SECTION 1
DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
The Separation Technology, Inc. (STI) HemataStat II™Microhematocrit System is a
small, lightweight centrifuge which provides a rapid and accurate microhematocrit
determination using capillary or venous blood samples. The HemataStat II is not
intended for use with materials other than blood.
The rotor will accommodate up to six standard 75mm capillary tubes. The device will
achieve specimen separation in only one minute.
For convenience and ease of use, the HemataStat II system also includes a built-in
automatictubereaderandaLCDthatdisplaysmessagestoguidetheoperatorthroughout
the testing procedure and then displays the test results.
An optional rechargeable battery pack is available to permit operation in remote locations

2.2 POWER SUPPLY
Use ONLY the power supply packaged with the HemataStat II. Verify that the
ON/OFF switch located on the top of the centrifuge is in the OFF " " position.

The lid will automatically open and the LCD will display the main menu.
2.3 OPTIONAL RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK
A. INSTALLATION
For complete portability, the HemataStat II will operate on a rechargeable
batterypack,whichcanbeorderedasanoption. Thebatterypackwillneedto
be installed in the device as described below and fullycharged before normal
operation.
1. Make certain the lid isclosed and locked andthe centrifuge isunplugged
from the electrical outlet. Lock the lid by firmly pressing down on the lid
tab.
2. Place the device upside down on a smooth,flat surfaceand on a cloth or
other protective material to prevent scratching the lid.
3. Locate the battery pack cover. Using a small head Phillips screwdriver,
remove the screws holding the battery pack cover in place. Retain the
screws. Remove the battery pack cover.
4. Connectthebatterypackplugintotheconnectorlocatedinsidethebattery
pack cavity. Put the connector inside the hole of the housing with the
connector release tab facing up. Position the battery pack inside the
compartment. Laythecablealongsidethebatterypacktoavoidcrimping.
5. Replace the battery pack cover and secure with the screws provided.
6. Plug in the HemataStat II and fully charge the battery pack.
B. CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
ThebatterypackisalwayschargingwhenevertheHemataStatIIispluggedinto
an electrical outlet. Since the battery pack cannot be overcharged, the device
may remain plugged in continuously without harm. Charge the battery pack
overnight (or an equivalent period of time). The percentage of remaining
battery pack capacity may be determined at any time by performing the
following procedure.

an indication that the battery packis beginning torun down.It will still be
possible to operate the device for a few spins but the operator should
recharge the battery pack soon. Once there is no longer sufficient
capacity to operate the instrument, it will fail to complete a cycle and the
message CHARGE BATTERY will be displayed.

THE INSIDE DIAMETER (ID) OF THE TUBES BEING USED MUST MATCH THE
SIZE DISPLAYED ON THE LCD (EITHER 0.5 OR 1.1MM) (SEE SECTION 3.2).
4.2 ROTOR LOADING AND BALANCING
FOR SMOOTHOPERATIONANDEXTENDEDLIFEOF THECENTRIFUGE,THE
ROTOR MUST ALWAYS BE BALANCED BEFORE THE SPIN CYCLE IS
INITIATED.
Install2,4or6tubeholdersintherotor. Thereshouldalwaysbeanevennumberof
tubeholdersintherotorandtheyshouldbeoppositeeachothertobalancetherotor.

8
When an even number of capillary tubes (2, 4 or 6) are centrifuged, balancing is
accomplished by placing the tubes on opposite sides of the rotor from one another
so that the weight is distributed equally. If an odd number of tubes (1,3 or 5) are
centrifuged, use an empty capillary tube to balance the rotor.
4.3 TUBE PREPARATION
A. Perform a capillary finger stick.
1. The patient should be seated comfortably. The patient’s hand should
be below the heart. It should be warm and relaxed with the fingers
straight but not tense. Warm the finger by moving the blood from the
base to the tip several times.
2. The puncture site should be on the fingertip of the middle finger or ring
finger. Ideally, there should not be a ring on the finger. The outer and
upper region of the fingertip, halfway between the center of the finger
pad and the edge of the fingernail, is the site of choice. Using the side
of the fingertip rather than the center of the fingertip hurts less and
provides more blood flow.
3. Clean the puncture site with an alcohol swab. Allow the area to dry
completely or wipe it off with a lint free wipe (such asgauze).
4. Using your thumb, lightlypress the finger from above the knuckle to the
tip to stimulate blood flow toward the puncture site.
5. While applying light pressure toward the puncture site, use the lancet.
B. Wipe off the first drop of blood. Fill a capillary tube ½ to ¾ full with blood. Let
the specimen flow down the tube until it is near the dry end. Then placeyour
finger over the top of the tube to stop the flow.
C. Insertthedryendverticallyintothesealant,pushingittothebottomofthetray.
Twist the tube when removing it from the sealant to prevent the sealing plug
from being extracted.
D. Repeat Step B. Gently tap the sealed end of the tube ona flatsurfaceto help
insure proper sealant contact in the tube.
E. Wipe off the prepared capillary tube.
F. Place the capillary tube carefully in the centrifuge tube holder with the sealant
end down. Do not force the tube; let it slide into the tube holder. All tube
positions are numbered on the rotor and can be used to record the position of
each patient specimen.
WHEN USING CAPILLARY TUBES WITH PAINTED FILLER BANDS DO NOT
FILL THE TUBES MORE THAN ¾ FULL. SEAL THE END OF THE TUBE
WITHOUT THE BAND.

