Sheath Reagent. Once diluted with Sheath, the RBCs sphere due to the
influence of the nonionic detergent incorporated into the staining solution.
Sphering is necessary to eliminate optical orientational noise that would
otherwise be introduced into the scatter measurements. The usual lytic action
of the Sheath is prevented by electrolytes contained in the staining solution
and the lack of the usual incubation period used in this channel during WBC
analysis. In addition, the high New Methylene Blue concentration in the
staining reagent exerts a stabilizing effect on RBCs.
During data acquisition, 10 degree and 90 degree scatter are collected for
up to 30,000 events. The 0 degree threshold is set high enough to exclude
most platelets. Histogram data are used to differentiate reticulocytes, mature
RBCs, platelet clumps, and nucleated cells. Reticulocytes have 10 degree
scatter that are similar to the scatter for mature RBCs, but differ from them by
exhibiting greater 90 degree scatter. Reticulocytes are reported in percent. The
instrument will automatically calculate the reticulocyte Absolute value if an
RBC count is entered. The RBC value may be obtained from the Standard
Hematology Data Log, or it may be entered by the operator directly on screen.
Immature reticulocytes contain more RNA and absorb more stain than
mature reticulocytes; therefore, they exhibit greater 90 degree scatter. On the
NCC-51, immature reticulocytes are classified as the population of
reticulocytes that exceed a predetermined scatter threshold. Consequently, it
is possible to determine the Immature Reticulocyte Fraction (IRF) from the
scatter measurements.
75
Chapter 7 Daily Operation
CAUTION
¾ Add 20uL blood samples to be tested to reticulocyte dye test tube (3.7 mL),
and place it at about 15 ° C ~ 30 ° C for 15 to 30 minutes after mixing.
¾ The accuracy of the results will be affected more than 2 hours.
NOTE
¾ Avoid contacting with skin and clothing when using the reticulocyte reagent,
since it contains new methylene blue which will contaminate skin, clothing
and many other surfaces.

Chapter 8 Quality Control
8.1 Overview
It’ probably leads to unreliable results for a long time use. In order to
maintain the analyzer precision and eliminate system errors, it’s necessary to
perform quality control.
It’s better to use low, normal and high controls to perform quality control
every day or using normal control at least. When using control of new lot,
please combine it with the existing controls for 5 days, twice per day, and the
results should be within the range of parameters of the control instruction.
In the following conditions, perform quality control with controls
recommended by NeoMedica:
z After daily start-up procedures completed
z The reagent lot number changed
z After calibration
z After maintenance, or component replacement
z In accordance with the laboratory or clinical QC protocol
z In suspicion of abnormal parameter value
WARNING
¾ Considering all the clinical specimens, controls and calibrators etc. that
contain human blood or serum as being potentially infectious, wear lab
coats, gloves and safety glasses and follow required laboratorial or clinical
procedures when handling these materials.
NOTE
¾ Ensure to perform the following procedure before using the control
removed from the refrigerator:
1. Leave it for 15 minutes to reach room temperature (18-35°C).
2. Rub the vial for 10 to 15 times;
3. And gently invert the vial 1for 0 to 15 times;
4. Ensure that the contents of vial are completely suspended by
inverting the vial and viewing the bottom. Repeat step 2 and 3 for 8
times, or for 2 minutes, until completely suspended.

(2) X-R QC
In X-R QC method, X indicates mean value, R indicates range of value. X
graph is mainly used to judge that if the mean value falls in required level. R
graph is mainly used to judge that if the range of value falls in required level.
(3) X QC
X QC is the variation of X-R QC; they have the same basic principle. The
difference is that the control dot in X graph indicates the mean value of two
values other than one value. On this foundation, it calculates the Mean, SD
and CV.
(4) X-B QC
X-B QC is a moving average method which is first promoted in 1970s’. It’s
based on the principle that, RBC count is varied due to the concentration of
dilution, human blood pathology and technical factor, but the hemoglobin
content in specific unit is hardly interfered by those preceding factors.
According to this characteristic, quality control of the samples is being done by
surveying the value of MCV, MCH, and MCHC.
81
Chapter 8 Quality Control
System offers four quality control options: L-J QC, X-B QC, X-R QC and X
QC. Select the mode and click to enter corresponding interface.
8.4 L-J QC
In L-J QC, the operator could perform QC with 20 test parameters at most.
Considering the different needs, selecting partial parameters for QC is
available. 3 QC documents of high, normal and low are provided for saving.

