Chapter 2 Measurement Principle

2.1 Principle

Collect blood samples into ESR tubes containing anticoagulant, and place them vertically on the sample holder after mixing. Under the action of gravity, the blood cells will gradually settle, leaving a clear section of plasma in the upper part of the ESR tube. This instrument measures the interface between blood cells and transparent plasma by moving up and down the infrared sending and receiving tubes (TX-RX) on the detection board, and can measure the dynamic sedimentation changes of red blood cells within a certain period of time.

2.2 Method

The reading principle of the ESR analyzer is described as shown in Figure 2- 1. The moving range of the infrared transmitting and receiving tubes (TX-RX) is C, and the reading terminals of the ESR tubes are: L is the bottom end, and H is the highest end.

During the movement of the infrared sending and receiving tubes from the bottom end (L) to the highest end (H), if the infrared light cannot reach the receiving tube, it means that the infrared light is blocked by the high density of red blood cells. If the infrared light can pass through the ESR tube to the receiver tube, the signal from the receiver tube tells the computer to start calculating the distance required to reach the mobile terminal.

L1: The height of the blood in the ESR tube at time zero (blood sample initial height). L2: The erythrocyte sedimentation surface in the ESR tube is at the height of 30 minutes. L3: The height of the erythrocyte sedimentation surface in the ESR tube at 60 minutes. K: The height of blood in the ESR tube when the infrared sending and receiving tubes are moved to the bottom. K is determined by the ESR analyzer itself and can be set in the software.

Even if 1.6 mL of anticoagulated whole blood is constantly placed in the ESR tube, the blood height in the ESR tube may vary slightly from sample tube to sample. In order to compensate for this change, the ESR analyzer takes into account the initial height value within a certain height range, and uses the principle of percentage settlement to correct for these changes.


Figure 2- 1 Reading Principle Figure

In the Figure 2- 1:

P: ESR tube sample holder.
H: The highest position of the infrared transmit and receive tubes (TX-RX).
L: The bottom position of the infrared transmit and receive tubes (TX-RX).
R: Red blood cells.
S: Clear plasma.
C: Detection range.
K: The distance from the bottom of the ESR tube to the bottom of the infrared sending and
receiving tubes.
L1: Initial height (at time zero).
L2: The altitude position of the RBC at 30 minutes.

2.3 Formula

The formula for calculating the percentage of sedimentation in 30 minutes is as formula ( 1): %S30= 100(L1-L2)/(L1+K) ( 1)

The formula for calculating the percentage of sedimentation in 60 minutes is as formula ( 1): %S60= 100(L1-L3)/(L1+K) (2)

After summarizing a large number of experimental data from several hospitals and laboratories, the sedimentation percentage corresponding to 30 minutes in the ESR tube was converted to the ESR value of the Westergren method in 1 hour and the calculation formula for converting the sedimentation percentage corresponding to 60 minutes to the ESR value of the Westergren method in 2 hours is the formula (3):

Y=ax+b (3)

In the formula: Y is the ESR result of the Westergren method, x is the sedimentation percentage, and a and b are constants. That is, selecting (a1, b 1) and %S30 values can calculate the ESR value of the Westergren method at 1 hour, and selecting (a2, b2) and %60 values can calculate the ESR value of the Westergren method at 2 hours.

Hematocrit =RBC height after centrifugation / (L1- 11.32) × 100%

Notice: 11.32 means the height occupied by 0.32mL of anticoagulant in the ESR tube.

2.4 Result Correction

The ESR value at different temperatures can be obtained from the formula (3), and the ESR value of the standard Westergren method at 18°C can be obtained by temperature correction. The temperature result correction adopts interpolation correction, which is automatically carried out by the instrument, and the method is as shown in Table 2- 1 (manual correction reference table). If the temperature correction is not set during measurement, manual correction can also be performed. For manual correction, please refer to the following table:

Chapter 5 Instrument Operation

5.1 Principle of reading

We use the method of vertical movement of the detection board with infrared photocells to monitor 40 ESR tubes synchronously. The detection board collects one data every 0. 16mm movement (ie the instrument resolution), and the detection period is 3 minutes.

When the ESR tube is inserted into the sample holder of the instrument, the instrument automatically detects the ESR tube and starts timing, and monitors the blood level in the ESR tube.

