Optical scheme and principle
3 OPTICAL SCHEME AND PRINCIPLE
3.1.1 Determination of Clotting times

The detection of clotting time is done optically, by measuring the scattered light generated by
the formation of the fibrin clot in the mixture when sample and necessary reagent(s) are
combined respecting the necessary incubation times. The light emitted at 640nm by a LED is
directed towards the reaction cuvette and the scattered light intensity is measured at a 90°
angle by a photo detector. It is weak at the beginning of the reaction which starts immediately
at the addition of the starter (the last reagent to be added), it then increases gradually as the
clot formation takes place and reaches a steady value once the clot is fully formed. The
algorithm that monitors the scattered light intensity in real time stops the measurement when
the measurement becomes stable. Different algorithms can be applied to best fit the type of
reaction seen with the different parameters. The clotting time is then determined from the
measured reaction curve.
3.1.2 Immuno-turbidimetric measurements

The turbidimetric measurements are done using a LED emitting at 800nm. A photo detector
positioned on the other side of the cuvette measures the intensity of the light after crossing the
reaction mixture. The intensity of the light will vary as the reaction evolves and the Optical
Density (OD) is calculated. The Delta OD (dOD) is calculated from the beginning of the reaction
to the end. Using a calibration curve with known concentrations, the patient sample is
calculated in the calibrators’ unit. This measurement method is intended for immunologic
8 Rev. 2018.01
Main parts and submodules
reactions using latex based reagents that are compatible with 800nm wavelength, typically D-
Dimer. During these reactions, an immune complex antigen-antibody will form and create
optical turbidity which will decrease the light intensity captured by the photo detector. This
change in light intensity transformed in delta OD is proportional to the concentration of the
tested analyte present in the analysed sample.

Algorithm
6 ALGORITHM
 50%: The device takes a measurement every 40 ms (Chyba! Nenalezen zdroj
odkazů.). The measurement holds up till the second read time plus one second. The
result will be where the first and the second read time’s average AD value is equal to
the measurements AD value.
 BestFit: The device takes a measurement every 40 ms (Chyba! Nenalezen zdroj
odkazů.). The measurement stops automatically when the signal AD value changes
less than 16 value in 4 sec and the signal changed minimum by 10 %. The device
continuously loads a histogram. The histogram’s resolution is 8 AD value. The
histogram will have two maximum, the start condition and the clotted condition (1.
fig.). The search function make a one step function with the two maximum’s AD value
and the width is 4 sec. . Than the routine push it through the measurement’s curve. It
searches that point where the area bounded by the two functions is minimal.
(2. fig. and 3. fig.). That point will be the coagulation point.
 BestFit APTT: Same algorithm like the BestFit. The difference is the stop condition. It
will be stop when the signal changed by 80%.
 BestFit Fine: Same algorithm like the BestFit. Chyba! Nenalezen zdroj odkazů.).
The measurement stops automatically when the signal AD value changes less than
16 value in 12 sec and the signal changed minimum by 10 %.
 Fibrinogen: Same algorithm like the BestFit. The difference is the histogram stores
every AD value.
 dOD: Do a measurement at the first and the second read time. The result will
calculated with the dOD = log10((AD1/AD2)) formula.
