: Only use the "Paper Advance" key to move thermal paper; never pull the paper manually as it damages the printer mechanism. Common Troubleshooting Observed Problem Possible Cause/Action No Power Check the power cable and rear fuses. Temperature Error
The Start 4 involves magnetic components. Do not bring strong magnets near the detection area.
: While temperature and well calibration are possible via a service menu, these are generally reserved for authorized service personnel. Decontamination
The system automatically detects the reaction, starts the timer, and stops it when the clot forms. Step 3: Result Recording diagnostica stago start 4 coagulation analyzer manual
The Start 4 Coagulation Analyzer is a multi-functional instrument that measures the coagulation properties of blood samples. It is equipped with advanced technology and features that enable accurate and precise results. The instrument has a compact design, making it suitable for small to medium-sized laboratories.
Activate the main switch. The analyzer will perform a self-check.
Perform temperature calibration validation of the incubation block using a calibrated digital thermometer probe. : Only use the "Paper Advance" key to
Verdict: An essential, well-structured companion for a mechanical workhorse, though it requires patience to master the visual workflow diagrams.
Alternatively, trigger measurements manually via the keypad.
: Use the electronically-linked pipette to add reagents; this automatically triggers the measurement countdown. Do not bring strong magnets near the detection area
4 independent built-in countdown timers with audible status alerts
: 4 independent channels for clotting-based assays. Incubation Wells : 16 wells (4 columns of 4) maintained at
1. Re-insert paper ensuring the thermal side faces the print head.2. Clean the roller mechanism of paper dust. Summary and Best Practices
The results are displayed in seconds, percentages, INR, or g/L, depending on the test programmed. The analyzer can print results if connected to a printer. 4. Maintenance and Quality Control (QC)
