displayed or the requested action is carried out, and rest of the “Touch Zone” is deactivated.
For Example:- To activate the selection.
•
To enter the ISI Index, touch any point in the shaded area “ISI Index” on the LCD screen. On
proper selection the analyser responds with blinking of the parameter text and also the TOUCH
ZONE and a submenu is displayed.
•
To enter Test Name: Touching the “Name ” touch zone provides a alphanumeric screen. Enter
the Test name by touching the Touch zone of that variable. The selected value blinks and is
displayed next to the parameter.
Selection Indicator:
Selected onscreen item is shown in a shaded background. When the screen first displays, the default

A) Internal Printer (Thermal Printer)
FOURCLOT comes with a built in 20 column Thermal Printer. User has to take proper
care to handle this delicate instrument.
TIPS FOR CAREFUL USAGE OF PRINTER
1) Do not pull the paper when loaded.
2) Lift the paper lever carefully and load the paper.
3) Keep the instrument clean and dust free.
FOURCLOT gives line feed automatically wherever it is necessary for clear reading like
a. While powering on
b. In between character lines
(Note: User may operate the instrument by disabling the printer from the utilities menu.)
ü How to insert the paper
Insert the thermal paper roll by placing the sensitive side facing down. The sensitive paper
side is recognizable by its smoother face.

B) External Printer (Optional)
Switch off the analyzer before connecting the printer.
Disconnect the small cable from the external printer port (Ref Diagram in 5.3) provided on
the rear of analyzer. User can then connect the external printer using the standard
communication cable to external printer port.
(Note : If an external printer is connected then the internal printer is disabled.)
6. Installation and start-up instructions
While installing and setting up the instrument, the safety warnings and general
precautions described in section 7 must be observed.
6.1. Placing the instrument
Place the instrument on a flat working surface or bench top capable of supporting the
weight of the instrument. A clearance of at least 3 inches around the instrument is
required to assure optimal ventilation. Room temperature should be between
18ºC and 35 ºC with a relative humidity below 85%. Protect it from direct sunshine and
maintain the instrument in a clean, relatively dust free environment to ensure maximum
performance.
6.2. Power supply
Once the instrument has been placed, plug it into a power source by using the locally
available approved plug-in cable. Power cord should be CE, CSA and UL marked
Voltage : 115 - 230 Volts ± 10%, 60- 50 Hz
6.3. Protective Grounding
Warning: Make sure that electrical power source is properly grounded.
6.4. Start up Instructions:
1) Switch on the instrument.
2) The instrument initializes all the parameters internally, and carries out a power on
self-test and then displays the following screen

7. PRECAUTIONS
v Keep the place dry and clean.
v Check all the grounding wires properly.
v Repeat the readings, if Absorbance is more than 2.0 A.
v Use original Packing for transportation.
v Use clean Cuvettes. Check the blank absorbance of the cuvette at regular intervals.
v Check the temperature of cuvette block at regular intervals.
v Check the linearity of the instrument at regular intervals using standards.
v Do not take any reading when the lid is open.
v Incubate the cuvettes at set temperature for at least 10 minutes before using.
v Incubate the reagents at set temperature for at least 10 minutes before using.
v Do not use any sharp objects on the Touch Screen. Always use the STYLUS
provided to operate the touch panel.

USER MANUAL
8.4. QUALITY CONTROL:
Quality Control is a process that checks an instrument or testing site to make sure it is reporting
accurate results on patients. The reproducibility of a result from a testing site or instrument should fall within a
certain range. Control solutions of known values are often times used for checking quality control. An institution
may choose how often control solutions are run depending on the accrediting body and test complexity the
analyte falls under. Levy Jennings charts are often used identify problems with QC results.
A levy Jennings chart is a graph that quality control data is plotted on to give a visual indication whether a
laboratory test is working well.
SD Standard Deviation: A measure of variability representing an average distance of the data from the mean.
The greater the standard deviation, the greater the difference between the individual determinations and the less
the precision of the method.

USER MANUAL
11. Decontamination
11.1. Decontamination Procedure
If the instrument is to be shipped after being exposed to potentially hazardous material, it should be
decontaminated. The following procedure outlines the method of decontaminating the instrument
before packaging and shipment.
11.2. Purpose of Decontamination
Decontamination minimizes the risk to all who come in contact with the instrument during shipping,
handling, and servicing.
11.3. General Considerations
Any laboratory instrument that has been used for clinical analysis is considered a biohazard and
should be decontaminated prior to handling. Intact skin is generally considered an effective barrier
against infectious Organisms; however, small abrasions and cuts may not be always be visible.
Prophylactic gloves must be worn when handling instruments that have not been decontaminated.
Gloved hands should be considered contaminated at all times and must be kept away from eyes,
mouth and nose at all times.
Mucous membranes are considered prime entry routes for infectious agents. Wear eye protection
and a surgical mask when there is a possibility of aerosols.
Eating and drinking while decontaminating instruments is not advisable.
11.4. Procedure
A solution of .5% Sodium Hypo Chlorite (NaOCL) solution (Bleach) is used. Commercial bleach is
5% NaOCL; household bleach is 3% NaOCL. When using commercial bleach, use a 10:1 mixture; if
using household bleach, a 6:1 mixture is required. This is a caustic solution. It is important to wear
gloves and eye protection when handling it.
Wipe down the carrier and all exposed surfaces of the unit with the bleach solution. Remove the top
shroud of the instrument and wipe down the top surface of the instrument base, as well as the inside
of the top shroud.
Reassemble the unit and discard the used gloves and towels.
