Medical
Technologist
Verification of final clinical results to be accurate and precise are determined
by Medical Technologist

Clinical decisions are not solely made on the test result, but in conjunction
with the patient’s history and symptoms

Software alerts, QC reviews, calibration must all be within stated limits
before results are released

Troubleshooting instrument problems result in production delays, are costly
and non-productive activities that must be performed and documented
➙ Try to avoid diagnostic instrument service because it is expensive

Water Quality
Water
Quality

Quality results are dependent upon reliable instrumentation and known
water quality

Analytical factors need to be controlled and optimized to reduce the number
of test failures, failed calibrations, and high blanks that can contribute to
erroneous patient results

Maintenance of high purity water system is essential to reliable results
-Heal Force leads you to healthier life-

Understanding Water Quality and Methodology

Water should be considered a bulk reagent on any analyzer




Water
Quality
The high purity water system is a separate unit, not monitored by
diagnostic software on the clinical analyzer
The unique properties of water if not processed and monitored can
produce subtle changes in assay methods
These changes in water quality can lead to erratic and inconsistent results
The quality of water required or its impact on the testing method is
often not considered until the purchase is complete

Diagnostic Dilemma

Smaller sample size and reaction vessel are subjected
Diagnostic
Instruments
Water
Quality
to harsher environment

Inevitable build-up of biofilm in instruments, manifolds and tubing require
more frequent decontaminations
but
Less and less time available for maintenance of the instruments

Some sensitive assays can become contaminated with bacteria and ions

Bacteria release enzymes and ions whose behavior is similar to the enzymes
targeted in the assay method
➙ Increased need to monitor water quality as closely as any other
instrument malfunction

New Standards released July 2006 (C3-A4 Vol. 26 No. 22)

Nomenclature Type I,II,III has been replaced with purity types that provide
more meaningful parameters


CLRW (Clinical Laboratory reagent Water) replaces Type I,II for most applications

IFW (Instrument Feed Water) allows instrument manufacturers to clarify specifications for
their particular methods

SRW ( Special Reagent Water) may be specified for specific applications when additional
parameter are needed to insure water quality

Autoclave and wash water will meet the requirements of previously classified Type III
Complete review of the document should be done when considering new
applications to insure the contaminants found in the source water do not
become an issue

Protecting the Water Purification Unit:
Pretreatment cartridge

Due to the difference in water quality around the
world, additional pretreatment cartridges are
required.

The cartridges provide protection and insure good
performance of the reverse osmosis membrane

The pretreatment packs include 5 micron filter (1)
to remove particles and activated carbon (2) to

Storage

CLRW water with a resistivity >10 megohm-cm cannot be stored
because ionic and organic contamination will leach from the
atmosphere and container materials in which it is stored.

CLRW water should be used as it is produced

Stored water is never as pure as when it is made

Storage of water enhances bacterial contamination

Containers need to be cleaned thoroughly between refilling.

Carboys, tanks, bottles


Notorious source of contamination since we often refill them without
thoroughly cleaning them when they are emptied

up in the water

Connecting the Water Purification Unit to the
Clinical Analyzer

Water is delivered in its purified state to a harsh environment within
the chemistry analyzer bottle



Water bottles inside analyzer are not frequently decontaminated
Electronics, mechanical hardware, pumps all create heat within the
analyzer cabinet, thus raising the interior temperature of the water bottle.
Increased temperatures enhance the growth of bacteria and biofilm
within the instruments manifolds and tubings.
