1) Test Code
Test code is the item name, English or Chinese and can be entered by soft keyboard.
2) Assay Mode
Assay mode is a measurement theory based on which items are run for samples and then
calculated. The system supports four methods, which are Endpoint, Kinetic, Two-point
Kinetic and Dual WL.
Note: Instrument can apply various methods to measurement according to the selected
conditions.
Method Description
Endpoint includes one-end point and two-end point, is used to measure the
absorbance when the reaction of sample and reagent becomes equilibrious
(the color or absorbance is stable). Then obtain the concentration of the
Endpoint
reaction solution based on the Lambert’s Beer Law. The method of one-end
point is choosing a value of absorbance to measure when the reaction is
equilibrious.
After mixing the reagent and sample, continuously measure the absorbance
and calculate the variation rate when the absorbance began to linear
Kinetic
variation. Then obtain the concentration of the reaction solution based on
the Lambert’s Beer Law.
2-point Kinetic mode is choosing two points to calculate the variation rate of
absorbance, the first point of absorbance is in the initial reaction process and
2-point the second point is in the equilibrious reaction process. The difference of the
Kinetic two absorbance value is used to calculate the variation rate of absorbance
and obtain the concentration of the reaction solution based on the Lambert’s
Beer Law.
Dual WL. mode is composed of 1st and 2nd wavelengths. 1st wavelength is
Dual WL. special for absorption spectrum when measurement and 2nd wavelength is
used to eliminate the influence of other disturbances. The Dual WL. can
32
Chemistry Analyzer Operation Manual
Note: When the assay mode is Kinetic, system may hints that linearity can’t be matched
because the incubation time is too long. Users can solve this by shorting the incubation
time.
For the items whose assay mode is Kinetic, instrument provides the function of auto
detection of the substrate exhaust. Users can click the Enable in the threshold screen and
input the reaction direction and threshold to execute the function.
3) 1st WL.
1st WL. is the primary wavelength that used to measure the absorbed light intensity.
Options for 1st wavelength include: 340nm, 405nm, 492nm, 510nm, 546nm, 578nm,
630nm and 700nm. Please follow the reagent instructions to set.
4) 2nd WL.
2nd WL. is used to eliminate the influence of other disturbances, such as light source flash
and drift, and scratches on cuvette, etc. In the dual-wavelength, options for 2nd
wavelength include: 340nm, 405nm, 492nm, 510nm, 546nm, 578nm, 630nm and 700nm.

Chemistry Analyzer Operation Manual
The meanings of reliability about test results have two aspects: one is high precision, i.e.
the good repeatability of test results, which mainly aims at eliminating or minimizing the
influence caused by random error and depends on the perfect room QC system to
guarantee. The other one is accuracy, i.e. the test results are correct and close to the true
values, which mainly aims at eliminating or minimizing the influence caused by system
error and depends on the proper assay method and correct calibration to guarantee.
Therefore, it is necessary to strictly select certified control sample and calibration solution,
and use them according to their instructions.
Control sample is only used together with the sample to be tested. To minimize the test
error, it is required to keep the control sample stable in storage.
1) Mixed serum, freeze-dried and liquid control sample, classified by the different
physical properties of control samples.
2) Fixed value and non-fixed value control sample, classified by the presence/
absence of measurement value.
You can select one kind of control samples listed above as the room control sample as
required.
1) Strictly use control sample according to the instructions provided by the supplier.
2) Make sure the high quality of the solution redissolved from freeze-dried control
sample.
3) Make sure the added volume is accurate and consistent each time redissolving the
freeze-dried control sample.
4) Fierce shake is avoided by all means when redissolving the freeze-dried control
sample.
5) Store the control sample according to requirement; do not use the expired products.
51
Chemistry Analyzer Operation Manual
The QC target and control limit value can be obtained from the control sample
manufacturer or through following methods:
1) Temporary target value setup: Test a new lot of control sample. Obtain the results of at
least 20 control tests, and calculate their mean value and standard deviation (SD) as
the temporary target value and SD respectively.
2) Regular target value setup: Obtain the accumulative mean values of the original 20
data and all the tested data collected for 3 to 5 months as the regular target value and
SD respectively.
3) Control limit setup: The new lot of control sample is required to conform the control
limit that is usually denoted to multiple of SD. The control limit of different items
(quantitative test) depends on their QC regulations.
5.2.4 QC Procedure
Click Measure, select the needed item and then click Run to enter running screen; and
then click QC for QC test. The QC results will be stored automatically in memory for further
analysis.
Click QC in main menu, select the needed item, and then click Go→Edit to enter target
value and SD.
In QC chart, the middle line denotes the target value, while the up lines and down lines
denote ±1SD, ±2SD, and ±3SD lines. If target value is 0.00, the system will recalculate the
mean and SD and QC chart according to the data that showed in the screen.

Chemistry Analyzer Operation Manual
5.3.4 Abnormality
3) Precision change: Accidental error is large, e.g. the instrument or reagent shows
instability.
2) Simply and quickly review the operation process to find out the possible cause.
