Please review our Privacy Policy for more details. All Rights Reserved. By continuing to browse the site you are agreeing to our use of cookies. This high speed automated analyzer streamlines diverse chemistry-immuno testing to provide the greatest walkaway, while processing up to 1,200 tests per hour. The new AU640 not only incorporates the proven technology of the Olympus AU600, but also includes the latest advances of its new AU400 to increase ease of use and provide more powerful performance.. Supplied with a Windows NT platform, the AU640 is completely user friendly. Routine testing is as simple as a click on the start icon with bar-coded samples. Operator training and system maintenance are simplified with the on-line operator's manual and context-sensitive HELP functions. A modem link to Olympus experts is included. CLIA, NCCLS, CAP compliance is supported by software documentation QC features. Hospitals now have increased flexibility to use the AU640 as a primary analyzer for rapid response or as a dedicated specialty unit. It can be linked to another AU400 or AU600 for even greater automation.

Barcoded liquid ready-to-use Olympus reagents provide automated on-board management of inventory and calibration and quality control. It uses the same methodologies across the family product lines to provide standardized results as well as common reagents, consumables and parts. The analyzer processes a basic metabolic panel of seven tests in less than four minutes and successive panels every 45 seconds. Through its 150 sample loading capacity and continuous feed, it offers incredible walkaway and higher productivity. Manual steps are minimized through automated repeat testing, reflex testing, and automated pre-dilution for urines. As an added margin of safety, the AU640 also incorporates probe crash prevention design along with clot detection. End point, kinetic assays, fixed-time-kinetics, optionally ISE.

New criteria have been defined for impaired glucose metabolism and, accordingly, there is a need for precise and accurate glucose analysis for the correct classification of patients. However, neither the World Health Organisation nor the National Service Framework for Diabetes in England and Wales deal with the associated analytical issues for plasma glucose. To compare two different methods for plasma glucose with respect to European and CLIA '88 quality requirements. Using several different graphical and statistical techniques, the YSI 2300 STAT was found to be 8.1-8.4 negatively biased for plasma glucose when compared with the Olympus AU640 method. Such a large bias would have a large impact on the detection of diabetes mellitus in clinical practice and therefore this method should not be used to make a definitive diagnosis. The bias probably results from the fact that the YSI 2300 STAT uses an aqueous based standard.However, neither the World Health Organisation nor the National Service Framework for Diabetes in England and Wales deal with the associated analytical issues for plasma glucose. Conclusions: Such a large bias would have a large impact on the detection of diabetes mellitus in clinical practice and therefore this method should not be used to make a definitive diagnosis. The bias probably results from the fact that the YSI 2300 STAT uses an aqueous based standard.
General practitioners send their specimens via a courier van service to the department of clinical biochemistry, where plasma glucose is measured on one of three Olympus AU640 analysers (Olympus Diagnostic Systerms, Southall, Middlesex, UK) using a hexokinase based methodology. The diabetologists previously diagnosed diabetes mellitus by analysing plasma glucose in line with international recom- mendations 4 on a Yellow Springs Instrument (YSI; YSI Inc, Yellow Springs, Ohio, USA) 2300 STAT analyser in the diabetes outpatients department. The YSI STAT 2300 system is capable of analysing both whole blood and plasma specimens (YSI STAT 2300 laboratory manual pages B-2 and B-4; Appendix B, Sample collection and handling: B1 Blood plasma, B2 whole blood), and most specimens analysed on the YSI STAT 2300 in the diabetes outpatients department are whole blood specimens. In addition to using different methods, these analysers used different calibrators: the Olympus system’s calibrator is similar to plasma in content and the YSI’s glucose calibrator is aqueous glucose. Therefore it was decided to compare these two different systems to ensure comparability between the YSI STAT 2300 and the Olympus AU640 (definitive method). METHOD A systems analysis was performed in accordance with the principles for evaluation of analytical quality specifications to see whether there were substantial differences between the two methods. After thawing, these samples were subsequently analysed by both methods within two hours of each other. Ethics approval was not required because glucose alone was analysed.The glucose concentra- tion is proportional to the NADH induced increase in absorbance at 340 nm (Olympus System Reagent Glucose OSR 6121 and OSR 6221). The YSI STAT 2300 uses a steady state measurement methodology, where membrane based glucose oxidase catalyses the oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide.
The difference between the sample generated plateau current and the initial baseline current is proportional to the glucose concentration (YSI STAT 2300 laboratory manual page 5-4). The standards set for total error were the European recommendations based on biological criteria, 5 which have been calculated at 5.5 ( htm (last accessed 13 December 2003)), and the CLIA ’88 6 regulations (table 1). The quality specification for the allowable difference in results between two different methods for the same analyte in one laboratory is that the difference should be less than one third of the within subject biological variation. However, it was decided to compare these methods as if they were from different laboratories because this has more widespread relevance. Should this criterion fail, then the stricter within laboratory criterion would similarly fail. The suggested minimum difference that should be detected at the diabetic diagnostic limit for fasting glucose was 10. 6 Power calculations were performed using a power of 90, given a significance level of 5, to ensure that sufficient samples were used in this study to detect this difference. 7 Analyses were performed over five days to ensure that the method comparison did not become dependent on the performance of the methods in one particular analytical run. Analysis on both analysers occurred within two hours. RESULTS The data from the five days were comparable. The correlation coefficient ( r ) was 0.9991 by Deming regression (CBstat package 2.4.1; Kristian Linnet, University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark), and accordingly linear regression (CBstat package 2.4.1) and a scatter plot were performed (fig 1). The percentage difference plot had. 5 of the data points outside the biological quality specifications and, accordingly, the difference between the two methods is greater than the biological quality specifications (fig 2). The mean difference was 2 8.1, the SD was 2.44, and the SEM was 0.3.
