31 Loading Urine Chemistry Strips NOTES: Load 5 days of strips (up to 300 strips maximum) by loading up to 100 strips at a time. The strip provider module chamber can hold a maximum of 300 strips Remove and replace one desiccant pouch with each strip load (or strip loading event) or when the SPM is opened (i.e. strip jam or SPM maintenance). Any existing strips must be replaced with new strips whenever the SPM is opened. A strip loading event is defined as loading up to 300 strips in the SPM chamber by filling the strip loader with up to 100 strips at a time and turning the strips to drop into the SPM chamber. Allow the chamber to empty completely before adding new strips. Desiccant and strips must be removed and replaced with each strip load completion. CAUTION: Do not leave the test strips in the module for more than 5days. Strips exposed to the air for too long can cause erroneous results. Step Action 1 Rotate the strip loader to unlock position and pull out from the analyzer. 2 Remove and discard the old desiccant and replace with the new desiccant. 3 4 Fully extend the strip loader and tilt it at a 45-degree angle. Load the urine chemistry strips inside the Test Strip Loader as indicated on the Test Strip Loader (Iris logo facing the back of the instrument). Retract the strip loader, and then shake the loader lightly so that the chemistry strips are straight. Insert the strip loader inside the analyzer, and rotate the strip loader counter clockwise to the lock position. The chemistry strips drop inside the strip provider module, and the strip provider module will tumble to place the strips in the flat position using a quick consistent rotation. iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 31 of 187 Beckman Coulter

32 Check Wash Solution / Replace if needed The ichemvelocity Wash Solution comes packaged with the filters (one per bottle). Replace the Wash Solution Filter with each bottle. The instrument will display a message when empty. The Wash Solution has a 90 day open stability. Step 1 NOTE 2 Action Visually inspect the volume of the Wash Solution. If low, proceed with remainder of steps. Wear fresh gloves when changing the Wash Solution filter. Make sure the system is in Standby mode as indicated on the top left of the Instrument screen. 3 Remove the cap of the old Wash Solution bottle NOTE Remove the old filter by grasping the tube above the filter and pulling the filter straight off and discard according to local regulations.

63 INFORMATION/PRACTICE Sample Tube The following table identifies the validated sample tubes that can be used on the system: Iris Plastic Body Fluid Tubes ONLY Body Fluids 10 ml Conical bottom tubes (PN ) NOTE: Do not attempt to run body fluids using other tubes. Improper tubes could cause the system to create a Short Sample flag. In addition, it is possible that your specimen could adhere to the walls of the tubes that have not been approved by Iris Diagnostics.. iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 63 of 187 Beckman Coulter

64 Specimen Information Notes 1 2 Use only fresh urine specimens, as defined in CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) GP16-A3 Urinalysis and Collection, Transportation, and Preservation of Urine Specimen, Good Laboratory Practices and the Laboratory s Procedure Manuals. Collect urine in clean and/or sterile containers. If a specimen is not processed within an hour after collection, cap the container tightly and store 2-8 C. Bring the specimen to room temperature before testing. 3 Mix specimen well before testing Do NOT add disinfectant or detergent to the specimen Keep specimens out of direct sunlight Do NOT centrifuge urine specimens 4 5 Sample Volume: ichemvelocity alone requires 2 ml. iq200 Series alone requires 3 ml. Specimen volume for analysis by both the automated chemistry system and the iq200 series should be at least 4 ml. NOTE: 1 ml is dead volume. Hematuria: ichemvelocity: use a manual method for chemistry results. iq200: Iris Diagnostics recommends that dilutions be performed on grossly bloody, heavy mucoid or very dense specimens, and short samples, in order to avoid clogging the specimen filter. Very Dense or Viscous Specimens: Very viscous or very dense specimens may cause flow errors or clogs and require dilutions before being run on the iq200 Series. DO NOT run diluted specimens on the ichemvelocity. iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 64 of 187 Beckman Coulter

65 Running Specimens with Barcodes Obtain specimens and barcode labels from your facilitator. This section assumes bidirectional LIS download. Step Action Load barcoded samples into a patient rack with the barcode showing through the opening of the rack as shown below: 1 2 Verify the system is in Standby. 3 4 Place the rack on the ichemvelocity sampler area with the barcodes facing the instrument, and the rack positioned to the back of the sampler area. The system will automatically move the rack forward to the sample aspiration area. Once the samples are aspirated on the ichemvelocity, they will transfer to the iq and be processed. 5 Verify the systems change from Standby to Measure. 6 Once samples are finished processing, remove the rack from the unload area of the iq. iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 65 of 187 Beckman Coulter

