Product Description 1

Product Overview

The EasyLyte analyzer is a direct measurement ion-selective electrode (ISE) system which uses

Sodium (Na), Chloride (Cl), Potassium (K), and Lithium (Li) sensitive components to measure

electrolytes in either whole blood, serum, plasma or urine.

The analyzer software allows the operator to perform sample analysis, analyzer diagnostics and

maintenance by simply pressing the "YES" or "NO" buttons in response to prompts displayed on

the LCD screen. The EasyLyte analyzer performs the analysis both quickly and cost effectively.

Analysis takes only one minute and utilizes approximately one hundred microliters of whole

blood, serum or plasma; or four hundred microliters of diluted urine.

The analyzer can re-calibrate automatically every four hours and can perform emergency (STAT)

analysis on demand. Results are always displayed on the LCD screen and can also be docu-

mented on paper by an integrated printer.

The analyzer contains a patented reagent system including a modular reagent pack. This pack

provides a minimum of two months supply of solution and also serves as a waste receptacle for

solution and samples after analysis.

System Overview

The EasyLyte analyzer is engineered to make local service feasible. Modular construction is

used throughout the design. The basic operating system consists of a motor which drives a peri-

staltic pump. The peristaltic pump pulls the desired fluid through the system, disposing waste into

a designated compartment inside the solutions pack. A second motor drives a lead screw which

in turn drives a mechanical link-arm assembly. This link-arm assembly moves the sample probe

vertically allowing the probe inside the solutions valve to aspirate the appropriate fluid for pump-

ing: sample; standards; or air. The sample detector in the fluid line positions the fluids.

Please note that mechanical and electrical assemblies can be replaced. Follow the instructions in

the TROUBLE SHOOTING SECTION to determine if assembly replacement is necessary. Refer

to the Replacement List in this section which lists replaceable assemblies, components, and

appropriate catalog numbers.

If repair to any electrical assembly is necessary, consult Schematics in the APPENDIX

SECTION for further detail. Service personnel are encouraged to contact Medica directly with

any problems or concerns relating to electrical assemblies.

Troubleshooting 15

Troubleshooting Overview

This section describes troubleshooting the mechanical and electrical functions of the EasyLyte

analyzer. This section is based on the principle of replacing suspected faulty assemblies with

new assemblies. Medica recommends keeping an inventory of functioning test assemblies

for troubleshooting the EasyLyte. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide in this section to deter-

mine the cause and corrective action that must be taken to properly service the EasyLyte

Analyzer.

Since EasyLyte Analyzers with serial numbers below 6100 are assembled using Power

Supply, part no. 05001065 and CPU, part no. 05001063 the troubleshooting instructions

differ in certain areas. Please refer to the serial number, located on the back panel of the

analyzer, to identify which instructions to follow.

For information on troubleshooting the EasyLyte Analyzer flow system and consumable items,

consult the EasyLyte Operator’s Manual. See the Replacement List in the PRODUCT

DESCRIPTION SECTION of this manual for a complete listing of all consumable items and cata-

log numbers. For information on troubleshooting the EasyLyte EasySampler consult

Troubleshooting in the EASYSAMPLER SECTION.
