User Maintenance
The HemaPRO offers consistent results by systematically staining, buffering, and rinsing
the provided biological specimen. It is critical for the success of this automated process that
these unique reagents are obtained from Hardy Diagnostics.
For quality control purposes, the HemaPRO Reagent Kit is labeled with Lot Number and
Expiration Date. These values are used to track and identify the reagents used in the unit. The
kit also comes with a Stain Activation Module, which has a Reference number and Lot Number
as well. The unit tracks the number of stain cycles that a reagent kit performs through this Stain
Activation Module.
NOTE
: Please ensure that the Stain Activation Module is swapped with each new
HemaPRO Reagent Kit that is installed on your machine. This module is plugged into
the right side of the unit.
The HemaPRO will only accept stain packs with the Stain Activation Module sold by
Hardy Diagnostics to ensure optimal results. The instrument is calibrated only for
these reagents. The use of other stain reagents or solutions will produce unreliable
results and will void the warranty.
Reagent Kit Installation
The Wright’s- Giemsa reagents (Stain, Rinse, and Buffer) are supplied to the unit through
the tubing’s cannula connected to the individual containers. Each tube cannula is clearly
labeled, and must be inserted into the correct reagent container. The waste tube should be
placed into a customer designated waste container according to your local city and county
regulations for waste disposal. Use care to ensure each line is properly connected before
powering on the HemaPRO unit.
Power the instrument off.
Open the HemaPRO Reagent Kit (Cat. No.
HP1SK
). Remove the cap from
each reagent bottle, and pierce the induction seal on the opening of each bottle
with a sterile needle.
NOTE
: Do not remove the inductions seal on these bottles.
Relocate the cannulas from the old kit into correct bottles of reagent on the new
kit, where the puncture was made in the seal. Use the puncture as an aperture
for the cannula to fit through.
