| The CELL-DYN 3700 System is a multi-parameter, automated hematology analyzer designed for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories. The instrument has two versions: the CELL-DYN 3700SL System with an automated Sample Loader and the CELL-DYN 3700CS System with a manual Closed Sampler. The CELL-DYN 3700SL System is equipped with an automated Sample Loader module. The Sample Loader provides continuous closed sampling for up to 100 tubes at a time. (See the preceding figure.) The CELL-DYN 3700CS System is equipped with a built-in manual Closed Sample Aspiration Module referred to as the Closed Sampler. The Closed Sampler aspirates blood from a closed collection tube that has been inserted in the Closed Sampler Module. The CELL-DYN® 3700 System generates the following hematologic measurements on EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood: WBC — White Blood Cell or Leukocyte count NEU — Neutrophil absolute count %N — Neutrophil percent LYM — Lymphocyte absolute count %L — Lymphocyte percent MONO — Monocyte absolute count %M — Monocyte percent EOS — Eosinophil absolute count %E — Eosinophil percent BASO — Basophil absolute count %B — Basophil percent RBC — Red Blood Cell or Erythrocyte count HGB — Hemoglobin concentration HCT — Hematocrit MCV — Mean Corpuscular Volume MCH — Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin MCHC — Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration RDW — Red Cell Distribution Width PLT — Platelet or Thrombocyte count MPV — Mean Platelet Volume PDW*— Platelet Distribution Width PCT* — Plateletcrit RETIC % — Reticulocyte Percent RETIC ABS — Reticulocyte Absolute IRF — Immature Reticulocyte Fraction * Clinical significance has not been established for these parameters. Therefore they are not reportable in the U.S. They are provided for laboratory use only. The two main modules of the CELL-DYN 3700 System are depicted in the following two figures. (The Sample Loader Module included with the CELL-DYN 3700SL System is illustrated and described in Chapter 2: Installation and Chapter 12: Sample Loader.) Figure 1.2: CELL-DYN 3700 System Analyzer: The Analyzer contains the hardware to aspirate, dilute, and analyze each whole blood specimen. Data Station: The Data Station contains a Flat Panel Display Monitor, a Keyboard, and a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The Analyzer is the central unit of the CELL-DYN 3700 System. It aspirates and dilutes whole blood specimens, transports and analyzes the prepared dilutions, and rinses fluidic components in preparation for the next specimen. Except for those components directly related to the Closed Sample Processing Method (automated or manual), the CELL-DYN 3700CS System and CELL-DYN 3700SL System are identical. In the description of components on the following pages, those components applicable to only one of the systems will be identified as such. A complete description of the automated Sample Loader can be found in Sample Loader: Front Panel The components visible on the front of the Analyzer are depicted in the following figure. The functional description of each component follows. Left Front Cover: The removable Left Front Cover protects the Left Flow Panel. To remove the cover, lift up on the cover to free it from the mounting brackets. A grounding wire provides electrical continuity for shielding purposes. Disconnect the grounding wire. Access to the Left Flow Panel is necessary to view the action of the Flow Panel components and to perform certain maintenance procedures. Right Front Cover: The removable Right Front Cover protects the Right Flow Panel. It contains a window that allows the operator to view the Shear Valve. The cover is removed by lifting it up, disconnecting the ground wires, and lifting away from the mounting brackets. Access to the Right Flow Panel is necessary to view the operation of the components and to perform certain maintenance procedures. Status Indicator Panel: Three status indicator messages (illuminated by green, yellow, and red LEDs) indicate the status of the Analyzer. The status messages are: • Ready (green light) — The Analyzer is ready to process a specimen. • Busy (yellow light) — The Analyzer is busy with a normal operational sequence. • Fault (red light) — The Analyzer is unable to process specimens due to an existing fault condition. Open Sample Aspiration Probe: The Open Sample Aspiration Probe aspirates whole blood from an opened collection tube. The Wash Block moves down to the end of the probe and remains there whenever the Closed Mode is selected. Touch Plate: The Touch Plate is located directly behind the Open Sample Aspiration Probe. Pressing the Touch Plate starts the selected run cycle for both the Open Mode and Closed Mode on the CELL-DYN 3700CS System. If the Closed Sampler Mode is selected on the CS instrument, the cycle will begin only if a tube has been properly inserted in the holder. On the CELL-DYN 3700SL System, the Touch Plate is used for Open Mode only. Closed Sample Aspiration Module: (CELL-DYN 3700CS System Only) The Closed Sample Aspiration Module aspirates whole blood from a closed collection tube. It is activated when the Closed Sampler Mode is selected. The module contains the following components: • A Holder holds the closed collection tube. • A Tube Retainer correctly positions the tube in the holder. • Two Quick Adjust Levers located on either side of the Tube Retainer are used to raise or lower the Tube Retainer in order to securely hold the collection tube in the proper position. • An Interlock Switch located in the Tube Retainer prevents activation of the Closed Sampler until a collection tube is inserted properly. • A Needle pierces the collection tube stopper, vents vacuum or pressure from inside the tube, aspirates the whole blood, and is retracted and rinsed at the end of each Closed Sampler cycle. Automated Sample Loader Module: (CELL-DYN 3700SL System Only) See Chapter 12: Sample Loader for information about the Sample Loader Module. Flow Panel: The major components of the Flow Panel are depicted in the following figure. The functional description of each component follows. |
