 CHAPTER 1 Introduction

1. Introduction
• The Sysmex XS-1000i and XS-800i are automated hematology analyzers for in vitro
diagnostic use in screening patient populations found in clinical laboratories. The
XS-1000i and XS-800i can analyze and output the results of 24 (for Europe, or 21
for Americas) parameters of a blood sample.
• The Sysmex XS-1000i and XS-800i perform analysis of WBC and differential with
an optical detector block based on the flow cytometry method, using a
semiconductor laser. The RBC’s and platelets are analyzed by the RBC detector
using the Hydro Dynamic Focusing method. Analysis data is displayed on the
Information Processing Unit (IPU). Hemoglobin (HGB) is analyzed by the HGB
detector based on the SLS hemoglobin detection method.

• The screens shown in these instructions are XS-1000i screens. On the XS-800i
screens, XS-800i is displayed for the instrument name at the top left of the screen,
and for the Main Unit model name at the lower left. Any other differences will be
described in detail on each occasion. Analysis parameters and principles are the
same for the XS-1000i and the XS-800i.

• The XS-1000i and XS-800i are compact instruments, and their operations are easy
to learn. For each operating step, online help is available for support. Quality control
material is used to monitor the performance of the analyzer over time.
• The XS-1000i and XS-800i are equipped with a rinse cup to provide automatic
cleaning of the sample probe after sample or control blood aspiration. It is not
necessary to wipe the sample probe.
• Sysmex instrumentation generates minimal noise. To ensure quiet laboratory
operations during non-operating, the compressor can be switched off.
• Using individual settings, the user can adapt the instrument to their needs or
existing laboratory conditions.
• Before operating XS-1000i and XS-800i, read this manual carefully. Pay special
attention to the safety information. Keep this manual for future reference.

• For further information, please contact the Sysmex representative in your country.

Note:
• Data generated by the XS-1000i and XS-800i is not intended to replace
professional judgment in the determination of a diagnosis or in monitoring
patient therapy.
• Operate the instrument as instructed. Reliability of test results cannot be
guaranteed if there are any deviations from the instructions in this manual. If the
instrument fails to function properly as a result of either the user’s operation not
specified in the manual or the user’s utilization of a program not specified by
Sysmex, the product warranty would not apply.

6.1 IP messages

The IPU, displays and prints hematology information in a format designed to aid in the
separation of POSITIVE and NEGATIVE data results.
All analyzed samples without analysis errors can be separated into a POSITIVE or
NEGATIVE category according to preset criteria. The system bases its judgments on
comprehensive surveys of numerical data, particle size distributions, scattergrams,
and provides easy-to-understand flags/messages indicating the instrument’s findings.
These flags/messages are referred to as "IP (Interpretive Program) messages."

POSITIVE (red backlight) A POSITIVE result indicates that the sample is judged
abnormal according to preset criteria for analysis,
numerical values and cell morphology. (Abnormal)
NEGATIVE (green backlight) A NEGATIVE result indicates that the sample is
normal, i.e. has no analysis errors nor IP messages.
(Normal)

This system categorizes and flags POSITIVE results as "DIFF Abnormal", "MORPH
Abnormal", and/or "COUNT Abnormal" during WBC, RBC, and PLT analysis. These
flags appear when abnormal cell populations are detected during computer analysis of
the particle size distributions, scattergrams, and 24 parameters.

DIFF Abnormal Indicates abnormality in the WBC differential parameters.

MORPH Abnormal Indicates abnormal cell morphology.
COUNT Abnormal Indicates abnormality in the blood cell numerical count.

These sub-categories (DIFF Abnormal, MORPH Abnormal, and COUNT Abnormal)

Revised February 2006

appear when the field of the POSITIVE flag is double-clicked.

Sysmex XS-1000i/XS-800i User's Guide 6-1

CHAPTER 6 Appendix

The IP Message displays either an Abnormal IP Message or Suspect IP Message

whenever there is an abnormality relating to the WBC, RBC, or PLT tests.

Abnormal IP messages
Indicates that the sample is definitely abnormal. The IP abnormal message
criteria can be set except for some items.
Suspect IP messages
Indicates that there is a possibility that the sample is abnormal.

Important!
Abnormal and suspect IP Messages are intended for use only in the clinical
laboratory and are not for patient diagnosis. The purpose of the IP Message is to
inform the operator of the possibility of sample abnormality, so special measures
or further analysis can be undertaken.
(Additional information) It is recommended to check the data and perform review
(re-analysis or close examination.)

The IP Message is displayed on the Data Browser screen, Graph screen, WBC
screen, RBC screen, Research (WBC) screen, and Research (RBC) screen flag(s)
area.
The IP Message categories are as follows:

Main Screen: WBC, RBC and PLT

The IP Message Judgment Details

1. During normal Analysis

The IP Messages will not be displayed in the following cases:
• Quality Control Analysis Data
• Calibration Analysis Data
• Background Check Data
• Blank Data

When WBC < 0.5 × 103/µL, no WBC Suspect Message will be generated.
When RBC < 0.5 × 106/µL, no messages other than the "RBC Abn. Distrib." will be
generated.
When PLT is "----," no PLT IP messages will be generated.

If errors prevent the parameters necessary for judgment from being calculated, the IP
Messages will not appear (i.e. parameters are marked with "----" and "++++").

2. For Capillary Analysis

In addition to the conditions of normal analysis, all available parameter data is used for
judgment.
Some of the RBC- and PLT- IP Messages are not judged. Refer to “4. Description of IP
Messages” for details.
Performs only POSITIVE judgement, not NEGATIVE judgement.

