M3: Analysis Automation (Part 2: Chemistry Analyzers) Flashcards
T or F
Chemistry analyzers can either be semi-automated or fully automated
T
- This general type of chemistry analyzer still needs the operator to dip and blot the reagent strip + press the “enterˮ button
- tests for the chemical components of urine
- reads reagent strip results
- Self-calibrating
- Has automatic checks
Semi-Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzers
Semi-Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzers
Semi-Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzers removes what (2) discepancies/error?
personnel bias and timing discrepancies
Semi-Automated Urine Chemistry
This discrepancy/error refers to color bias
discepancies/error?
personnel bias
Semi-Automated Urine Chemistry
This discrepancy/error refers to excess of the designated time
discepancies/error?
timing discrepancies
Semi-Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzers
Semi-automated urine chemistry analyzers are suited for what size and type of laboratory?
- Small and medium-volume laboratories
- Physician’s offices
Semi-Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzers
T or F
ALL Semi-Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzers are self calibrated
F (some only, not all)
This feature in Semi-Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzers helps to identfy strip type and humidity exposure
automatic checks (auto-checks)
Familiarize the examples of Semi-Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzers
- Cobas u 411 chem analyzer
- Urisys 1100 semiautomated urine chem analyzer
- AUTION ELEVEN AE-4022
- Clinitek status connect w/barcode stand
- Clinitek status w/ test tsrip
- Clinitek Advantus semiautomated urine chem analayzer
This general type of chemistry analyzer is for:
* high-volume urinalysis laboratories
* User walk-away capability
* Insertion of STAT sample during run
* Barcoded sample identification
* Identification of abnormal ranges
Fully Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzers
Fully Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzers
This feature of a fully automated urine chemsitry analyzer is where MT only needs to input the sample then the machine can carry on by itself
user walk-away capability
Fully Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzers
T or F
Fully Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzers loads many labelled tubes on a carousel/rack at mutiple times
F (loads many labelled tubes on a carousel/rack at one time)
Fully Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzers
This feature of a fully automated urine chemsitry analyzer allows MT to process STAT sample and doesnʼt need to wait for the current run to finish processing
capability to insert a STAT sample during the run
Fully Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzers
aspirates an exact amount of urine and dispenses it directly onto the reagent strip
Sample probe
Fully Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzers
Sample identification of fully automated urine chemistry anlayzer is?
barcoded