The acceptable range of blood height set by the instrument is 50mm-64mm (calculated from the bottom of the ESR tube), and the recommended height is 55mm (the corresponding volume is 1.6ml, that is, 0.32mL of anticoagulant, 1.28mLof whole blood). If the blood level in the ESR tube exceeds the acceptance range of the instrument, the instrument will alarm.

If the blood height of the ESR tube is within the acceptable range, the instrument will perform height detection. The whole process will be detected 10 times in the working mode of 30 min, and 20 times in the working mode of 60 min. The specific working principle is detailed in Chapter 2.

5.2 Sample Preparation

The BANA-1400 auto ESR analyzer only needs a sample volume of 1.28mLto complete the measurement. In order to ensure the measured blood level in the ESR tubes, 0.32mLof anticoagulant has been injected into each ESR tube in advance. Observe the marking line on the ESR tube, the blood of the test sample can be directly injected into the ESR tube until the total height of the anticoagulant and blood reaches the marking line. Plug the rubber ESR cap, and slowly invert the ESR tube upside down 4-6 times to mix the anticoagulant and blood thoroughly. Be careful not to have air bubbles in the anticoagulation.

5.3 Sample Mixing

The sample can be thoroughly mixed before testing by the following methods: shake the ESR tube upside down at least 5 times, or use a rotary laboratory mixer or a special mixer.

5.4 Sample Loading

The sample needs to be loaded into the sample holder of the BANA-1400 Automatic ESR Analyzer as soon as possible after mixing, so we recommend mixing the sample near the instrument. Loading of samples can be performed when the instrument is in the working state or in the standby state.

After inserting the sample, please pay attention to the monitoring window corresponding to the sample insertion position on the main menu of the instrument. The insertion position should display a blue icon and have a sound prompt, indicating that a new sample has been inserted at that position.
CAUTION: Inserting a sample in a working state requires waiting for the current run of the assay plate to complete before the sample can be recognized.

5.5 Sample removal

It is strictly forbidden to pull out the ESR tube during the BANA-1400 Automatic ESR Analyzer testing the sample (that is, when the green mark is displayed on the sample position in the monitoring window). If the ESR tube is pulled out at this time, the corresponding green mark disappears. Remix.

After the test is over (that is, the position corresponding to the monitoring window displays a yellow mark), the sample can be removed.
At this time, the yellow mark at the corresponding position of the monitoring window disappears, indicating that the position is open, and a new sample can be reinserted for testing. As long as the sample testing is over, the printer will automatically print out the sample serial number, patient number, ESR value, ESR curve and testing time of the tested sample.
If the user needs to perform HCT test, the sample can be removed and centrifuged after the blue Hct mark appears. A green Hct mark will appear during the compaction test. After the measurement is completed, the position will be displayed as a yellow mark, indicating that the HCT test of the sample has been completed.

The ESR curve of the BANA-1400 auto ESR analyzer is a curve drawn according to the sedimentation percentage value obtained by detecting the ESR tube every 3 minutes, so the ESR curve is divided into 30 min and 60 min working modes.

5.6 SOP

1. Power on the Automatic ESR Analyzer.

2. Check the setting in main menu: 30min working mode. The results were corrected to the ESR measured at 18°C using the Westergren method for 1 hour. If the main menu settings are incorrect, enter the [Setting].

NOTICE: Do not change the working mode of the instrument while the instrument is running.

3. Load the sample into the sample holder and pay attention to the display of the corresponding position of the monitoring window.

4. Click Patient ID to enter the interface and enter the Patient ID of the corresponding location (maximum 9 digits).

5. Storage of sample ESR value: After 30 minutes, the sample measurement ends, the instrument automatically stores and prints the ESR value and curve. If a yellow mark is displayed in the monitoring window, it means that the sample at this position has been tested and the sample can be removed. A new sample test can be performed again after the yellow mark disappears at this position.

NOTICE: With the HCT Test feature enabled, the sample can be removed and centrifuged after the blue Hct mark appears. The centrifuged sample needs to be placed in the original position for measurement (the green Hct mark is displayed at this tim

5.7 ESR Curve

The ESR curve of the BANA-1400 Automatic ESR Analyzer is directly drawn according to the detection of the ESR tube every 3 minutes, so the ESR curve has two working modes: 30 min and 60 min. The ESR curve is shown in the figure below: 5.7 ESR Curve

5.8 Print

After the sample detection is completed, the printer automatically prints the ESR value (mm/h) and ESR curve of the tested sample, as well as the date, time, serial number and patient ID. The format of the result printed by the printer is as follows:
