2. Adjusting the System before Operation
2.1. To Install the System
The HEMAPREP system is shipped with glass blades assembled.
1. Place the system in horizontal position or on a level surface.
The system must not be placed near a vibrating device.
2. Make sure that the slides have the following characteristics:
■ Correctly cut (not too long or too short)
■ Square ends
■ Frosted area not too large
3. If one of the slides has a listed defect, discard it.
4. Make sure that the slides are cleaned.
5. Place the provided slides in the slots and make sure that they are correctly blocked.
■ If you use frosted slides, place the frosted end at the front of the tray.
■
If you need a single smear, place a factitious slide in the second tray.
2.2. To Calibrate the System
This procedure tells you how to adjust the smear length using the smear control button located at the
top of the system.
Note that the smear control button is factory adjusted to provide a medium-long smear.
You may have to perform this adjustment in case of samples with extremely high or extremely low
hematocrit levels.
1. Move the spreader arm sightly forwards and hold.
The smear control button adjusts the rate of air escapement from the piston and thus controls the
return rate of the spreader holder arm.
2. Slightly rotate the smear control button according to the required result:
■ Rotate the button in 1/8 of a turn clockwise to slow the spreader arm return and produce a
longer and thinner smear.
■
Rotate the button in 1/8 of a turn anti-clockwise to speed up the spreader arm return and
produce a thicker smear.
