1.2 - Accessories kit
The Interrliner comes with an accessories kit. For a complete list of the the contents of accessories kit, see
Appendix - Article reference list Interrliner
1.3 - Sample unit
The analyser section is located in the center part of the Interrliner, the following three units:
1. Conveyor belt, running from the Start-Pool to the End-Pool.
2. Indexer unit initialize racks and reads the barcode of the present sample tubes.
3. Sample robot unit, mixes the sample tubes and places one sample tube in the sample tube adapter of
the ESR analyser.
1.3.1 - Conveyor belt section
The main conveyor belt runs the sample racks from the Start-pool to the End-Pool.
On the analyser unit rack pushers shifts the racks in and out of the Indexer unit.
On multiple systems, racks can pass other Indexer units while it is running, in order to be processed by
another ESR analyser unit.
NOTE:
Do not remove or add racks to the conveyor belt while the system is in operation!
Removing racks from positions other then the end pool's storage area will cause errors.
The conveyor belt is an open system; beware that no objects can drop on the conveyor belt.
1.3.2 - Front Return Line
Only applicable for Interrliner XN FRL
The tube handling of an Interrliner XN FRL version has the following configuration:
Tube handling and transport
▪ Indexer unit, initialising racks and reading the barcode of the sample tubes and sample racks.
▪ Sample robot unit, mixing the sample tubes and placing successively each sample tube on the ESR
analyser unit for aspiration.
▪ Conveyor belt, running from the Start pool.
▪ Front Return line, for transport of racks back to Sysmex HST - XN after sampling.
▪ Protection hood.
1.3.3 - End-pool section
Only applicable for Interrliner XN: The End-Pool transports the racks to an external device.
Instrument description
16 MRN-023-EN Version 8.20 Interrliner

1.4 - Indexer
** CAUTION MOVING PARTS **
The Indexer is a carriage that holds the rack and moves independently from the conveyor belt. The rack is
being checked for the presence of sample tubes and the barcode is being read.
If the barcode can not be read right away, a spring assisted tube rotator is pushed onto the tubes and turns
the sample tubes at the barcode reader position clock-wise and anti-clockwise until the barcode reader reads
a positive patient ID.
If the barcode is not readable the Interrliner will set the status for this tube to N (NO) and this tube will not
be processed! In all other cases the Interrliner will send an inquiry and wait for the host to receive a YES or
NO status for sampling.
Tubes with the status NO will not be processed by the analyser.
Note:
In order to read the barcode ID correctly, ensure that labels are located correctly on the sample tubes
and are firmly attached. The tube rotator turns in two directions, in case the label comes loose from
the sample tube.
1.4.1 - Indexer and Sample Robot
The Indexer receives the racks from the rack transport and initializes the sample unit.
After initialization of all the sample tubes the rack is being transferred to the sample robot and sample tubes
are mixed at a minimum of eight inversions.
A rotating arm will place one tube in the ESR analysers tube adapter. Processed racks are being transferred
back to conveyor belt.
Note: Adding, removing or changing the order of sample tubes while a rack has been transferred to
the Indexer unit will result in unpredictable errors.
1.4.2 - Sample robot
After reading the barcodes the sample rack moves towards the robotic arm, the arm moves forward and
picks up at least one tube (if present: three tubes).
The tube(s) are turned up side down up nine times. The robot places the tube(s) back in the rack, the rack
moves one position and the robotic arm picks up the next tubes.
The first tube is then placed in the sample tube adapter of the ESR analyser.
The analyser starts the aspirating procedure and in the meantime the robotic arm starts mixing the
remaining tubes.
When the aspirating cycle is finished, the tubes are placed back into the rack and the sequence starts all
over again.
As soon as the rack has been processed completely, it is moved to the conveyor belts shifting mechanism,
released to the conveyor belt and transported to the End-Pool.
Instrument description
MRN-023-EN Version 8.20 Interrliner 17

ATTENTION:
The quality of the barcode labels is of critical importance for the correct function of the sample robot.
Labels may not come loose or have “dog-ears”! Poor label quality cannot be compensated by
mechanical adjustments!