8.5 X-B QC
X-B QC is different to others, with which the systems can only edit three
parameters: MCV, MCH, and MCHC. It is a QC without controls and a means
of monitoring instrument like controls, but they can’t substitute each other.
NOTE
¾ Recommend using X-B QC, when the quantity of samples is more than
100.
¾ X-B QC is for the use of random sample, not for classification samples.
¾ Observed the trend of QC result in reference range which made up by
reference, low and high limit.

R graph instruction:
1、 Graph abscissa indicates QC run times, ordinate indicates QC result.
2、 Every parameter graph can display at most 31 dots.
3、 Every parameter graph’s middle transverse line indicates R (mean
value of QC result range).
4、 Every parameter graph’s upper transverse line means R upper limit=
B×R.
5、 Every parameter graph’s lower transverse line means R lower limit=
C×R.
6、 The 3 values on the left side of parameter graph mean:
g) upper limit —— R upper limit=B×R
h) middle line —— R
i) lower limit —— R lower limit=C×R
If the control dot falls in the area between upper and lower lines of the
corresponding graph, it means the dot is under control range. If not, the dot is
not under control range.

Chapter 8 Quality Control
Click Pgprv or Pgnex to review the data. Operator could review 31 items
data at most. Click D_All to delete all data.
The difference to X and L-J QC Query is: each page in the X-R QC Query
interface display three QC results that include mean value and range. But the
first page of the first two columns is total mean and average range in the X-R
QC Query.
The QC data would update after running two new controls.
8.7 X QC
In X QC, analyzer should aspirate control to operate QC. The operator
could perform QC with 20 test parameters. Considering the different needs,
selecting partial parameters for QC is available. 3 QC documents of high,
normal and low are provided for saving.
8.7.1 X QC Edit

Chapter 9 Calibration
9.1 Overview
Analyzer is detected and calibrated at the factory just prior to shipment.
For some reasons the result may be a little out of the range. Calibration is to
insure the accuracy of results. Calibration is a process to standardize the
analyzer by its deviation of value and parameter, calibration factor.
The instrument provides three calibration modes: Calibrator Calibration,
Whole Blood Calibration and Manual Calibration.
CAUTION
¾ Only calibrators recommended by NeoMedica can be used to accomplish
the calibration.
¾ Follow the use instruction to store and use calibrator.
¾ Check if the container is broken or cracked before using the calibrator.

Appendix E Daily Operation Procedure
1. Startup and Run
(1) Make sure the power wire is properly connected; None reagent tubes is
bending or detached; Check if the waste container is full.
(2) Turn on the power of computer and analyzer;
(3) The analyzer starts to performing initialized self-checking program
automatically and rinse the flow system, then goes to main Interface. It’s
takes about 5 to 8 minutes.
(4) Perform a background count and QC control to ensure the analyzer
operates normally.
(5) Whole Blood Automated Sampling mode for analyzing a group of
specimens and Whole Blood Single Sampling mode for an emergency
specimen.
(6) Query, output and print the data.
(7) Necessary maintenance should be operated according to the situation.
2. Shutoff Procedures
(1) Click Exit in the main interface to shutoff;
(2) The analyzer automatically rinse the flow system;
(3) Turn off the power switches off the analyzer and computer when display
“Thank you for using, please turn off the power” display on the screen.
3. Daily Maintenance (perform it before shutoff)
(1) The analyzer will automatically perform daily maintenance with the time set
according to the quantity of the test samples.
(2) If ruby aperture is clogged, perform “Cauterize Aperture”, “Flush Aperture”
and “Clean Transducers” procedures in the MAINT interface.
(3) When continuously use the analyzer, shutoff procedure should be
performed at least once every 24 hours.
4. Weekly Maintenance
(1) The surface maintenance of the analyzer.
(2) Clean the aspiration probe.
5. Monthly Maintenance
(1) Check and clean the reagent syringes.
(2) Mechanical parts maintenance.
6. Other Maintenances
If the ruby aperture is block aging severely, select Empty WBC/RBC Cup,
the analyzer will automatically empty the liquid in both sides of the aperture.
And remove the ruby aperture, brush it with probe detergent or enzyme, then
wash it with distilled water. When the ruby aperture has been reinstalled, run
several times of background counts to check whether it is blockage.
