1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Operation Manual is provided to guide the user in all aspects of unit set-up, operational
use, and user-level maintenance of the QuickSlide
TM
HemaPRO Automated Hematology
stainer unit.
The HemaPRO microscope slide stainer is capable of automatically performing a
hematology stain (Wright Giemsa) sequence on a slide containing a biological specimen for
in vitro diagnostic use. This instrument accepts standard thickness 1”x3”x1mm glass slides
that are frosted and pre-cleaned.
Two settings are programmed – a setting for blood smears and a setting for bone marrow
smears – with specific stain durations that are customizable for each. A cuvette holds one
slide at a time. The chamber is sequentially filled with stain, buffer, and rinse by use of
peristaltic pumps under the front cover. After staining and rinsing have been completed, the
slide quality is best when promptly removed from the cuvette and dried.
Operator Responsibility – Safety Instructions
The HemaPRO ensures safe operation when installed, operated, and maintained according
to common safety regulations. This section explains the potential dangers that may arise
when operating the HemaPRO.
It is the operator’s responsibility to be properly qualified to operate the HemaPRO. The
operator and laboratory personnel are advised to refer to this Operating Manual and the set-
up letter that is packaged with the unit.
In addition, the operator must be familiar with good laboratory practices and safety
precautions when processing specimens with potential blood borne pathogens.

2.0 WORK AREA REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT!
The HemaPRO unit requires a level counter top surface of 12 inches wide by 11 inches
deep with a vertical height of 10.5 inches. The Reagent Supply Kit should be positioned at
the same level as the instrument on the counter immediately beside or behind the
instrument and is connected with tubing. Do not place reagents above or below the
instrument.
The HemaPRO has one tube that drains all of the waste fluids. The HemaPRO drain tube
should be placed into a waste container or in a drain according to your local city and county
regulations.
The HemaPRO uses an external power supply module that is be supplied with 50-60 Hz,
100-240V, 0.8 A. This unit requires power from a grounded outlet.
The HemaPRO is assembled with tubing sets to connect the instrument to the reagents.
Place the correct cannulas (opaque rigid tubes) into the corresponding reagent supply
containers. Labels attached to the cannula lines indicate which reagent is to be used with
each line.
In addition, the reagent module cord supplied with the reagent kit must to be plugged into
the right side of the machine in order to use a new reagent kit.
3.0 RECEIVING AND UNPACKING
Unpacking and set-up assistance for the HemaPRO may be obtained by calling the
Technical Service Department of QuickSlideTM at [phone] (option 2) during the hours

4.1 General Information
The HemaPRO offers consistent results by systematically staining, buffering, and rinsing
the provided biological specimen. It is critical for the success of this automated process
that these unique reagents are obtained from QuickSlide™.
NOTE: For quality control purposes, Reagent Supply Kits are labeled with a Kit Number,
Lot Number, and Expiration Date. These values are used to track and identify the
Reagent Supply Kit used in the unit. The machine tracks the number of stain cycles that
a reagent kit performs through the reagent kit module that is included with each reagent
kit. Be sure to plug the module into the right side of the machine with each new
reagent kit.
4.2 Ordering Information
The HemaPRO reagent module regulates the consumption of the Reagent Supply Kit.
When starting each stain cycle, the system displays a count of the remaining number of
stain cycles available in the current kit. The remaining count should be carefully
monitored so that fresh reagents may be ordered and available when needed. Call
Hardy Diagnostics Customer Serviceat 800-266-2222 (option 1) to order supplies.
4.3 Reagent Kit Installation
The HemaPRO reagents are supplied to the unit through cannulas connected to the
individual reagent containers. Each tube cannula is clearly labeled, and must be inserted
into the correct reagent container. The waste tube should be placed in awaste container
or in a drain according to your local city and county regulations. Use care to ensure each
line is properly connected before powering on the HemaPRO unit.

