Intended Use
The Pima Analyser is a portable bench-top xed volume cytometer used for
the processing and analysis of a Pima CD4 test cartridge.
For in vitro diagnosc use. Designed to perform in a laboratory as well as in
non-laboratory environments, the Pima Analyser can be operated on external
power or by using an on-board rechargeable baery.
The Pima Analyser requires no maintenance.
Test Principle
The Pima test consists of a disposable Pima test cartridge, containing dried
reagents, and the Pima Analyser. A low sample volume of approx.
25 microliters (µL) of capillary or venous whole blood is collected into the test
cartridge, which is then capped.
The Pima test cartridge is inserted into the Pima Analyser and the sample
sealed within the cartridge is processed. During the course of test processing,
data is recorded, analyzed and interpreted using soware embedded in the
Pima Analyser.
Upon compleon of the test the cartridge is removed from the Pima Analyser
and a test result is displayed.
Data Handling
The Pima Analyser provides for data entry (Operator ID, Sample ID),
archiving and connecvity to printers and data storage media.
All results are saved in an on-board archive and may be retrieved and
downloaded by the operator at any me aer the test.
A Pima Test Report may also be printed using an aached external USB Printer.

Unpacking, Installaon & Transport
Unpack the Pima Analyser and place safely on a clean, at, level and stable
surface. Do not put the Pima Analyser on surfaces that may vibrate, e.g. the
top of a freezer or refrigerator or next to a laboratory centrifuge.
Inspect for any obvious sign of damage. Report any damage immediately to
your local distributor. Allow temperature equilibraon for at least 30 minutes
to ensure that the Pima Analyser has reached surrounding temperature.
When using the Pima Bag for transportaon, take out the Pima Analyser and
place safely on a clean, at, level and stable surface for tesng.
If the Pima Analyser was transported or moved to areas with dierent climac
condions, allow temperature equilibraon for at least 30 minutes.
Note: Keep the original Pima Analyser box in case the instrument needs to
be shipped for repair or the like.
Pima Analyser Calibraon
The Pima Analyser is factory calibrated and does not require any further
calibraon and vericaon operaons. However, a daily performance check
using Pima Bead Standard is recommended. If the Pima Analyser was
transported or moved, a test with the Pima Bead Standard may be run to ensure
proper funconality. Please refer to the Pima Bead Standard User Guide
(UG-PIMA-03) for more informaon on this product.
Pima Analyser Recharging Intervals during Storage
During long term storage below 30 °C, the Pima Analyser should be connected
to mains A/C power and the baery recharged overnight at least once per
year. During long term storage at 30 - 40 °C the baery needs to be recharged
at least once every 6 months. If long term storage temperatures exceed 40 °C,
the recharge intervals may need to be considerably shorter.
Note: It is not recommended to store the Pima Analyser with an empty
baery. Therefore, always recharge the baery before long term
storage.
