i15 Blood Gas and Chemistry Analysis System User Manual System Overview

- 18 -

NOTE:

The distance between the analyzer and the bar code should be 6 - 15cm.

3. If the bar code is scanned successfully, the analyzer will beep and automatically turn off the

scanner.

4. If the scanned data is valid, the system will display the screen for the next procedure. If the

scanned data is invalid, a message will pop up to prompt you.

CAUTION

1. In order to avoid injury, never look into the red beam.

2. To avoid damage, never scratch the protective glasses of the scanner with hard

objects.

3. To avoid damage and injury, never strike the protective glasses of the scanner.

4. To avoid unsuccessful scanning, clean the scanner with a lint-free cloth when there is

visible dirt.

2.4.9 Exhaust Fan

The exhaust fan is located at the rear of the analyzer to prevent the analyzer from overheating.

When the analyzer temperature is over preset threshold, the fan will be automatically turned on.

NOTE:

 Make sure that the vents of the analyzer are not obstructed to ensure good

ventilation.

 If the exhaust fan does not run properly, please contact EDAN or its authorized

distributors for assistance.

2.4.10 Electronic Simulator

Electronic simulators are quality control devices for checking the analyzer’s ability to take

accurate measurements of voltage, current and conductivity from test cartridges.

Internal Electronic Simulator

Internal electronic simulator is self-contained in the analyzer for automatically conducting

simulator tests at the preset frequency.
