the second dilution to count
RBC and PLT is done.

The aperture of this chamber has an 80 µm orifice and the aperture voltage range is between 13 Vdc
and 23 Vdc. The ruby separates two areas of the chamber; in each of them an electrode is located,
driving either the counting controlled constant current or the “high AC voltage”, in charge of the
burning function coming from the CCU board.

The electrodes of the chamber are connected to the CCU Board at J15

Picture 4-2 shows a detailes exploded view of the counting chamber.

ITEM CODE: S020024-01

FUNCTION:

The function of this assembly is to prime and aspirate / dispense reagents, sample blood (sample,
control, and calibrator). It is composed of a single Teflon block, in which 3 chambers and their
corresponding pistons are in charge to deliver accurate volumes of blood, diluent and lyse.

The three pistons are mechanically linked and thus are moving at the same time. The valves activation
program allows proper volumes delivery as required.

IMPORTANT: the sample piston has a specific design, making possible to control the other two pistons
without any consequence on the sample one. Two mechanical stops, located at specific position allow
this to be possible. Refer to picture 4-8 below (mark 2).

NEVER TOUCH THE TWO STOP NUTS, THEIR POSITION IS FACTORY ADJUSTED
AND NEVER HAVE TO BE CHANGED.

FUNCTION:
This mechanical assembly allows the system to position the sample probe at operator disposal, to
aspirate the sample, calibrator or control blood and then to the counting chambers, in order to
perform the dilutions.
While performing maintenance, the mechanical system will cover the same function but SFRI Clair 3.3
or SFRI CleanEZ 3.3 will replace the blood.

Two movements are carried out to perform these positioning: vertical and horizontal.
Thus, two stepper motors are involved, Motor A (vertical movement), and Motor B (horizontal
movement). Each movement has a home position, controlled by an optical sensor.

6.2. Dilution Machine Assembly


ITEM CODE: S020023

FUNCTION:
The rotational movement of the stepper motor is transformed in a linear vertical movement by a gear
and a rod. An optical sensor stops the mechanics in its home position.
The rod drives vertically a bracket that maintains the three pistons of the dilution block together. As a
results all the pistons but the sample one are moving together. The sample piston has a particular
design that allows the piston to remain in place while the others are moving.

The bearings bracket and the pulley are helping the vertical movement to be done smoothly.

7.1. Mechanics
This Service Program allows the service engineer to troubleshoot, by checking actuators and sensors.
This program sends single commands to the CCU.

From the main screen, select Service, Mechanic.

Picture 7-1

HEMIX 3-30_Technical Manual_V15.00 | 59


Enter password 6800 when prompted. You will reach the following screen.

Picture 7-2

We do have four main parts in this screen:

7.1.1. ELECTRONIC VALVE

Here we can activate each valve for a couple of seconds by clicking on its “T” command.
Doing so, you have to hear the commutation sound, which is louder for the two-way valves.

NOTE: Valves 1, is not used. The “T” command is grey, and a click on it has no effect.

7.1.2. MOTOR

A click on “T” command of each motor will generate a movement to get the mechanical part to home
position. If the mechanism is already at home position, the firmware will move the flag out and in
again. If the mechanism is out of home position, the firmware will move the flag toward home position.
If the system does not detect any error on the movement the software will send an “Ok” status,
otherwise “Failed” will be prompted.
 Motor A: Vertical Movement of the Sample Probe Arm
 Motor B: Horizontal Movement of the Sample Probe Arm
 Motor C: Dilution Block Movement
 Motor D: Vacuum Pump Movement

7.1.3. CIRCUIT

This part of the Mechanic software is dedicated to test the CCU board

7.1.3.1. ANALOGICAL / DIGITAL CONVERTOR

WBC AD / RBC AD / PLT AD: test of the Analogical to Digital converters for each channel. There are
three converters, one by cell type. The system sends a value to convert and the software tests the
feedback. The system returns “OK” if the returned value is the good one and “Failed” if not.

7.1.3.2. INTERRUPT REQUEST / MICRO CONTROLLER

This function allows to test the interruptions control between main micro-controller of the CCU and
the dedicated 3 micro-controllers in charge of the cell pulses acquisition (WBC, RBC, PLT pulses).

7.1.3.3. 5V POWER

This is an integrated voltmeter returning the actual +5 Vdc value.

7.1.3.4. HGB

This function returns the actual HGB sensor reading. Please refer to Adjustments and Controls chapter
for more details.

7.1.3.5. VACUUM

This function creates a specific vacuum value (counting vacuum). Activating this command will make
the vacuum piston move up to predefined specific position.

