1 Introduction to the system URISYS 2400
Description of the URISYS 2400 analyzer

The URISYS 2400 analyzer is a fully automated urinalysis system intended for
in vitro qualitative or semi-quantitative determination of urine analytes,
including pH, leukocytes, nitrite, protein, glucose, ketones, urobilinogen,
bilirubin, and erythrocytes. In addition, the analyzer determines specific
gravity, color, and clarity. The URISYS 2400 is intended for professional use
only.
The primary functions of the URISYS 2400 analyzer include:
o Sample identification
o Automatic dispensing of test strips
o Robotic pipetting of samples
o Controlled incubation period
o Photometric measurements
o Result memory
o Optional formats for data output
The URISYS 2400 analyzer uses the URISYS 2400 cassette containing 400 test
strips. Each test strip has ten individual test pads that are used to test for
different substances or characteristics. The test strips are analyzed as they
move automatically through the analyzer. One strip is used per sample. When
a strip is dispensed for use, an aliquot of the urine sample is pipetted onto
each of the test pads. The test results are based on the measurement of
reflected light intensity. The specific gravity, color, and clarity of each sample
are also measured.
Measuring principle
The URISYS 2400 is a fully automated reflectance photometer for in vitro
semi-quantitative measurements of urine test strips. The light sources (LED’s
[light-emitting diodes]) and reading times are optimized for the reaction
chemistry and color development that occur on the test pads.
The measuring head of the URISYS 2400 contains LED’s of three different
wavelengths. The test strip remains stationary at the measuring position as the
measuring head moves over each test pad. Measurement starts at the reference
plate, which is used to test the optical system.
The URISYS 2400 verifies that the test strip is properly positioned under the
measuring head, by measuring the reflected light. If a test strip is not properly
positioned under the measuring head, the URISYS 2400 displays a message.

Reflected light is measured electro-optically, and the process is illustrated in

the following figure.

B
Optical transmission Electronic transmission
Figure A-1 Process of measuring
A LED D Analog-to-digital converter
B Test pad E Microprocessor
C Photodiode detector F Concentration result
An LED (A) transmits light of a defined wavelength, at an optimum angle,

onto the surface of a test pad (B). The light hits the surface of the test pad and
is reflected with an intensity that is dependent on the color of the test pad.
A photodiode detector (C), positioned directly above the test pad, receives the
reflected light. The photodiode detector transmits an analog electrical signal
to the analog-to-digital converter (D), which changes the analog signal to a
digital value.
A microprocessor (E) adjusts the digital value, based on a value from an
internal reference plate. It converts the digital value to a relative value by using
a calibration standard scale. Then, the microprocessor calculates a reflectance
value.
The semi-quantitative concentration result (F) is determined by comparing
the reflectance value with the so-called range limits (parameter-specific
reflectance values stored in the analyzer). The full list of concentration range
values for all test parameters is shown in:
Table F-1 on page F-5
The results are stored in the memory and can be printed, saved to a diskette,
or sent to another computer.
Each of the three LED’s transmits light of a different wavelength. The use of
different wavelengths improves the results that are obtained from measuring
each of the test strip parameters. The wavelengths used to measure the
different parameters are listed in the table below.

Ketones 555
Urobilinogen 555
Bilirubin 555
Erythrocytes 555, 620
Color 470, 555, 620
Table A-1 Wavelengths used to measure the reflectance values
The photometric reflectance measurement for all of the test parameters is

performed after an incubation time of 60 seconds. As with previous urine
analyzers from Roche Diagnostics, compensation for intrinsic urinary color,
which is a recognized interfering factor, is made through the measurement of
a blank compensation pad on the test strip. The compensation pad assists in
the prevention of false positives when a urine sample is strongly colored.
The URISYS 2400 determines the urine color by evaluating the reflectance
values of all three measuring wavelengths (470 nm, 555 nm, and 620 nm) on
the compensation pad. Color results are reported as PALE YELLOW,
YELLOW, AMBER, BROWN, ORANGE, RED, GREEN, or OTHERS.
The measurement of specific gravity (SG) is performed in a flow cell that is
filled with a urine sample during aspiration of the sample. An LED (650 nm)
transmits light to the flow cell. A charge-coupled device (CCD) determines
the angle of total reflection. The refractive index of the sample is calculated
from the angle of total reflection using a calibration curve. Transformation
into the SG value is performed by a nomogram stored in the analyzer.
The flow cell that is used to measure specific gravity also determines the
clarity of the sample. However, light of a different LED is used to measure
clarity. This LED (660 nm) transmits light to the flow cell, and the amount of
light that passes through the flow cell is measured.
The system is blanked (zeroed) during the washing process, between sample
measurements, by setting the water transmission to 100%. The transmission
values of samples are transformed to clarity results (CLEAR, LIGHT TURBID
or TURBID), by using the clarity range table that is programmed in the
software of the URISYS 2400.
Roche Diagnostics
When a sample has been pipetted onto the test pads of a test strip, and the
specific gravity and clarity have been measured, the remaining urine is ejected
into the rinse station. The needle and the flow cell are washed with water
before the next sample is taken.