3) If no evident error is found, follow the steps below to find out the cause.
Retest the same control sample strictly as the operation procedures. If the retest
results are normal, it means that personal error or random error existed in previous
testing; if the retested results still fall outside the allowable range, proceed to the next
step.
Test a new bottle of control sample. If the retested results are within the allowable
range, it means the previous bottle of control sample has expired or deteriorated. If
not, proceed to the next step.
Test a new lot of control sample. If the retested results are within the allowable range,
it means the previous lot has problem. Then, inspect the expiration date and storage
ambient for possible cause. If not, proceed to the next step.
Maintain the instrument. Inspect the instrument status and check if it is necessary to
replace the light source and filter, to clean cell or to change reagents. Test control
sample after maintenance. If the test results still fall outside the allowable range,
proceed to the next step.
Calibrate the instrument. Perform calibration with the new calibration solution. If the
test results are not within the allowable range yet, proceed to the next step.
Obtain help from technician. If the test results are not within the allowable range yet
after completing the five steps above, the instrument or reagent may be to blame.
Contact URIT or reagent supplier to get technical help.
53
Chemistry Analyzer Operation Manual
Calibration sample is used to calibrate the numerical value of the assay method. The
function is to eliminate or minimize the system error caused by instrument or reagent. It is
recommended that human serum matrix be used to minimize the error caused from matrix
effect.
It is suggested to perform calibration every six months or under the below situations:
2) When changing the reagent type or the lot number, unless otherwise specified.
4) When the QC results reflect abnormality, which cannot be rectified through general
corrective measures.
In the parameter setup screen, enter the concentration value given by the calibration
sample supplier into the calibration field, and then exit. The calibration will be
automatically performed before testing sample, and the result will be stored as reference
for the next calibration.
It is suggested that all calibration and validation work should be written down and
compiled into documents. What should be emphasized is that the fix-value serum should
never be used as calibration sample because there is huge difference between them.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but
changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and
change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your
freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its
users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's
software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free
Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License
instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
74
Chemistry Analyzer Operation Manual
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public
Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs;
and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these
rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For
example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must
give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive
or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights. We protect your rights with two steps:
(1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify
the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone
understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by
someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the
original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'
reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid
the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in
effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the
copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public
License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based
on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that
is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included
without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License;
they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output
from the Programs covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
(independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends
on what the Program does.
75
Chemistry Analyzer Operation Manual
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on
each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a
fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a
work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the
terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed
the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains
or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge
to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must
cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or
display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there
is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute
the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an
announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an
announcement.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered
independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not
apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the
distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other
licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who
wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written
entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of
derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program
(or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium
does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in
object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that
you also do one of the following:
76
Chemistry Analyzer Operation Manual
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for
a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;
or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding
source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if
you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord
with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications
to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all
modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception,
the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either
source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to
copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code
from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are
not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or
distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License
will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However,
nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative
works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore,
by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate
your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the
recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or
modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any
further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
77
Chemistry Analyzer Operation Manual
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular
circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is
intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property
right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of
protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by
public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide
range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of
that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software
through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of
the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by
patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program
under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In
such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General
Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version
number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this
License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose
distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software
which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software
Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the
two goals of
78
Chemistry Analyzer Operation Manual
preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the
sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the
public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can
redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start
of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file
should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
79
Chemistry Analyzer Operation Manual
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this
program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330,
Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. If the program is
interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes with
ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are
welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the
General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something
other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu
items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to
sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the
names: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program ‘Gnomovision’
(which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary
programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to
permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use
the GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.
The FreeRTOS GPL Exception Text:
Any FreeRTOS source code, whether modified or in it's original release form, or whether in
whole or in part, can only be distributed by you under the terms of the GNU General Public
License plus this exception. An independent module is a module which is not derived from
or based on FreeRTOS.
Clause 1:
Linking FreeRTOS statically or dynamically with other modules is making a combined work
based on FreeRTOS. Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License
cover the whole combination.
As a special exception, the copyright holder of FreeRTOS gives you permission to link
FreeRTOS with independent modules that communicate with FreeRTOS solely through the
FreeRTOS API interface, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules,
and to copy and distribute the resulting combined work under terms of your choice,
provided that this software is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied warranty
80
Chemistry Analyzer Operation Manual
Every copy of the combined work is accompanied by a written statement that details to the
recipient the version of FreeRTOS used and an offer by yourself to provide the FreeRTOS
source code (including any modifications you may have made) should the recipient request
it.
The combined work is not itself an RTOS, scheduler, kernel or related product.
The independent modules add significant and primary functionality to FreeRTOS and do
not merely extend the existing functionality already present in FreeRTOS.
Clause 2:
FreeRTOS may not be used for any competitive or comparative purpose, including the
publication of any form of run time or compile time metric, without the express permission
of Real Time Engineers Ltd. (this is the norm within the industry and is intended to ensure
information accuracy).