3. For Discrete Analysis

6.2 ID barcode specification

By affixing the bar code label on the sample tube, the sample ID number can be read
automatically. Information taken from the ID number can also be corrected by
processing stored data.
In using a bar code, make sure it meets the bar code label specifications applicable to
XS-1000i/XS-800i ID bar code reader.
This section explains the barcode label specification.

1. Acceptable Bar Codes

The types of bar codes acceptable to the instrument and the check digit(s) are listed
below.

Warning!
Use the check-digit as much as possible when using sample barcodes.
If the check-digit cannot be used, the potential of the incorrect reading of the bar
code label may be increased.

 CHAPTER 6 Appendix

Note:
*: As the Start/Stop code for NW-7, use one of the characters "A", "B," "C," "a,"
"b," or "c."

Rack ID No.
Type of Bar Code Check Digit No. of Digits
NW-7 Modulus-16 6 digits (Rack No.) + 1 digit (Check Digit) = 7 digits
CODE 39 Modulus-43 6 digits (Rack No.) + 1 digit (Check Digit) = 7 digits

Important!
As the Start/Stop code, use either "D" or "d."

QC
Type of Bar Code Check Digit No. of Digits
3 digits (Fixed character string "QC-") +
CODE 128 Modulus-103 8 digits (Lot No.)
+ 1 digit (Check Digit) = 12 digits

For CODE 128, it is handled as a Lot No.

Important!
The bar code of CODE 128 for quality control is a special code used for the control
blood of Sysmex.

2. Dimension of Bar Code Elements

Narrow Element ≥ 190 µm

Wide Element ≤ 1.2 mm
Narrow Element ≤ Gap between characters ≤ Wide Element

3. Narrow/Wide Ratio

For each character, the wide element to narrow element ratio must comply with the
Revised February 2006

following:
Narrow (MAX) : Wide (MIN) = 1 : 2.2 or more
Narrow (MIN) : Narrow (MAX) = 1 : 1.3 or less
Wide (MIN) : Wide (MAX) = 1 : 1.4 or less

Sysmex XS-1000i/XS-800i User's Guide 6-9

CHAPTER 6 Appendix

4. PCS (Print Contrast Signal)

Reflectance of the light background - Reflectance of the dark bars

PCS=
Reflectance of the light background

The measuring method conforms to JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) × 0501, "5.3
Optical Characteristic of Bar Code Symbols."
Standard: PCS value ≥ 0.45

5. Reflection Characteristics of the Label Surface

It is possible that a laminated label cannot be read.

6. Irregularity and Roughness of Printing

When a bar element is magnified, the following

may be observed.
MAX
When the variation coefficient (S) in the width of a MIN
bar is defined:

MAX – MIN
S = ------------------------------- × 100 % Bar element
MAX

Then the variation coefficient (S) must be less than

or equal to 20%.

7. Dimensions of Bar Code Label

Space: 2.5 mm or more

(Normally, at least 5 mm or
both right and left.)
Bar Code Effective Length: Bar Height

48 mm or less
(Optimum: 40 mm or less) Bar Code of
Space Effective Length Space
Bar Height: 20 mm or more (Rack label
height: 6 mm or more)

8. Check Digit

To improve the reliability of an ID No. read, check digit(s) should be added.

Taking the Sample ID No. of "258416" as an example, let us explain how to calculate
the check digit for modulus 11 and weighted modulus 11.
Revised February 2006

1) Modulus-11
1. Weighing Each Digit
The weight corresponding to each digit is as follow.

6-10 Sysmex XS-1000i/XS-800i User's Guide

 CHAPTER 6 Appendix

Digit 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Weight 6 5 4 3 2 1 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2

2. Add up the multiplied results as given below:

S = 14 + 30 + 40 + 16 + 3 + 12 = 115
3. When the S is divided by 11, calculate the remainder and obtain the complement
of the remainder. This complement will be the check digit.
115/11= 10 with remainder 5
11 – 5 = 6, thus the check digit is 6.
However, all English symbols except the numerals of 0 - 9 are regarded as 0 in
calculations. Also, when S is divisible by 11 with remainder 0 and when calculation
of the check digit results in 10, zero is entered as the check digit.

2) Weighted-Modulus-11
Weighted modulus 11 has two sets of weight. First, check digit is calculated with
the first set of the weight. When the check digit is computed to 10 as a result of
applying the first weight set, the second weight set is applied. The result should
always be one of the 0 to 9 values. Calculation method is entirely the same as
modulus 11 except for difference in weighting.
1. Weighing Each Digit

Weight: W12 W11 W10 W9 W8 W7 W6 W5 W4 W3 W2 W1

First Set: 6 3 5 9 10 7 8 4 5 3 6 2
Second Set 5 8 6 2 10 4 3 7 6 8 5 9

2 5 8 4 1 6
× × × × × ×
Weight 8 4 5 3 6 2
16 20 40 12 6 12

2. Add up the multiplied results as given below:

S = 16 + 20 + 40 + 12 + 6 + 12 = 106
3. When the S is divided by 11, calculate the remainder and obtain the complement
of the remainder. This complement will be the check digit.
106/11= 9 with remainder 7
11 – 7 = 4, thus the check digit is 4.
However, all English symbols except the numerals of 0 - 9 are regarded as 0 in
calculations.
Also, when S is divisible by 11 with remainder 0 and when calculation of the check
digit results in 0, zero is entered as the check digit.
Revised February 2006

Note:
For Weighted Modulus 11, weight for the 13th, 14th and 15th digits are assumed 0.