Status type Explanation
Stand-By The analyzer must always be in Stand-By status for

the processing of data, inputting of criteria, or
setting the parameters. The analyzer is idle in this
status.
Operation The analyzer processes samples in this status. This

status allows the operator to load additional samples
without interrupting sampling and measurement of
samples currently being processed.
Sampling Stop The status of the analyzer changes to Sampling Stop

when there are no more racks on the rack input line

Installation
Range table The operator can view the concentration ranges, reflectance values,
wavelengths and compensation data for each test parameter. The operator
gains access to the range and reflectance values by using the password that is
supplied with the analyzer.
Figure B-11 Screen showing Range Table settings and options
The wavelength data (W) that are displayed are fixed values. These values
cannot be changed.
The compensation data (C) designate factors for the compensation of the
intrinsic urine color, for example, 0 means no color compensations. Higher
numbers mean stronger compensation.
Changing ranges leads to result reports which differ from the default
concentration ranges as shown in:
Table F-1 on page F-5
Changing reflectance values leads to different evaluation sensitivities of the

respective test parameters. Lowering the reflectance value of the negative (NEG)
range leads to a decrease of the sensitivity of the test evaluation, and vice versa. In
this way, the sensitivity can be adjusted to the requirements of the individual
laboratory.
The correctness of results obtained after the user has altered the ranges or
reflectance values is not warranted by Roche Diagnostics. The user is responsible
for validating the consistency of results after changes have been made.
The concentration ranges and reflectance values can be reset to the default
values using the <Default> button.
Roche Diagnostics
Installation
a To change the range values
1 Press <Range Table> on the [Test Parameters] screen. The [Range Table]

10 Press <PgUp> to return to the [Range Table] screen.
o The screen allows for eight ranges to be set for each parameter. However, not all
of the ranges are used by the default settings.
o If ranges are changed for conventional concentration units, these changes are
not transferred to the SI concentration units memory, and vice versa. To be
consistent, corresponding changes must be made in both range tables. (See
Table F-1 on page F-5.)
a Using arbitrary units
If arbitrary units (1+, 2+, 3+) should be used instead of concentration values
or in addition to concentration values, proceed as follows:
1 Call up the [Set Range] screen.
3 Enter the arbitrary unit in the corresponding field and delete the
concentration value by pressing <Space> if you want to replace the
conventional or SI units.
4 Enter the arbitrary unit in the corresponding field without deleting the
concentration value if you want to used combined units, for example,
“2+ 25”.
If combined units are used for the parameter Glucose, the entry of “4+1000” is not
possible because of the limitation of 5 digits per field. Use “4+999” instead.

sequence number and is not yet occupied by sample results. The range end number
is the number of the next occupied sequence number minus five.
An example of the numbering 122 samples have been measured starting with Seq. No. 0001. The displayed
ranges would be as follows: Routine Seq. No. is 0123. No samples with higher sequence numbers have
been measured. In this case, an input range of 0123-0996 is displayed.
For example, the next occupied (measured) sequence number is 0001. Due to
the ring buffer structure of the result memory, this is equivalent to 1001. The
end of the input range is calculated as 1001 - 5 = 996. Input of 996 allows the
measurement of one additional rack with 5 samples before reaching the next
occupied sequence number. For alarm messages when reaching the next
occupied sequence number, see:
“Start analysis of samples” on page C-10
When using the “Overwrite Mode”, be aware that the sequence number will swap to
1 automatically after the sequence counter has reached 1000 (or 200 for STAT). In
this case, the instrument starts to overwrite results with sequence numbers starting
at 1 again.
If the “Input Area” is indicated as 0000 - 0000, delete the results of samples
with sequence numbers higher than the displayed Seq. No., (see “Delete
routine or STAT sample data” on page C-27). Otherwise, analysis of samples
cannot continue.

Sample preparation
Sample preparation
The analyzer processes urine (including control urine) samples.

