Intended Use
The m-PIMA™ Analyser is a portable automated bench-top analyser for
processing m-PIMA™ test cartridges. The m-PIMA™ Analyser is suited to be
used in laboratory as well as in non-laboratory environments.
The instrument is classied as in vitro diagnosc device.
User Prole
User proles are described in detail in the respecve Package Inserts (PI) of the
m-PIMA™ test cartridges.
Test Principle
An m-PIMA™ test consists of a disposable test cartridge containing both dried
reagents and liquid buer and the m-PIMA™ Analyser.
Depending on the test cartridge used, appropriate volumes of test sample are
applied onto the cartridge.
During processing of the test, data is recorded, analysed and interpreted using
soware embedded within the instrument. Upon compleon of the test the
cartridge is removed from the m-PIMA™ Analyser and a test result is displayed.
For detailed informaon on the test principle of the individual assay, please
refer to the respecve Cartridge Guides.
Data Handling
The m-PIMA™ Analyser provides for data entry (Operator, Sample ID), archiving
and connecvity to printers, data storage media and remote FTP servers.
You can save all results in the on-board archive and retrieve or download and
export them at any me aer the test.
Addionally, you can print a Test Report using the aached external USB
Printer.

To prevent undesired discharge of the internal baery an energy preservaon
mode (EP-mode) is implemented by the manufacturer. Before starng to work
with your m-PIMA™ Analyser see the following instrucons.
Seng up the m-PIMA™ Analyser
• Connect the instrument to A/C power or a compable external energy
source as listed in “Components and oponal items” (page 9) before
switching on your m-PIMA™ Analyser. When using external power sources
also refer to their respecve handling instrucons.
• Insert the A/C power cord into the power transformer.
• Connect the power transformer to the power connector port located at
the back of the instrument. Please note that the power plug can only be
inserted in one parcular direcon. Make sure that the arrow on the at
side of the plug is facing the main power switch (see graphic).
• Connect the power cord to the corresponding A/C power socket.
Illuminaon of the power supply LED indicates the connecon to mains
power.

• Then press the grey Power On buon located on the front of the
m-PIMA™ Analyser. The EP-mode of the internal baery is now deacvated.
An automated inializaon procedure
commences and may last for approximately
one minute. The screen changes automacally
during this procedure.
Please refer to secon 8 to learn more about
shung down the m-PIMA™ Analyser and
re-acvaon of the EP-mode. If the
m-PIMA™ Analyser fails to correctly inialize,
an Error Code or an Error Message will
be displayed.
Please refer to secon 9 to learn more about
Error Codes and respecve acons.
The m-PIMA™ Analyser is ready for use when
the «HOME» screen is displayed.
Charging the m-PIMA™ Analyser
Your m-PIMA™ Analyser is supplied with a partly charged baery secured
within the instrument to cover power outages. Once the m-PIMA™ Analyser
is set up and the baery EP-mode is deacvated the baery will be
automacally charged while the instrument is running and connected to an
external power supply.