ENSURE THAT THE SAMPLE IS WELL MIXED.
4.4 TUBE CENTRIFUGATION
With the tube holders and hematocrit tubes in place, lock the lid by firmly pressing
downonthelidtab. StarttheruncyclebypressingtheRUNbutton. Thecentrifuge
will not operate unless the lid is closed and properly locked. If the RUN button is
pressed without locking the lid, the message LOCK LIDwill appear on the LCD.
Do not lean on the instrument.
Duringtheperiodoftimewhenthemotorisaccelerating,atestnumberisdisplayed
on the LCD. This number is a count of the completed spin cycles. Within seconds
thecentrifugewillreachtheproperoperatingspeedandtherpmwillbedisplayedon
the LCD during the cycle. The LCD will display a countdown of time for the
remainder of the run cycle, and thedevice willstop automaticallyafter 60 seconds.
When the run cycle is completed, an automatic braking system will engage to
completely stop the rotor. An audible tone will indicate that the spin cycle is
complete and the automatic lid lock will disengage to allow the lid to be opened.
4.5 READING A CAPILLARY TUBE

appears in the LCD between the READ and SPIN messages.

In some instances, a line of red blood cells extending from the
RBCs/PLASMA interface through the PLASMA/AIR interface can be
observed. These fine lines of red blood cells are residuals from the

4.6 HEMATOCRIT DETERMINATION REMINDERS
TO ENSURE CORRECT RESULTS, BE SURE TO:
•Use only the size tube displayed on the LCD.
•Use only heparinized capillary tubes.
•Spin sample one time (60 seconds) ONLY.
•Read the tube within one minute after removing it from the rotor.
•Align vertical black line of the slider at the middle of the RBCs/PLASMA full
diagonal interface.
•Tubes spun in HemataStat must be read on the HemataStat.

5.1 USE OF HEMATOLOGY REFERENCE CONTROL
To insure proper daily performance of the HemataStat II, STI provides a
hematologyreferencecontrolcalledHemataChek™. Theproducthasanassayvalue
for the hematocrit test and is packaged in a variety of combinations of LOW,
NORMAL and HIGH (See Section 8).
The HemataStat II’s accuracy and the user’s technique can be confirmed by using
HemataChek hematology reference control.
HemataChekdoes not require refrigeration and features a 2 year expiration from
date of manufacture and a 31 day open vial stability. It provides hematocrit assay
values for all HemataStat centrifuges as well as for other microhematocrit
centrifuges.
WHEN USING HEMATACHEK:
Step 1 Ensure bottle cap is tightly closed.
Step 2 Vigorously tap the bottle against the palm of yourfree hand. Assoon as
the plastic mixing bead can be heard, continue to tap the bottle for one
minute.
Step 3 After mixingone minute, look throughthe bottom ofthe bottle. If a clump
of unmixed control material can still be seen, repeat Steps 1 and 2.
Step 4 Use this mixing technique each time before filling capillary tubes.

6.2 TUBE HOLDERS
Cleaning the tube holders isnot recommended. Should a capillary tube break ora
sealant blowout occur, simply discard the affected tube and tube holder in
accordance with proper laboratory procedures and replacewith a newtube holder.
Inspect tube holders regularly and replace them when they become dirty and/or
contaminated. Replacement tube holders are available (See Section 8).
