Glossary of Terms

Bidirectional

communication means that there is two-way communication from the Starrsed RS to the

HOST (sample requests and results) and from the HOST to the Starrsed RS (confirmation or denial of sample

requests).

Citrate mode

is used for

pre-diluted samples collected in tubes with sodium citrate anticoagulant-diluent.

The samples are

not diluted on the Starrsed RS during aspiration.

The concentration of sodium citrate within the diluent solution in the tube should be 3.2%. This is not to be

confused with the required dilution rate of blood and diluent.

For example, in a citrate tube with a total draw volume of 1.6 ml (= 5 volumes), the amount of pre-filled

diluent must be 0.32 ml (= 1 volume). If this information is not provided by the tube manufacturer, it should

be checked by the customer.

EDTA mode

is used for

undiluted samples collected in tubes with EDTA anticoagulant. The samples are

automatically diluted on the Starrsed RS during aspiration.

The usual amount of EDTA in sample tubes is 1.8 mg per 1 ml blood. 1 ml of blood weighs ca. 1060 mg and

the concentration of EDTA is therefore 0.17% and well within the requirements for the EDTA mode on this

instrument.

ESR

is short for

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate.

It is the amount of sedimentation (setting) of

erythrocytes (red blood cells) in a blood column during a specified time.

Hazy

: A sedimentation is reported to be "

hazy

", when the boundary between blood plasma and

erythrocytes can not be defined clearly.

HOST

: In this manual, the term

HOST

is used to indicate the computer system and associated software

(LIMS) that provides the sample management for the laboratory.

IVD

is short for

In Vitro Diagnostic.

This kind of diagnostic is performed on biological samples in a test

tube, or more generally in a controlled environment outside a living organism.

In vitro means in glass in

Latin.

MRN

is short for

Master Registration Number

. It is used as an identification number for any manual for

Mechatronics products.

MSDS

is short for

Material Safety Data Sheet

. In this type of MSDS all kind of important data can be

found on reagents.

Temperature correction

: The sedimentation of blood cells is a temperature dependent process. To

achieve comparable results,

temperature correction

should always be used. The ESR results are then

corrected to the value they would have been at the

standard temperature of 18.3°C.

Unidirectional

communication means that there is only one-way communication from the Starrsed RS to

the HOST. Only sample results and result related messages are send.