66 Running Samples without Barcodes Step Action 1 Obtain non-barcoded specimen(s). 2 From the Instrument screen, select the Manual Orders button. The Manual Order screen is displayed. From the Manual Order screen, select the rack number to be used by clicking the button next to the corresponding number. 3 NOTE: The screen defaults to the 0 rack; however, there is NO rack 0. If samples are programmed using the default, the specimens will have an ID_ERROR. 4 Enter the specimen information corresponding to the specimen position: Specimen Identifier: Type in Specimen ID found on tube Fluid Type: Select URN from the drop down menu Dilution Code Select 0 from the drop down menu Work Order: Select RUN from the drop down menu 5 Select the OK button to save the programming. 6 Place the sample in the assigned rack and position. 7 8 Verify that the samples are processing by making sure the status changes on the ichemvelocity and iq from Standby to Measure. Do not take action at this time for any samples with error (alarms). We will review results later. iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 66 of 187 Beckman Coulter

67 Dilution Diluting a microscopic sample may be required before processing the sample on the iq, It is recommended that dilutions be performed on grossly bloody, heavily mucoid, or very dense specimens (in order to avoid clogging the specimen filter), and short samples. In order to use the dilution factors entered in the setup, a secondary barcode label printed in code 128 must be used. An example of the dilution factors screen is shown below. To find this information on your system, go to the Instrument screen and select the Settings button then the Formed Particles button. Select the Dilution Codes button to display the dilutions set up for your system. This information is detailed in Chapter 3 of the iq IFU. The dilution barcode is composed of 4 digits, the letters URN followed by the line number of the desired dilution ratio with a leading symbol that identifies it as a dilution barcode to the instrument. (See example on next page). iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 67 of 187 Beckman Coulter

68 The chemistry portion of a dilution should be run UNDILUTED using an ORANGE rack (23) on the ichemvelocity. This rack is specially labeled so that it will not be processed by the iq200 and will skip the iq sampling station and be transferred automatically to the unloading station for retrieval. Step Note Action Utilize the two identically labeled tubes. One will have the UNDILUTED sample (for the ichemvelocity) and one empty tube for making the dilution. Place the labeled undiluted patient tube in the dilution rack. 1 NOTE: The Dilution rack (numbered 23) must be used to run samples that will need dilution for microscopy on the iq200 after being processed on the ichemvelocity Load the dilution rack containing the undiluted sample onto the sampler of the ichemvelocity. Using the dilution code screen, select the appropriate dilution label. FOR CLASSROOM PURPOSES ONLY, use any of the dilution labels. Fix the desired dilution barcode label on the second empty tube as indicated below. iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 68 of 187 Beckman Coulter

69 NOTE NOTE NOTE Prepare the desired dilution using sample taken from your undiluted specimen and Iris Diluent. (For classroom purposes you do not need to physically make a dilution). Load the dilution tube into a regular patient rack (NOT THE DILUTION RACK). Load the rack on the iq module directly and press the Start button on the front of the instrument to run the sample. NOTE: Ensure that the ichemveocity has run the Chemistry before running the dilution. Once the diluted sample is complete, the results from the undiluted chemistry specimen will automatically consolodate with the results from the dilution tube and a collated report will be produced. There will be a dilution indicator in the heading of the report 1:X= where X would be the dilution based on the label you placed on the sample tube. If there are no flags present, the results will automatically be released and printed out. If there are flags present, you must review and accept the results from the Work List before it prints out. DO NOT review any samples at this time.. iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 69 of 187 Beckman Coulter

73 AUTO RELEASE AND RESULT VERIFICATION OBJECTIVES At the completion of this module, be able to: Understand Microscopic Analysis Process Understand Auto-Particle Recognition (APR) Understand Particle Verification Range (PVR) Understand Edit Free Release Understand Auto Release exceptions Know when a microscope confirmation is needed Understand Bacterial Grading Why Is It Important? For specimens with severely abnormal/pathologic particles, a trained operator may visually confirm the identification of the particles based on their morphological detail as displayed on the screen. The images presented for operator review are sufficient so that a trained operator can easily recognize the particle images. In cases requiring visual review, all the particle images are sorted and displayed in the auto-classified categories, which enhances the verification process. While the classification of particles is computer-aided, human judgment should still be exercised. NOTE Images should only be reclassified if the edit will change the clinical significance of the result.

