    摘要: An instrument for determining a characteristic of a biological fluid or a control comprises a radiation-reflective surface, a first source for irradiating the surface, a first detector for detecting radiation reflected from the surface, and a mechanism for determining the characteristic based on the detected radiation. A slide holds a sample of the biological fluid or control the characteristic of which is to be determined. The slide has two opposed walls transparent to the radiation. The first source and first detector are disposed adjacent a first one of the two opposed walls and the radiation reflective surface is disposed adjacent a second of the two opposed walls. A system is provided for supplying power and regulating supplied power from one of multiple power sources to the instrument. The system comprises first and second power sources, first coupling circuitry for selectively coupling the system to the first power source, second coupling circuitry for selectively coupling the system to the second power source, and circuitry for comparing a voltage supplied by the first power source to a voltage supplied by the second power source and for controlling the first coupling circuitry to decouple the system from the first power source when the voltage supplied by the second power source exceeds the voltage supplied by the first power source.

    摘要: In combination, an instrument for determining a characteristic of a biological fluid or a control, and a cuvette for holding a sample of the biological fluid or control, the characteristic of which is to be determined. The instrument comprises a radiation-reflective surface, a first source for irradiating the surface, and a first detector for detecting radiation reflected from the surface. The cuvette has two opposed walls substantially transparent to the source radiation and reflected radiation. The first source and first detector are disposed adjacent a first one of the two opposed walls. The radiation reflective surface is disposed adjacent a second of the two opposed walls. A second source is provided for irradiating the surface. The first detector detects radiation from the second source reflected from the surface. The second source is positioned to transmit radiation through the two opposed walls for reflection by the surface and transmission back through the two opposed walls to the first detector to indicate whether a sample has reached a first point in the cuvette.

    摘要: A method of immunizing the operation of an instrument which determines a characteristic of a biological fluid or a control against noise. The instrument includes a surface upon which a user deposits a sample of biological fluid or control the characteristic of which is to be determined. The instrument irradiates the sample and detects radiation from the sample to determine the characteristic. The method comprises monitoring the detected radiation a first time to determine if the detected radiation is increasing or decreasing, forming a first change in detected radiation from said first monitoring, subsequently monitoring the detected radiation a second time to determine if the detected radiation is increasing or decreasing, forming a second change in detected radiation from said second monitoring, forming an overall change in detected radiation from the first and second monitorings, establishing a first threshold, establishing a second threshold, comparing the first change to the first threshold, comparing the second change to the first threshold, if the magnitudes of both the first and second changes are greater than the first threshold, comparing the overall change in radiation to the second threshold, and determining the characteristic if the magnitudes of the first and second changes are greater than the first threshold and the overall change is greater than the second threshold.

    摘要: An instrument for determining a characteristic of a biological fluid or a control includes a heater and a heater control. The heater comprises a heater element, supported in heat conducting relationship to the biological fluid or control when the instrument is in use. A temperature sensitive element monitors the temperature of the heater element support. The heater control comprises a first temperature setpoint control for controlling the heater to maintain the temperature of the biological fluid or control at about a first temperature and a second temperature setpoint control for overriding the first temperature setpoint control to heat the biological fluid or control toward a second temperature.
