Instrument
Intended Use
Phadia 100
Phadia 100 is a fully automated instrument including software to be used
together with dedicated in vitro diagnostic tests. The instrument is designed to
handle processing of samples, reagents and measuring results and it can be
connected to the software Phadia Information Data Manager (IDM). Phadia 100
is intended to be used in clinical laboratories.
Principal functionality
Phadia 100 is designed to be used together with ImmunoCAP and EliA in vitro
diagnostic tests manufactured by Phadia AB. Phadia 100 yields the same
analytical results from samples of the same specimen as Phadia 250, Phadia
1000, Phadia 2500 and Phadia 5000 within stated tolerance limits. The
instrument includes functions for-distribution of samples, ImmunoCAP and EliA
wells, and reagents,-processing of all assay steps for incubation and washing,-
reading of measuring values, calculations of analytical results, calculation of
statistics and result reporting.The algorithms included in the instrument
software used for calculation of analytical results and statistics are the same as
the ones included in Phadia Information Data Manager (IDM).Up to five
instruments can be connected to an external computer and communicate with
IDM software. When the instrument is connected to IDM software the measuring
values are electronically transferred and calculations of analytical results,
calculation of statistics and result reporting is done by IDM software. Phadia
100 is designed to handle approximately 100 tests per working day.
Solid Phase
For the measurement of the antibodies Phadia 100 can process ImmunoCAP or
EliA Wells. All procedures for EliA Wells should be performed as described for
ImmunoCAP.