Quantitative Result Report 1 Digital Image Capture The strobe light flashes 24 times/second The sample passes through the flowcell surrounded by iq Lamina The Digital (Charge Coupling Device, CCD) camera captures 500 frames per sample 2 Particle Detection Each frame is analyzed for the presence of particles Each individual particle is isolated, the edge of each object is traced and its size is identified iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 75 of 187 Beckman Coulter

76 3 Feature Extraction (Inputs) Each isolated particle is analyzed for specific features (size, contrast, shape, and texture) Features of each particle are converted to numerical values by a series of algorithms 4 Particle Classification (Outputs) Auto-Particle Recognition (APR) is a type of computerized neural network that has been trained to classify urine particles There are 12 auto-classifications with 26 subclassifications (subclassifications are used by the operator to further classify particles) Classifies particles by matching the particle numerical values with the auto-classifications hard coded values Neural network trained using over 26,000 particle images Classifications as follows: - RBC=Red Blood Cells - WBC=White Blood Cells - WBCC=White Blood Cell Clump - SQEP=Squamous Epithelial - NSE=Non-Squamous Epithelial - HYAL=Hyaline Cast - UNCC=Unclassified Cast - BACT=Bacteria - SPERM=Sperm - MUCOUS=Mucous - UNCX=Unclassified Crystal (CRYS is previous terminology) - BYST=Yeast (YST is previous terminology) iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 76 of 187 Beckman Coulter

77 4 Particle Classification (Outputs) continued How does APR work? If the unknown particle meets > 90% confidence level of an expected matrix, its image will be classified into a category If the particle s matrix is < 90% confidence level of all the auto-classified categories, its image will be placed in Unclassified (UNCL) and is incorporated into the particle type concentration Once all particles have been placed into their appropriate classifications, the software quantitates the results using the number of cells autoclassified, additional cells in UNCL, and the total volume analyzed - UNCL represents the entire specimen sorted by size - Used by the technologist to account for all NSEs and Casts 5 Quantitative Result Reporting Particle concentration is calculated using the number of images and the volume analyzed (REF: Run Equivalency Factor) iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 77 of 187 Beckman Coulter

105 INFORMATION/PRACTICE The iricell system INFORMATION/PRACTICE consists of two instruments. The system is designed to always have the specimen analyzed by the Chemistry analyzer first. The chemistry results transmit directly to the APUI. The microscopy and chemistry results are consolidated at the time the patient identification barcode is read by the iq. This allows the two results to be viewed on the Specimen screen at one time for ease of results verification. iq for Microscopic Analysis & ichemvelocity for Chemistry Analysis Component Function 1 SampleTransport Module (STM) Moves the racks from the load station (right side of the instrument), to the pipetting station (barcode reader), and then to the unload station (left side of the instrument). 2 Barcode Readers Located inside the instrument facing the pipetting station. The barcode scanner reads the sample barcodes and will query the LIS or the instrument PC for sample programming to either skip/run based on sample requirements. 3 Sample Bridge Connection between the ichemvelocity and the iq systems. Sample racks are transferred automatically from the chemistry system to the microscopic system. When the chemistry and iq systems are connected, the samples must complete their analysis on the chemistry system before being placed on the iq.

108 ichemvelocity Chemistry Theory The system produces quantitative results for specific gravity, semi-quantitative or qualitative results for glucose, blood, leukocyte esterase, bilirubin, urobilinogen, ph, protein, ketones, ascorbic acid, nitrites, color, and clarity Component Strip Provider Module (SPM) Strip Conveyor System (SCS) (below strip reader module) Strip Reader Module (SRM) Specific Gravity, Color, and Clarity Module (CGM) Function Strip Loader (top)-holds 300 strips maximum with an on-board stability of five days. The strips will be delivered from the strip loader to the SPM (bottom). When the sampler detects the presence of a test tube, a test strip is delivered facing up to the Strip Conveyor System. Moves the test strips through 8 light reading positions every 15 seconds: The strips go through a loading, dosing and eight reading positions. Measures the color of each pad of the chemistry test strips at different incubation times and uses the information to obtain the analytes semi-quantitative concentrations. Specific gravity is obtained using a refractometer. Color and Clarity are obtained from a flowcell using white light, color sensor to detect the color of the sample, and the amplitude of light scattered within the flowcell to determine clarity of the sample. iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 108 of 187 Beckman Coulter

109 5 Fluidics Consists of a Sample Probe that mixes the specimen inside the sample tube. The Wash Station is used to rinse the inside and outside of the sample probe and to discard wash solution.

