2.4 Safety Precautions for Operators

 Before using this Instrument, make sure that the Instrument

was installed by authorized personnel.

 If the Instrument is not installed correctly, it could break down

or cause fire, electric shock or injury.

 Check the following points before starting operation. These

checks are necessary in order to prevent accidents and injuries.

the warning labels are legible

the ground connection is fully secured

 A broken power cable could result in electric shock, fire, and

short circuit. Observe the following points.

the cable is not twisted

the cable is not caught by pressure between the Instrument

and the wall.

the cable is not bent too tight

nothing is put on the cable

the cable is not tied in a bundle

the cable is not modified

cause overheating, burn injuries and fires.

 Do not get the power cable or plug wet, or electrical shock and

short circuit may result.

 Never touch the power plug with wet hands, or electric shock

may result.

 Using the power cable plug (plugging it in and unplugging it) to

turn the power on and off may cause the plug to overheat.

Always use the power switch (or the Main Breaker).

Warning

HM-JACKarc Operation Manual

Safety Precautions

2 - 4 Rev.4

 Only use consumables and replacement parts (including

screws) that are specified by Kyowa Medex Co., Ltd.

 Before cleaning the Instrument, turn the power off and be

sure to remove the power plug from the socket.

 In the event of any malfunction of the Instrument, turn the

power switch off immediately and remove the power plug

from the socket. Leaving faults unattended can cause

accidents and fires.

 Do not turn the power switch off and on repeatedly.

 The Mixing Spatula, Sample Pipette and Reagent Pipette

attached to the injection assembly are sharp and could

cause injury.

 The ends of the Mixing Spatula, Sample Pipette and Reagent

Pipette attached to the injection assembly come into direct

contact with Samples (stool samples) and Reagent. Incorrect

handling of those parts could cause infection with

pathogens or poisoning with Reagent. Wear medical rubber

gloves while working, and take extra care to avoid infection.

Warning

2.5 Safety Precautions for Maintenance

 Do not modify the Instrument without permission. Modification

could cause unexpected hazards.

 Use consumables and replacement parts (including screws)

only specified by Kyowa Medex Co., Ltd.

 Before servicing the Instrument or removing any of its parts

(fixing faults, replacing parts, inspecting, repairing, etc.), turn

the power switch off and be sure to disconnect the power plug

from the socket to avoid getting electric shock.

 When disconnecting the power plug from the socket, always

grip and pull on the plug itself, not on the cable.

 Use fuses of the only specified type. Use of non-specified fuses

could cause the Instrument to malfunction or, in some cases,

start a fire.

 Using the power cable plug (plugging it in and unplugging it) to

turn the power on and off may cause the plug to overheat.

Always use the power switch (or the Main Breaker).

 This Instrument weighs approximately 56 kg. Handle it with

extra care when moving. Note that moving the Instrument

should be done by two or more people.

extra care to avoid infection when handling them, by wearing

medical rubber gloves etc.

 Before handling sample containers, reagents and buffer, read

and understand the Instructions for Use. Handle them with care

to avoid accidents.

 Any Mixing Spatula, Sample Pipette and Reagent Pipette which

has been detached or removed is sharp and dangerous. Handle

them with extra care.

 The ends of the Mixing Spatula, Sample Pipette and Reagent

Pipette attached to the injection assembly come into direct

contact with samples (stool samples) and reagents. Incorrect

handling of those parts could cause infection with pathogens or

poisoning with reagents. Wear medical rubber gloves at all

times while working, and take extra care to avoid infection.

 Here below is a list of Waste materials generated by regular analysis.

They should be handled as medical waste and disposed of by a

specialist contractor.

 Liquid waste

 Reagents and reagent bottles

 Buffer and buffer fluid bottles

 Used stool sample containers

 Hemoglobin standards before and after preparation

 Hemoglobin standard containers

 Used sample cups

 Control samples before and after preparation

 Control sample containers

 The Instrument contains lithium battery. The local restriction or WEEE

Safety Precautions

2 - 7 Rev.4

2.7 Instrument Safety Device

 Overcurrent Protection

2 or more ampere of current (input voltage 220v) will be interrupted

immediately by internal breaker and the power will be shut down.

 Transformer Secondary Fuses

 A fuse is installed to protect Control PCBs (Main PCB, Power PCB) from

overcurrent.

 Thetransformer is protected from overheating by a thermal fuse.

 A fuse is installed to protect the lamp from overcurrent.

 Outer Cover Opening Check Sensor

If the outer cover is open, the Analyzer does not start motion. If the outer

cover is opened while the Analyzer is in motion, an error occurs and the

Analyzer will stop sampling. There are 2 switches to secure the function.

2.8 Noise Level of the Analyzer

The maximum noise level is 70db.

2.9 Note for Supplied Water and Detergent

 Temperature of supplied water

The temperature of supplied water for this Instrument should be in

20-30 ℃. Lower temperature of water may cause malfunction of

instrument wash, and higher one may damage the tubing and lead to

leakage of water.

 Amount of use of Detergent

The amount of use of Detergent (water include 0.1% of detergent) is

approximately 4.5mL per a test. It is also used in priming and wash. It is

necessary to keep enough amount of prepared Detergent during the run.

3.1 Characteristics of the Analyzer

3.1.1 Outline

 This Analyzer measures the amount of human hemoglobin present in

a stool sample.

 Compact and light analyzer designed for installation in a small space.

 Barcode reading input is applied to register Sample ID, Calibration

Master Curve and Calibrator Information to make the operation easier

for operators.

 A two-point calibration method is adopted to simplify the measurement

operation.

 The measurement method is Latex Agglutination, which is quick and

achieves superior sensitivity.

 Superior detection sensitivity realizes smaller volume of stool sample

and less smell.

 The sample loading capacity of the Analyzer is 80.

 Reaction Cells are replaced after use automatically.

 The Sample Collection Picker achieves superior stability for human

hemoglobin, reduces the decline in the amount of human hemoglobin

and enables more accurate measurement.

 Analysis results can be checked on the screen and printout. Also,

connection to a host computer enables data to be exported.

Outline of Instrument

3 - 2 Rev.4

3.1.2 Principles of Operation

The Reagent Pipette aspirates the Latex Reagent, which then move to a

Cell on the Reaction Table, where it is dispensed together with the Buffer.

Next, the Reaction Table Rotates and the Cell containing the Reagent

moves to the sampling position. The Sample Pipette aspirates a Sample,

which is then dispensed to the Cell. The Mixing Spatula then turns

counterclockwise to mix the Reagent and the Sample together.

The Cell containing the Reagent and the Sample moves to the detection

position after a period of time set under the measurement conditions, and

the first photometric measurement (ISTT1) is performed. After another set

period of time, the second photometric measurement (ISTT2) is

performed.

The amount of change in the Integrating Sphere Turbidity of the two

photometric measurements (ΔIST=ISTT2-ISTT1) is calculated by the

computer according to the calibration curve to output the measurement

result.

This series of actions is repeated to measure all samples placed in the

sample rack.
