Section 11 Reagent Disc Error and Abnormal Results ....................................................... 80
Section 1 Introduction
1.1 Intended Use
InSight V-CHEM Veterinary Chemistry Analyser provides quantitative in-vitro
determination of clinical chemistry analytes in lithium heparinised whole blood,
heparinised plasma or serum. The entire analysis requires 100µl of sample and is capable
of providing results in 8 minutes for whole blood and 7 minutes for serum and plasma.

1.2 Major Components


• Variable Speed Motor - Drive and control the supporting reagent disc
• Spectrophotometer - Measures the optical signal of the disc detection cuvette
• Microprocessor - Used for system control and data acquisition calculation
• Colour Touch Screen - Interactive medium between operator and analyser
• External Printer - Assembly options

Each reagent tray is a separately packed disc. The disc diameter is 7.8cm, with a thickness
of 0.7 cm. The body of the reagent disc consists of a Plexiglas which contains the
lyophilised reagent beads in the colorimetric cuvettes placed around the disc. The
polycarbonate film is used as the encapsulation. For chemical analysis, blood samples
(lithium heparin anticoagulant whole blood, lithium heparin anticoagulant plasma or serum)
need to be pipetted into the corresponding well and the foil tab removed to release the
diluent. The reagent disc is placed into the analyser drawer for chemical analysis. The
reagent disc is rotated by a motor, ensuring the whole blood is separated into plasma and
blood cells (skip this step for serum and plasma samples). At the same time, the reagent
disc is heated to 37°C. The plasma (serum) and diluent are precisely quantified in the
quantitative slot of the reagent disc; thereafter, quantitative plasma (serums) and diluents
are thoroughly mixed in the mixing tank. Finally, uniform dilute plasma (serum) samples
are distributed to each colorimetric cuvette around the reagent disc for chemical reaction
and detection. The above operations are based on the design of the micro-channels in the
reagent disc, which is automatically completed in the reagent disc through the coordination
of motor speed adjustment.

1
The lyophilised reagent in the colorimetric cuvettes of the reagent disc is dissolved into the
diluted plasma (serum) and a chemical reaction takes place. The analyser measures the
absorbance of the solution by spectrophotometry. Absorbance change or absorbance change
rate is used to calculate the concentration of the analyte. The calibration information for
each specific chemical reaction is stored in the QR code on the package of the reagent disc.
When the test is complete, the test results are displayed on the screen. The results report
includes the test results of each item, the reference range of normal values of each item and
the sample information contained in each reagent disc. The test results stored in the analyser
database can be transmitted to an external computer through the supporting data
management platform (DMP) software and can also be connected with the laboratory data
management system to facilitate data management.

7.7 Error Code 0109


Optical Output is Unstable: The ambient temperature is too low or high, being beyond the
range of temperature that the analyser can operate properly. This causes irregular
temperature changes in the cavity of the lamp which leads to unstable output of the light
source.

The xenon lamp output source may be unstable due to transformer or circuit component
changes, etc. This fault is very rare, however if this problem occurs, please contact Woodley
Equipment Company.

7.8 Error Code 0202 & 0203


Error Code 0202 Drawer Open Fault: After 5 seconds of sending out drawer open
command, the disc lock has been released but the drawer is still in the chamber.
49
Error Code 0203 Drawer Close Fault: After 5 seconds of sending the drawer close
command, the drawer still hasn’t closed.

7.8.1 Reasons for Error 0202 and 0203


1) The position switch on the location control wire is in the wrong state, may be damaged or
the assembly has caused the mechanical switch to not move smoothly.

2) The drawer control wire (with motor) is loose at the signal plug, resulting in a false signal
connection.
3) Drawer drive gear is damaged, resulting in abnormal transmission.

7.8.2 Troubleshooting
Please follow the steps in order. After each step is finished, retest whether the fault is
cleared or not. If not, proceed to the next step.

1. Disassemble the machine enclosure and check whether all the cables are properly
plugged in, focusing on the drawer location wire and the drawer drive motor wire.

50
2. Replace the drawer location wire and
check whether drawer functions are
restored using the debugging function.

3. Make the drawer open and close for a


switching test to check whether there is
an abnormal sound when the drawer drive
motor is working. If there is any
abnormal sound, it may be caused by
interference of components or damage to
the drawer drive motor. It is necessary to
adjust or replace the drawer drive motor.

Take out the whole mechanical module.

4. Disassemble the four screws on the


opposite side and remove the assembly
parts.

52
7.10 Error Code 0208, 0209, 0210 & 0211
Error 0208 Insufficient Sample: The absorbance difference between the two corresponding
compared cuvettes is less than threshold.

Error 0209 Insufficient Dilution: The absorbance difference between the two
corresponding compared cuvettes is more than threshold.

Error 0210 Mixed Solution Not in Place: The test results of specific analytes are less than
the threshold.