Wear protective gloves when preparing samples and placing samples onto the
analyzer.
If the sample contacts the operator’s skin, wash the affected area immediately with
a large volume of water.
Analyze samples within two hours from the time that the urine samples were
obtained.
Do not expose samples to direct sunlight.
Do not add any preservatives to the samples.
Take care that sample material does not contain air bubbles or foam.
Preparation of sample racks and tubes

When preparing the samples for processing, use only Roche Diagnostics
5-position standard racks and recommended sample tubes with the
URISYS 2400 analyzer.
Different types of sample tubes can be used, but they must have the following
dimensions:
o 13-16 mm diameter
o 100-115 mm height
The types of sample tubes recommended for use with the analyzer include:
o Round-bottomed tubes
o Conical tubes
o KOVA tubes (Hycor Biomedical Inc.)
o Urine Monovette (Sarstedt)
If using KOVA-tubes, sample racks need to be equipped with “KOVA-spacers”.
If samples arrive in different containers, transfer them to recommended test tubes.

Use a minimum sample volume of 1.5 ml for round-bottomed tubes, and 2 ml for
conical, KOVA, and Monovette tubes.
If a syringe sample tube is used, for example Urine Monovette, ensure that the
plunger is at its lowest position. Otherwise, the sample probe may be
damaged.
Roche Diagnostics
Sample preparation
If the sample tubes are labeled with barcodes, ensure that the barcode labels
are correctly aligned with the barcode reader. For more information about the
specifications of usable barcodes and the placement of labels on sample tubes,
see:
“Barcode specifications” on page F-3
Loading the rack(s) onto the analyzer

It is possible to set a maximum of 15 racks on the input line at one time. There
are two ways of loading the racks onto the analyzer:
o Use a rack tray.
o Load directly onto the input line, without a rack tray.
Do not set the racks directly on the cross-feed line.
a To load racks using a rack tray

Calibration
Calibration
The operator can calibrate the photometer and the SG (specific gravity) meter
using the [User Calibration] screen.
Photometer calibration is based on the measurement of a calibration strip
with known reflectance specifications. This must only be performed using the
URISYS 2400 calibration strip manufactured by Roche Diagnostics.
Specific gravity calibration is based on the measurement of calibration
solutions of known refractive indices.
Calibration procedures are only possible when the analyzer is in Stand-By status.
Under routine conditions, calibrate the photometer and the SG meter every
four weeks.
Photometer calibration
The calibration values measured for each elevated area of the calibration strip
are compared with the previous user calibration values measured and the
factory calibration values.
If the calibration values are within ±2% of previous values, and within ±5% of
the factory values, “Calibration OK” is displayed on the [Photometer
Calibration] screen and the previous user calibration values are replaced.
If the calibration values differ by more than ±2% from previous values, or
more than ±5% from factory values, “Calibr. Failed” is displayed on the
[Photometer Calibration] screen and the calibration must be repeated.
Sample testing can only start when photometer calibration is successful. If

calibration failed after several attempts, contact Technical Support.
Handle and store the URISYS 2400 calibration strips according to the
instructions in the calibration strip package insert.
The calibration strip is made of grey plastic material of constant reflectance
characteristics. It has nine elevated areas on the upper side, and three feet on
the underside. The two outer feet fix the strip on the lateral sides of the TS

a difference in temperature between the sample and the flow cell. Therefore,
the temperature of the urine sample and the calibration solutions must always
be at room temperature.
a To prepare the calibration solutions
Use deionized water and reagent-grade NaCl to prepare the following

solutions, and place them in a rack:

The [Alarm monitor] screen displays up to four alarms.
When more than four messages are generated, press <Alarm Trace> on the
[Tools] screen to print the alarm codes and the times at which they occurred.
When the analyzer is switched on and in Stand-by status, any displayed alarm
must be checked, solved and cleared before next samples are processed.
If any errors have occurred during the setting of parameters, the message does
not appear until <Start> is pressed.
If the analyzer comes to an emergency stop due to an error, execute the reset
function on the [Maintenance] screen after resolving the alarm cause.
Alarm levels
The main alarm levels are WARNING, S.STOP, STOP, and E.STOP.
WARNING Although this warning is issued, the analyzer continues to measure samples.
After completion of the current sampling, check the alarm condition, and take
the action outlined.
S.STOP Only the sampling sequence is stopped. For samples in process, measurement
continues and the result data are generated. Check the alarm condition, take
the action outlined, and restart the operation.
STOP The analyzer stops at the end of its current, 15-second instrument cycle. For
samples in process, measurement, result data printing and host
communication stop immediately. Check the alarm condition, and take the
action outlined. Check the results for the last samples that were processed
before the alarm message appeared. Reset all samples that were processed but
not measured/ printed/ sent to host and repeat the processing of these
samples.
E.STOP The analyzer stops instantly (15-second instrument cycle is NOT finished).
For samples in process, measurement, result data printing and host
communication stop immediately. Check the alarm condition and take the
action outlined. Execute the reset function on the [Maintenance] screen after
resolving the alarm cause. Check the results for the last samples that were
processed before the alarm message appeared. Reset all samples that were
processed but not measured/ printed/ sent to host and repeat processing of
these samples.
