1-1-1 Features

The SPOTCHEM EL SE-1520 is an electrolyte measurement

system that uses a disposable ion selectivity electrode.
It is suitable for immediate tests performed in clinics and small
to large hospitals.

Simple and fast settings in ● The ion selectivity electrode enables

an emergency simultaneous measurement of basic
three items (Na＋, K＋, and Cl−).

● By adopting a pipette support structure

for the analyzer, pipetting to the
disposable electrode (exclusive plate) is
easy.

● Auto-start function starts measurement

just after exclusive plate setting and
pipetting with the twin pipette.

● By using the twin pipette II (trade name),

which continuously distributes reference
solution, sampling operation is not
needed each time, so measurements are
done more easily.

Compact design ● The size is as small as that of an A5

sized paper. The small unit contains
various components such as a display,
printer, measurement devices and flash
memory.

Up to 50 measurement ● A maximum of 50 measurement results

results can be stored. can be stored. Data is automatically
deleted from the oldest data when
stored data exceeds 50 samples.

Hand-held barcode reader ● A hand-held barcode reader can be used

can be used. (optional). Each read barcode data is
allocated ID as a measurement result.

Measurement is identified by the measurement number indicated as
“No. XXXX”, which is automatically updated. When power
is turned on measurement number is set at “No. 0001”
and it increases sequentially until the power is turned off.

depending on the result.

1-1-3 Measurement Principles

The SPOTCHEM EL SE-1520 adopts a potentiometry method of ion selective
membrane electrode as its principle, which provides measurement for various ion
concentrations in body fluid. The construction of the ion selective electrode used for
electrolyte measurement as follows.

Reference electrode Bridge Measurement electrode

Internal Ion-selective Reference Solution Sample Ion-selective Internal

electrode membrane solution junction membrane electrode
part

Er Ej Es

The identical structure of ion selective electrode is used for both reference electrode and
measurement electrode. When reference solution is measured with the reference electrode,
electric potential of reference electrode Er is obtained. Also, when the desired ion in
measurement solution is measured with the measurement electrode, electric potential of
measurement Es is obtained.
By setting up a solution junction part between the reference and measurement solutions,
measurement electric potential E is obtained between the reference electrode and
measurement electrode. There is a relation of Nernst equation between generated electric
potential and ion activity (ion concentration). Ion concentration is obtained by measuring
potential difference E.

1-4-4 Precautions in Instrument Relocation

Read the precautions below carefully and always be mindful

of safety when transporting the system.

●Turn off the power and disconnect the power cable before
transporting the system. Failure to do so may cause system
malfunction.

●When transporting the system, handle the system with both

hands and avoid exposing the system to impacts or
vibrations. Failure to do so may cause system malfunction.

●Remove the waste tray before transporting the system.

Accidental detachment of the waste tray or waste reagent
on the tray may cause pathogenic microbial contamination.

2-5 Calibration Chapter 2 Measurement

2-5-1 Overview

Calibration is necessary for maintaining measurement

accuracy. By performing calibration, the problems caused by
differences among lots are solved and measurement accuracy
is maintained.
Basically, calibration is performed for each exclusive plate
type using exclusive calibrators. However, it will take a long
time to perform calibration for all exclusive plates.
To reduce the time and trouble, this system performs
calibration by reading magnetic cards recording lot
information of each exclusive plate.
This method is called “Magnetic Card Calibration.”
Using this magnetic card calibration method, calibration is
performed by inserting the magnetic card attached to the
exclusive plate into the magnetic card reader.

2-5-2 Magnetic Card Calibration

Differences among lots of the exclusive plate are
automatically corrected by inserting the magnetic card
attached to the exclusive plate into the magnetic card reader.

IMPORTANT If the measurement is performed when the magnetic card calibration is not
performed correctly, errors occur and measurement may not start.
In this case, be sure to perform “ Magnetic Card Calibration.”

Wildcards can be used for ID search. Wildcards are two special
characters, "?" and "＊", indicating a single or any number of
characters.

● "?" indicates a single character.

● "＊" indicates any number (including zero) of characters.

For instance, if "????" is entered, 4-character IDs are searched. If "A＊"

is entered, IDs starting with "A" are searched. The following table
shows details.

Example1 ？？？？Ｍ 5-character ID ending with "M"
Example2 ＡＢ？ＹＺ 5-character ID starting with "AB" and ending with "YZ"
Example3 ＡＢ＊ＹＺ ID starting with "AB" and ending with "YZ"
Example4 ＊ＰＱＲ＊ ID including "PQR"
Example5 Ｎ？？？＊ ID of 4 characters or more starting with "N"
This function is upper/lower case sensitive.
"?" or "＊" itself cannot be searched for. (e,g,) if=?＊”is entered to
search IDs starting, with “?”, the attempt will fail.
More than four asterisks (＊)cannot be entered as a search pattern.

4-3-2 Cleaning the Probe

For probe cleaning, perform measurements with the check plate.

If an error occurs after the measurement, clean the probe according to the
following procedure.

1. Prepare the check plate.

Correctly insert the check plate so that the arrows on the check plate face
forward.

● Select [3. Check Meas] on the

4-3-3 Cleaning the Twin PipetteⅡ

1. Replacement of nozzle cap

● By using nozzle caps, precipitate from
reference solution adheres to the inside
of the nozzle caps. When a large
amount of precipitate from reference
solution is adhered to the inside of the
nozzle cap, remove the nozzle cap and
replace it with a new or clean nozzle cap.
Using a nozzle cap with a large amount
of precipitate from reference solution
adhered contaminates reference
solution and correct measurement
results can not be obtained.

2. Cleaning the nozzle cap

● When a large amount of precipitate
from reference solution is adhered to
the inside of the nozzle cap, wash the
inside of the nozzle cap with refine
water to remove the precipitate from
the reference solution. If the nozzle
cap is used again, Wipe out it with
tissue paper, etc and make sure that
the nozzle cap is dry before using.

3. Replacement of nozzle pipe

● The nozzle tip can be damaged
easily because the tip is thin. If
the nozzle tip bends, correct
pipetting becomes impossible.
When the nozzle tip bends,
remove the bushing and
replace the bent nozzle with a
spare nozzle pipe.

Maintenance when pipettes are not used for a long period

If a pipette is not used more than for one month, discard reference solution
in the syringe, dip the nozzle tip in distilled water and clean the syringe by
performing suction and drainage of water a few times. If the pipette is left
untouched without cleaning after it is used, precipitate from reference
solution blocks the nozzle or piston, which leads to system failure.

4-3-4 Replacement of Nozzle O-ring

The tip where the pipetting tip is attached has 2 nozzle O-ring.
Worn-out nozzle O-ring leads to incorrect sealing or sampling.
Replace nozzle O-ring (large and small) about once a year.

Replacement of nozzle O-ring

1. Cut and remove the attached

nozzle O-ring with a needle.
Do not injure the nozzle,
otherwize a correct data can
not be obtained.

2. Remove chips before insert new

nozzle O-ing for replacement.

Replace the two nozzle O-ring simultaneously.

Do NOT injure the nozzle, When cut the attached nozzle O-ring.