Error 0211 Mixed Unevenness: The absorbance difference between the corresponding two
compared cuvettes is more than threshold.

Collect the images of the error disc under the standard position and contact Woodley
Equipment Company.

7.10.1 Reasons
Error 0208:
1) Insufficient sample volume.
2) The sample does not flow through the sample channel (clotted sample, etc.)

3) At the sample adding port, the sample is thrown out, resulting in insufficient sample volume.

4) The liquid flows into the other chambers and doesn't flow into the waste hole.

Error 0209:
1) Insufficient diluent has been added.
2) The diluent is in the quantification stage, the remaining diluent leaks, so no diluent flows
into the compared cuvette.

Error 0210:
1) The blood sample has severe lipemia and cannot flow through the flow channel and reach the
correct reagent cuvette.

Error 0211:
1) Haemolysis samples have a darker colour and higher absorbance of the blood, so it is very
easy to appear that the absorbance deviation of the compared cuvette and the reagent cuvette
exceeds the threshold.
53
2) Lipid is heterogeneous, the absorbance difference between the compared cuvette and the
reagent cuvette is easier to exceed the threshold.
3) Icterus is very similar to haemolysis but it is not easy to appear 0211 unless it is very serious
4) Samples that cannot be tested by 0210 will get error 0211. When blood flows through the
sample flow channel, it doesn't flow through directly at one time, resulting in the error code.
5) In addition, the slight 0210 will appear that a part of the mixed liquid flows into the reagent
hole first and then the other blood sample flows again a short time later. It means that there
is a sample that does not pass through the channel in the high-speed centrifugal stage at the
front. The subsequent centrifugation process starts again so there is an interval between the
time of the different reagent holes. If the deviation of the absorbance of the compared
cuvette and the reagent cuvette is greater than the threshold but the result of setting item
also under the requirements, no error will be reported.

7.10.2 Troubleshooting
Please follow the steps in order. After each step is finished, retest whether the fault is cleared
or not. If not, proceed to the next step.

1) Use a standard serum test. Stopping error reporting is a sample problem, otherwise please
confirm uploading data and contact Woodley Equipment Company.

melt glue at the connector, it can be
removed easier by applying alcohol.)

2. Remove all the connection wires on the


Main II board. Use a wrench to
disassemble the four columns as shown in
the figure.

57
7.13 Error Code 0214
Not Enough Exposure Points: The amount of data collected is not enough to complete
the calculation (missing exposure point).

7.13.1 Reasons
1) The attenuation of the light intensity of the LED causes the values of zero and non-zero
points to be lower than the error judgment threshold.

2) The motor speed is wrong and will be accompanied with an Error 0206.
3) Main I board and FPGA data transmission failure because of board devices or cable
problems.

7.13.2 Troubleshooting
Please follow the steps in order. After each step is finished, retest whether the fault is
cleared or not. If not, proceed to the next step.

1) Upload the error data for diagnostics.

1. Connect the analyser to the network and upload the test data or check and analyse the
images of the error discs. You need a photo of the inclined planes of the disc. For the

the connecting of the cable with the
connectors. If necessary, replace with a
new FPGA cable to test.

2. If the above steps are invalid and the error


still happens, replace with a new Main II
board.
Lastly, change to a new top board of the
NOB board.

60
7.14 Error Code 0215
Dark Current: The exposure value is close to the dark current value of the circuit. It
is mostly because of the following reasons:

1) Detection using a whole blood mode, resulting in light intensity reduction of the reagent
cuvette. Firstly, confirm the lamp's light intensity by testing the compared cuvette and then test
the reagent cuvette.

The optical acquisition circuit of the analyser is faulty and the optical signal cannot be collected
due to the xenon lamp without exposure, the silicon photodiode damaged or the acquisition
circuit board broken.

7.15 Error Code 0216


Light Intensity Saturation: Light intensity above the maximum.

Reasons for the Error:


1) Water mist on the optical lens. When the analyser powers on and collects the light signal, it
leads to a sudden amplification of light when the actual detection occurs after the liquid is
evaporated, causing the light intensity to exceed the circuit range.
2) The virtual welding of the circuit causes a problem in the magnification during the light
acquisition and exceeds the range during the detection period, or the magnification of the
acquisition is problematic due to poor soldering of the acquisition device.

Restarting the analyser can solve the problem.

7.16 Error Code 0220


Temperature Data Transmission Fault: Temperature signal data transmission does not
return correct information. It is mainly because the data signal transmission is abnormal
and the connection cable between the Main I and Main II board need to be replaced.

7.17 Error Code 0221

the range by passing a very small current during the detection period to calculate whether
the partial voltage value is within the normal range.

7.17.1 Reasons
1) Temperature sensor is broken.
61
2) The voltage of the temperature control chip on the circuit board is abnormal.

7.17.2 Troubleshooting