149 BODY FLUIDS OBJECTIVES Given an operating iricell System, be able to: Run Body Fluid Controls Run Body Fluid Background Run Body Fluid Samples Why Is It Important? The iricell System has an optional iq Body Fluids Module that creates a workflow solution for processing body fluid samples. Performing manual body fluid counts is a daily task that can occupy much of your time in the lab. Learning how to process body fluids efficiently on the iricell System saves you time. Resources iq IFU iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 149 of 187 Beckman Coulter

150 iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 150 of 187 Beckman Coulter

151 INFORMATION/PRACTICE Theory of Operation The iq Series System auto-identifies, processes, and identifies images from specimens that are loaded into specific body fluid racks. Body Fluids specimens are prepared by splitting the specimens into two aliquots. One aliquot is mixed with iq Body Fluids Lysing Reagent and the other is mixed with Iris Diluent. The two aliquots are prepared differently because successful analysis relies on subjecting one aliquot to selective cell lysis. Selective lysis is a chemical process that destroys red blood cells membrane causing the membrane to burst and releasing its contents into the solution. The iq Body Fluids Module reports the total number of cells in each of the two aliquots. The cells from the diluted aliquot are called "Total Cells, and the cells from the lysed aliquot are called Nucleated Cells because the RBCs have been destroyed. The difference between the "Total Cells" and the "Nucleated Cells" represents the number of RBCs in the specimen. The lower linearity is Zero, and the upper linearity of 10,000 cells/ul, but is extended with the Extended Linearity Procedure. CSF samples are to have a minimum of 1:5 dilution Serous Fluids (e.g. Peritoneal, Pericardial, etc..) need to have a minimum of 1:20 dilution Body Fluid Start Up Procedure In order to run Body Fluids, the Body Fluid CD must be in the system. Step Action 1 Place the Body Fluid Module CD in the CD drive. 2 3 From the Instrument screen, select Go off line. Select the Maintenance button. 4 Select the Restart button. 5 When the Main Screen appears, log on using User ID and Password. 6 Select Manual Order and verify that racks 25,26,and 27 are listed NOTE There are three area that change when Body Fluids are enabled.

152 Body Fluid Controls Step Action 1 Warm body fluid controls to room temperature. 2 Place 3 unlabeled conical bottom tubes in position 2, 3, and 4 of the Body Fluid QC (BFQC) rack. 3 Place barcodes on the tubes in positions 3 and 4 with the level of control to be tested. 4 Pour 1.25 ml of Iris Diluent into the tube in Position 2. 5 Pipette 1.0 ml of iq Body Fluid Lysing Reagent into the tube in position 3. 6 Pipette 1.0 ml of Iris Diluent into the tube in Position 4. 7 To mix iq Controls: Hold vial horizontally between the palm back and forth for seconds Mix by rapid inversion 8 Pipette 250 µl of control into both tubes in positions 3 and 4. 9 Tap gently to mix tubes 3 and Place the BFQC rack on the iq system and press Start button. NOTE: It is recommended to run well-mixed body fluid control material IMMEDIATELY after performing the dilutions. 11 To review BF Controls, select the Work List button to locate the controls in the Work List. 12 Select the control to be reviewed, and select the Specimens button to navigate to the Specimen screen Review and edit the results in the same manner as a body fluid patient specimen by moving all artifacts into the designed ART classification. Click the Accept button. NOTE: If the BF QC fails, a yellow flag will be displayed on the Instrument screen, and body fluid specimens will not be allowed to run. Repeat steps 2-14 for the next level of control until both levels of control have been processed. iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 152 of 187 Beckman Coulter