7.1.3.6. DC POWER

This is the “Enable” signal sent by the software to the CCU board.

7.1.3.7. CC POWER

This function allows you to test the Constant Current generator. A click on its “T” command will activate
relay K3, as a result the Constant Current will be sent to the electrodes of the counting chamber in
order to generate the base line voltage.

7.1.3.8. BURN

This function sends 110 Vac directly to the electrodes of the counting chamber in order to clean the
aperture and prevent clogs that could appear due to orifice diameter reduction while proteins get
agglutinated. Relay K4 is activated to send this “high” AC voltage to the chamber.

7.1.3.9. R. TEMP

This function returns the actual diluents’ temperature, measured by the sensor integrated in the
sample line.

7.1.3.10. SPEAKER

Internal speaker test. You should hear a little “pock” sound.

HEMIX 3-30_Technical Manual_V15.00 | 61


7.1.3.11. HOLE

This function is returning the aperture voltage value while clicking on “T1”.
The system will generate a vacuum, open the counting valve V5, and send the constant current to the
electrodes in order to generate the base line voltage. The current aperture voltage will be displayed
after a couple of seconds.

The values have to be as follow: Hole voltage between 11 and 25 Vdc

Then the system goes back to stand by, ie, stops the constant current and the diluent circulation. The
measured value remains in the screen.
An action on the T2 command will refresh the actual baseline voltage value that has to drop below 3
Vdc. Typical value is around 1,5 Vdc.

8.4. MICROCONTROLER TEST
8.4.1. A/D CONVERSION

The analogical to digital converter is automatically checked by activating the T command of each A/D
converter (WBC, RBC and PLT). The software sends a command with data to convert and collects the
expected result. The status screen will display OK or FAILED.

8.4.2. INT

The Interruption Controller is responsible for the cells signals acquisition. To check the interruptions
request click T command of each channel, each microcontroller. The status screen will return OK or
FAILED.

8.5. Power Supply: 5Vdc


Click on T command of the 5V Power. The status screen have to display 5 Vdc +/- 0,5. An adjustment
can eventually be done on the switching power supply itself. A trimmer adjusts both together the +12
Vdc and the +5 Vdc.

8.6. HGB Blank Voltage


Click T command of the HGB, actual value is displayed. The target is 4,31 Vdc +/- 0,2 Vdc. If the value
has to be adjusted, using a special trimmer screwdriver, adjust VR5 trimmer on CCU board (figure 8-
3). To refresh the displayed current value while adjusting the trimmer, you have to click on the T button
simultaneously.

NOTE: turning VR5 clockwise decreases HGB value / counterclockwise increases HGB value.

IMPORTANT: you have to make sure before adjusting that the chamber is clean and filled with diluent,
properly primed.

Refer to section 5.2.4.1 for trimmer location.

IMPORTANT: two error messages are related to the HGB, depending on the blank voltage value read
during the test.

HGB BUBBLES: if the blank voltage is lower than 3 Vdc


HGB LAMP FAILURE: blank voltage higher than 4,8 Vdc

 Open the right panel of the unit by unscrewing the two Allen screws (2.5 mm), you can access
to the fluidics panel
 Set voltmeter to Vac
 Introduce the red probe of the voltmeter inside the WBC/RBC chamber and apply the black
probe to ground,
 Click on T button of Burning function
 You should read a value around 90 Vac (the relay remains switched a very short time, so the
reading of the target value is furtive).

8.9. Diluent Temperature Check


Click on T command of R. Temp function. The system returns on status field the diluent temperature
in the piece of tube where the sensor is located.
This value indicates the diluent chamber temperature +/- 5°C.
Use an external calibrated thermometer in order to check the value given by the HEMIX 3-30.

NOTE: HEMIX 3-30 has been designed to work between 18°C and 35°C.
Make sure the room temperature where the unit is located complies with this requirement.

8.17.1. ADJUSTMENT OF THE HIGH POSITION OF THE SAMPLE PROBE

The function of the retaining ring shown in the picture bellow is to ensure the good positioning of the
sample probe if ever you have to take off the probe from the system for maintenance.

Picture 8-7

There are two possibilities:

1. YOU WANT TO TAKE OUT THE RETAINING RING FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE SAMPLE
PROBE :
For the reassembly, you need to find the exact position of the sample probe, using the adjustment
tool below, and following the instructions.

Picture 8-8: Sample probe adjustment tool

a) To take out the sample probe, you need to loosen the retaining ring,
