pH SAFE Reader
Model: BCSI pH1000
The
pH SAFE Reader
is a fluorometric instrument which includes the
following:
•
Fluorometer
- The instrument includes internal optical components used
for photometric measurement, an excitation light source, and a Fiber Optic
Probe, which is inserted into the pH SAFE Sensor in the Platelet Storage
Bag being tested, to deliver excitation light to induce fluorescence and
subsequently collect resulting emission light at 568nm and 600nm.
•
System Software -
The system software includes a user interface which
displays information on the liquid crystal display (LCD) screen and is
directed by the user via the keypad, data analysis functions, and a database
for storing User ID and pH test results information.
•
Communication Capability -
The instrument provides the following
connection ports for data transfer with external devices:
- Bar Code Scanner port, for data entry of bar-coded platelet storage
bag ID and User ID information.
- Keypad, for data entry of platelet storage bag ID and User ID
information and menu navigation.
- RS-232 Serial port, for output of results data to a Printer, or for
upload of results data to an external personal computer (PC) or
laboratory information system (LIS).
- Ethernet port, for upload of results to an external PC or LIS.
Bar Code Scanner
A handheld
Bar Code Scanner
device may be used to enter platelet bag ID and
User ID information from bar codes. The Bar Code Scanner will be provided
with the
pH SAFE Reader
if appropriate for use in your facility.
The Bar Code Scanner is pre-configured to identify the ISBT 128 platelet storage
bag ID character format and User ID bar code symbologies.
The Bar Code Scanner is connected to the Bar Code Scanner port provided on
the back panel of the instrument. The Bar Code Scanner is continuously
powered via the Bar Code Scanner port, but the instrument will only accept data
sent by the Bar Code Scanner at certain times during the measurement
procedure.
Printer
An optional Citizen iDP-3110 Printer can be connected to the RS-232 Serial port
to generate a printed results report containing pH results for one or more tested
platelet storage bags.
