1 Introduction Thank you for choosing the HemoCue Hb 201 DM system. The HemoCue Hb 201 DM system is a compact, portable, yet versatile, hemoglobin measuring system. It is ideally suited for health care facilities that require central lab quality values within a few minutes, at the point of care location. The System consists of the HemoCue Hb 201 DM Analyzer, the HemoCue 201 DM Docking Station and the HemoCue Hb 201 Microcuvettes. This Manual contains step-by-step instructions for the routine use of the HemoCue Hb 201 DM Analyzer. For configuration of the Analyzer and set-up of the System, consult the HemoCue 201 DM Reference Manual. Installation of HemoCue DM Docking Station has been described in HemoCue 201 DM Docking Station Manual. The HemoCue Hb 201 DM system complies with the IVD Medical Device Directive 98/79/ EC and carries the CE mark.

Read and follow this operating manual and the HemoCue Hb 201 Microcuvettes package insert to attain optimum performance and safety. Any other use of the system than recommended by the manufacturer may impair the safety. Usage Disclaimer The HemoCue Hb 201 DM system has flexible settings to meet different user needs. The setting options are configured in the settings menu, requiring a pin code. The selected settings are the responsibility of the local administrator. HemoCue AB does not take responsibility for user configurations that may cause system conflicts, loss of data or prevent the end-user to perform tests.

Never try to lift the Analyzer out of the Docking Station or press the Analyzer downwards into the Docking Station. This may damage the casing and power outlets of the Analyzer and/or the Docking Station. Remove the Analyzer if there is no communication between the Analyzer and the Docking Station and then re-dock the Analyzer in the Docking Station. 1

2 General operations This chapter describes the general operations necessary for Analyzer use.

2.1 Getting started – Analyzer Always follow the operating and storage conditions listed under section Technical Specifications. Allow the Analyzer to reach operating temperature before use.

2.1.1 Power source The Analyzer can be powered either by the rechargeable Battery or by a standard electrical outlet via the Power Adapter.

Recharging the Battery

1

FIGURE 2-1

The rechargeable Battery (1) is located in a battery compartment on the bottom of the Analyzer. a) Recharge the Battery (1) by connecting the Power Adapter to the Analyzer or by placing the Analyzer in the Docking Station that is connected to the Power Adapter. New Battery will take longer to charge the first 2 to 3 times. 1

1 2

FIGURE 2-2

Only the HemoCue 201 DM Battery can be used in the Analyzer. Lithium-ion battery. Never try to open the battery casing. Risk of explosion. The Battery lasts for several years. It should be replaced when it fails to retain its charge for an acceptable period. Replace it when the capacity to hold a charge starts to deteriorate quickly. a) To remove the Battery (1), press the Flap (2). Carefully loosen the Battery (1) and lift it upwards. b) To install the new Battery (3), place it in the Analyzer and gently press downwards until the Flap (4) snaps into the locked position. Consult local environmental authorities for proper disposal. 1 2 3 4

2.1.3 Power saver mode When no procedures have been performed within the time predefined in the Analyzer settings, the Analyzer will switch to power save mode. If the Analyzer is powered via the Power Adapter, the user will be logged off, the image on the display will disappear, but the power will remain on. Touch the Display to reactivate it. If the Analyzer is powered via the Battery, the user will be logged off and the Analyzer will be switched off. Press the On/Off button to reactivate it.

2.1.4 Turning the Analyzer off FIGURE 2-5

Make sure not to turn off the Analyzer in the middle of a procedure as data may be lost.