5.2 Specimen Slide Preparation
5.2.1 Blood Specimen (1)
For a blood smear use a clean slide with a frosted end (Cat. no. PF72P). Fill a
disposable pipette at least ¾ full with well-mixed blood. Place a drop of blood
approximately 4 mm in diameter on the slide, approximately 0.5 cm from the
frosted area.
Pick up a second clean slide; this will be used as the spreader slide. Do not
touch the spreading edge (short, non-frosted edge) with your hands. Place the
spreading end of the spreader slide at a 30-40 degree angle on the slide in front
of the blood droplet. The entire short edge of the spreader slide should be in
complete even contact with the lower slide. Using your other hand, pin the lower
slide to the countertop to prevent it moving. In one smooth motion, draw the
spreader slide back through the entire drop of blood. Once the blood spreads
along the edge of the spreader slide, push the blood forward along the length of
the lower slide. The blood should run out before reaching the end of the slide.
This will produce the “feathered edge” and a mono-layer of blood cells on the
slide. The smear should extend no more than ¾ along the length of the slide.
5.2.2 Bone Marrow Specimen (2)
Bone marrow smears should be prepared immediately following aspiration. The
aspirate should be expelled into a small plastic or siliconized glass dish. Use a
Pasteur pipette to pick up the spicules. Then place one drop 0.5cm from the
frosted end of the slide. Place another glass microscope slide in front of the
specimen at an angle of approximately 30 degrees. Pull the spreader slide back
to make contact with the specimen, and then push the spreader forward in a
smooth action, in contact with the slide as described in section 5.2.1 above.
5.2.3 Methanol Fixation (Highly Recommended for Bone Marrow Specimen)
Fixing the specimen causes the cells to adhere to the glass slide to make
possible the subsequent rinsing of the smear with water without the significant
loss of cells. This can be accomplished by methanol fixation. For best results, it is
required that the methanol method be used, rather than heat, since it is superior
in preventing lysis, distortion, or damage to the cells in clinical material. Red
blood cells and white blood cells will not be harmed, whereas heat may distort or
disrupt the cells.
5.2.4 Methanol Fixation Procedure: Air-dry the specimen. If the heat block must be
for over an hour, it is extremely important that the specimen does not get
damaged by excessive heat. Once fully dried, fix by submerging the slide in the
Coplin jar filled with methanol for 30 seconds. Please ensure that the methanol
covers the whole smear. Drain off remaining methanol without rinsing by tapping
the bottom edge of the slide to a paper towel and allow the slide to air dry. Do not
apply heat after the methanol dries.
NOTE: Because the slide preparation technique can vary from institution to
institution and technique is not always controllable (i.e., differences in smear
thickness, fixation techniques, drying time, specimen adherence to different types
and brands of slides, etc.). Rare instances of carryover of specimen from slide to
slide can occur. The chance of this can be minimized by carefully following the
instructions in this manual.

8.0 HEMAPRO USER MAINTENANCE
8.1 Tube Kit Replacement
The orange pump tubes and the clear lines with color coded cannulas must be
replaced every six months to ensure the HemaPRO is operating under optimal
conditions.
8.1.1 Empty the waste container. Be sure the line labeled “Waste” remains in the
waste container after it has been emptied.
8.1.2 Remove the three reagent cannulas labeled “Stain”, “Buffer”, and “Rinse” from
the stain bottles and place them all into the empty waste container.
8.1.3 Run two prime cycles while these cannulas are in an empty waste container in
order to purge all of the fluid from the old cannulas.
NOTE: The three reagent cannulas should not touch the bottom of the container, as
they may pull back in the fluid that was just expelled from the waste line.
8.1.4 Power the instrument off.
8.1.5 Unscrew the two thumbscrews holding the front panel pump cover in place. This
will expose the four pump tube rollers, the orange pump tubes, and the reagent/waste
lines.


Rev. 050418vr HemaPRO User Manual Page 17 of 23
8.1.6 Remove the orange pump tubes off of each roller.
8.1.7 Starting from the left (“Rinse” Pump #1 above) pull the bottom “T” of the orange
pump tube so that it is free of the black rack that holds the pump tubes in place. You
will need to cut any zip-ties that are holding the clear tubing together.
8.1.8 Using a hemostat or forceps (tweezers), wiggle the clear lines down from where
they connect to the base of the cuvette chamber to completely remove the tube kit
from the machine.
Removal of the cannulas can be difficult. Pull the tubes off of the cuvette using a hemostat or
forceps. DO NOT use a lubricant to remove or replace cannula tubing. This will cause a poor
seal to occur and could cause leakage from the tubes during the staining process.
8.1.9 Replace the tube sets one at a time, starting from left to right. The longest lines
for each reagent are to be positioned on the left side of the orange pump tubes, and
the shorter lines on the right side of the pump tubes. Pull the shorter tube of each line
through the hole and connect to the correct metal connector at the base of the cuvette.
Refer to the image above for clarification.
8.1.10 After installation, you may use the provided zip ties to maintain good
tubing/cable management, so the tubing does not get in the way of the pumps. Power
the instrument on as explained in Section 5.3.6 - 5.3.7 followed by Section 8.2 below.
8.2 Setting Fill Levels
The fill levels for this machine are intended to be set for a standard 1”x3”x1mm glass
slide. We recommend Cat. No.6776214.The fill levels can be customized to fit the
operator’s preferences. We recommend a fill level reset after each new tubing kit
installation.
IMPORTANT
Fill levels set without a 1”x3”x2mm slide inserted in the cuvette during programing will result
in incorrect fill levels. This will lead to overflow of the reagents onto the operating area. This
can lead to possible damage of the unit’s surroundings.
8.2.1 Ensure the unit has been primed twice, as explained in Section 5.3.7 before
resetting fill levels.


Rev. 050418vr HemaPRO User Manual Page 18 of 23
8.2.2 Once the unit is primed, power the instrument off.