153 Body Fluid Background A reagent background check must be performed weekly using the reagents straight with the same type of barcoding as the QC. It is run to ensure that the system reagents have not been contaminated. Step Action 1 Warm lysing reagent to room temperature. 2 3 Place 3 unlabeled conical bottom tubes in positions 2, 3, and 4 of the Body Fluid QC (BFQC) rack. Place Background barcodes on the tubes in positions 3 and 4 with the level of control to be tested. NOTE: The Background barcodes used can be found in the Body Fluid Controls set. 4 Pour 1.25 ml of Iris Diluent into the tube in Position 2. 5 Pipette 1.25 ml of iq Body Fluid Lysing Reagent into the tube in Position 3. 6 Pipette 1.25 ml of Iris Diluent into the tube in Position 4. 7 Place the BFQC rack on the iq system and press the Start button. 8 To review reagent background count, select the Work List button to locate the background in the Work list. 9 Select the control to be reviewed, and click the Specimens button to navigate to the Specimen screen. 10 Review and edit the results in the same manner as a body fluid patient specimen. 11 Click the Accept button. NOTE: Edited background passes if there are 3 particles/µl. NOTE: Each specimen is run on its own Body Fluids rack while operating in the iq Body Fluids Module mode. Use racks 25, 26, and 27 for running samples. iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 153 of 187 Beckman Coulter

154 Processing Patient Samples Step Action 1 Choose Body Fluid Racks 25, 26, or Place patient barcode labels along with appropriate dilution labels. Choose the appropriate dilution using dilution chart below: 3 4 Use BF Conical tubes in the following sequence: Position Material ml of Iris Diluent (optional) ml of Iris Diluent. 3 Pipette appropriate amount of Lyse based on desired dilution. 4 Pipette appropriate amount of Diluent based on desired dilution ml of Iris Diluent (optional or following turbid, bloody, or extremely viscous body fluid samples). iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 154 of 187 Beckman Coulter

155 5 Place the appropriate amount of BF sample in positions 3 and 4. NOTE Always add the correct amount of lysing reagent or diluent to the tube first. It is very important to add the specimen to the lysing reagent or diluent not vice versa. Specimens that are added directly to empty tubes can adhere to the wall of the tube which can impede them from mixing properly into solution. For the same reason, it is important not to apply the specimen to the wall of the tube above the solution. 6 Tap gently to mix tubes 3 and 4. 7 Place the BF sample rack on the iq and press the Start button. iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 155 of 187 Beckman Coulter

156 Body Fluid Results Verifying The iq Body Fluids Module initially classifies particles based on their size which streamlines the editing process. After editing is complete, a report quantifying the number of RBCs and the number of Nucleated Cells in the fluid specimen is created. Even though the iq Body Fluids Module initially counts the number of Nucleated Cells and Total Cells, the module calculates and reports the number of RBCs by subtracting the number of cells in the lysed aliquot (in which the RBCs are destroyed) from the number of cells in the diluted aliquot. iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 156 of 187 Beckman Coulter

157 Reviewing and Re-Classifying Images When the Body Fluid software is enabled, the Work List automatically displays an extra column labeled Type, which identifies the type of fluid sample. The Rack ID/barcode label for tubes analyzed with the Body Fluids Module will always be racks 25, 26, or 27, and the tube position will always read 3 (the position of the lysed sample). Step Action Select the specimen results on the Work List, then click the Specimens button. NOTE: The Specimen screen in the body fluids module displays the aggregate results from the two sample tubes (lysed and diluted) within the same BF rack. 1 Select the Total Cells button to display the initial cell count. 2 Re-Classify cells to other categories (Bacteria, Crystals or ART) as needed. 3 Click the Next button to review Total Nucleated Cells. 4 When review is complete, click the Accept button. iricell Complete Urinalysis Training Guide Page 157 of 187 Beckman Coulter

161 SAMPLE ANALYSIS 2 OBJECTIVES Given an operating iricell System, be able to: Split chemistry and microscopy results and rerun Split chemistry and microscopy results and rerun using manual programming Merge and consolidate IDs Why Is It Important? When a dilution barcode is missing or not properly attached to the specimen, it may cause the chemistry and microscopy results to be separated. This process is also helpful when you do not have enough specimen to run through both the chemistry and microscopy side of the system. In this situation, the chemistry portion is run on the undiluted sample while the microscopy portion can be processed using a dilution to bring the volume up to the minimum.
