The conversion of coagulation time into a specific test unit is one using a linear,
hyperbolic, semi-logarithmic or double-logarithmic interpolation of the stored calibration
points. The current mathematical model is printed out in "TEST SETUP." Values outside
the calibration range are calculated by extrapolation and flagged as " * ".
Please read the Operation manual in its entirety prior to operation, in order to
ensure a high level of performance and to avoid errors by user.
Use only TECO approved and labeled material like cuvettes, spare parts or
reagents for which the instrument is intended and validated for.
Do not use materials after their date of expiry. Especially expired IVD
reagents may cause false results.
Bleeding or Thrombosis
Diagnosis and medication of human coagulation system based on false
results may lead to critical bleeding or thrombosis. For risk reduction it is
essential to follow the hints below.
Regarding risks:
Caused by faulty condition of the instrument, reagent or calibration data:
Perform a quality control before running a series of patient samples or after
reconstitution of a vial or after test calibration to eliminate failure of
theinstrument, reagent or calibration data.
Caused by imprecise pipeting:
Validate your pipette every year and label it with the last date of validation.
Caused by false assignment of target values:
Run interlaboratory quality control standards.

This section describes only rudimental how to run basic clotting tests on Coatron. Correct
procedure may be different for specific reagents. Read and follow always the procedure
in boxinsert of reagent kit.
How to calibrate a PT
1. Reconstitute calibrator and wait 15-30min before continue with next step
2. Calibrators
The target value of calibrator is state at certificate. I assume 100% as example
IBS, Owrens or NaCl2 solution can be used as sample diluent
a. 100%: Pipet 100µl calibrator into empty tube
b. 50%: Pipet 100µL 100% calibrator + 100µL diluent into empty tube
c. 25%: Pipet 100µL 50% calibrator + 100µL diluent into empty tube
d. 12.5%: Pipet 100µL 25% calibrator + 100µL diluent into empty tube
3. Run all 4 calibrators like patients and write down the clotting time
(double determination is recommended)
4. Enter PT settings and enter
a. correct LOT, Exp (read Barcode of vial label)
b. set UNITS to “INR + %”
c. Input Normal Time (=100% result) + ISI (see vial)
d. Input % calibration
a. 600mg/dL: Pipet 50µl calibrator + 200µL IBS buffer into empty tube
b. 300mg/dL: Pipet 50µl calibrator + 4500µL IBS buffer into empty tube
c. 150mg/dL: Pipet 50µl calibrator + 950µL IBS buffer into empty tube
d. 75mg/dL: Pipet 50µl calibrator + 1950µL IBS buffer into empty tube

Only for authorized and trained persons. Sudden interruption of power or data
communication during update procedure will cause device not to boot anymore. In this
case, the instrument can be restored only by JTAG interface.
2. Flashdisk.exe is a selfrunning Winzip archive. A double click will start the update
dialogue. Some antivirus software may block selfrunning archiv. In this case extract
the file to your desktop and execute “XFlash.exe”
5. Connect USB cable to instrument USB “Service” (=second USB port from left)
XFlash will now identify the instrument and display “CONTINUE”. Abort XFlash, if no
instrument is found and install device driver “FT232.exe” manually. The file is
included in the flashdisk archive.
6. Confirm “Start Update”. After this command the firmware will be transmitted to
instrument. There is no way to interrupt. After around 120s the update will be
finished.
7. Remove power and afterward USB cable from service port. Now connect power to
instrument. It should boot and show correct firmware version.

Test calibration:
TECAM software is a small local LIS and combines laboratory data management, quality control
and research purpose in one. It connects the Coatron to the “big” LIS and and manange results in
an own local database. Flexible filters allow QC with Levey-Jennings graph and Westgard analysis.
Each result can be traced back to reagent lot and calibration.
Features Smart
Receive result from analyser The results can be reported and manage in a locl database
Power filters allow quality evey-Jennings graph and Westgard analysis for
Statistical analyze (QC)
controls as well as for patients
Mirror print Instead of expensive portable thermo printer, use TECAM as printer
Regard all surfaces and materials, which might be in contact with plasma or
other biological liquid as potentially contaminated with infectious material.
