3.1. Introduction

The following chapters concern the safety of the person operating the device.

Read these chapters carefully prior to starting up the analyzer because they contain general safety warnings, warnings concerning
the personal safety of the person operating the device, and warnings for the protection of the device.

Displaying the following safety warnings does not release the person operating the device from adhering to the safety
measures of the facility.

3.2. Responsibility / Training of the operator

 The Mispa i3 analyzer must only be used and operated by trained personnel. An employee of the manufacturer or of an
authorized distributor will introduce the operation procedures.
 Every user is responsible for adhering to safety, health, and legal regulations, and operating the device only according to its
intended use.
 Interpreting the results and diagnosing on that basis must be left to a medical practitioner. Operating the device for home
testing is expressly forbidden.

10 | P a g e
3.3. General safety instructions

 Prior to operating Mispa i3, read the entire operator’s manual especially the instructions for sample taking. If you have any
questions, please contact the manufacturer or authorized distributor.
 Every person working with the device must be acquainted with the relevant safety rules prior to operating the device and
these rules should be kept at hand all the time. Please pay attention to all general safety rules for laboratories such as
personal protective equipment, and the applicable disinfection and hygiene regulations.
 In case of unintentional skin contact with potential infectious material, e.g. Human blood/Urine samples disinfect the place
concerned with a suitable antiseptic solution.
 The system solution is not corrosive, toxic or strongly skin irritating. In case of skin contact with system solution, the washing
of the concerned place with water is appropriate.
 To avoid risk of electric shock, do not place the instrument or its power supply in water or other liquids! If the cable or the
power supply adapter is damaged in any way, you must not continue using the power supply.
 Never touch the plug of the power supply adapter with wet hands. The power supply adapter must only be used indoors and
must be protected from humidity.

3.4. Product specific safety instructions

 The device may only be used for the intended use with special attention to the defined usage restrictions and constraints to
be strictly adhered to (in case of need contact the manufacturer).
 In case of not intended use, it is pointed out explicitly that the safety measures of the device may be ineffective.
 Operate the device only on smooth, horizontal surfaces. Avoid deviations with regard to temperature, drafts, direct sun light
or vibrations. These can result in faulty measuring values.
 In case of malfunction, stop operating Mispa i3® immediately! Prior to continuing to operate the device, read the notes
concerning cleaning, error messages and troubleshooting. After consulting the manufacturer or authorized distributor, you
may ship the device for repairs to the manufacturer or authorized distributor.
 Use only original accessories and spare parts to avoid damage to the analyzer and to people. Repairs must only be conducted
by the manufacturer or by companies authorized by the manufacturer.
 The use of reagents and consumption materials that are not expressly recommended by the manufacturer can cause severe
measuring errors and malfunctions and is therefore not permissible.
 If the user opens the device without authorization, he shall not be entitled to any rights concerning the liability for the device

11 | P a g e
3.5. Maintenance interval

The Mispa i3 needs periodic maintenance by authorized professionals every year. Without regular maintenance, false measuring
results may occur for which the manufacturer is not liable.

For further information, please refer to the chapter Maintenance / Troubleshooting.

4. Description of analyzer
4.1. Introduction

This chapter describes the analyzer measuring principle, layout, and accessories, and the consumption material.

This chapter will provide you with general information. For detailed instructions and description, please refer to chapter ‘Operation’.

3.2. Intended use

Mispa i3 is an automated Cartridge based specific protein analyzer that offers the benefits of fully Auto analyzer, like high precision
and quick turnaround results, for all protein assays. It is for the protein determination and it supports the clinical management of
variety of disease, such as cardiovascular risk, inflammation, kidney disease and several other specific protein assays.

The Mispa i3 is an analyzer for biochemical in-vitro diagnostics. It must only be used and operated by trained personnel. Operating
the instrument for home testing is expressly forbidden.

The sample material is taken out of a closed sample tube and is pippeted into the sample cup collected in the cartridge. The water
containers for the system and waste solution collection bottle is located on the backside of the device, which are capped with
separately marked/colored stoppers including feeding hose.

It is advice that both containers must be replaced at the same time since they are adjusted to each other.

12 | P a g e
4.2. Mispa i3 offers the following features:

 Measurement of various parameters of human sample material (for an overview of the parameters, please contact the
manufacturer or authorized distributor).
 Dual channel system of Nephelometry and turbidimetry with high sensitivity and wide range.
 Automatic recognition of parameters using a barcode.
 Prefilled and sealed cartridges along with sample cell for specific test.

13 | P a g e
 4.3. Measuring Principle

Nephelometry is the technique for measuring the light scattering particles in the solution by means of the light intensity at an angle
away from the incident light passing through the sample

Turbidimetry is the measurement of light scattering in solution by means of a decrease in intensity of the incident beam after it has
passed through solution.

Mispa i3 uses both Nephelometry and Turbidimetry for analysis.

UCS Technology in Mispa i3 Ensures Best Sensitivity & High Linearity.
[Nephelometry Channel offers best sensitivity & Turbidimetry channel offers high linearity]

14 | P a g e
