1. Introduction
The Sysmex XT-2000i and XT-1800i are automated
hematology analyzers for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical
laboratories.
The XT-2000i can analyze and output the results of 24
parameters of a blood sample, while the XT-1800i can do the
same for 21 parameters.
The XT-2000i performs analysis of WBCs and reticulocytes
with an optical detector block based on the flow cytometry
method, using a semiconductor laser. The XT-1800i uses the
same method for analysis of WBCs only.
RBCs and platelet count are analyzed by the RBC detector
using the Hydro Dynamic Focusing method.
Hemoglobin (HGB) is analyzed by the HGB detector based on
the SLS hemoglobin detection method.
Analysis data is displayed on the IPU.

own expected reference intervals based upon the
laboratory's patient population encountered during
daily operation. Expected reference intervals may vary
due to the differences in sex, age, diet, fluid intake,
geographic location, etc. The NCCLS Document C28-

3.10 Methods
Sysmex XT-2000i/XT-1800i performs analysis based on the
Electric Resistance Detecting Method (Hydro Dynamic
Focusing Method), Flow Cytometry Method using
semiconductor laser and SLS-Hemoglobin Method. The
following is an outline of our testing principles:
3.SLS-Hemoglobin Method
The SLS-hemoglobin method is an analysis method that
makes use of the advantages of two methods.
cyanmethemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin. As with the
oxyhemoglobin method, the hemoglobin conversion speed
of the SLS-hemoglobin method is fast and the method does
not use poisonous substances, making it a suitable method
for automation. Similar to the cyanhemoglobin method, the
SLS-Hemoglobin method can also accurately measure
blood, containing methemoglobin, such as control blood.
In the SLS-Hemoglobin method, surfactants lyse the red

sample is diluted 1:50 with lysing reagent STROMATOLYSER-
4DL and then STROMATOLYSER-4DS dye is added.
After a predefined response time the stained sample is
introduced into the detector, where forward light scatter and
side fluorescent emission are measured. From this, four
leukocyte populations are computed: neutrophil count
(NEUT#), lymphocyte count (LYMPH#), monocyte count
(MONO#) and eosinophil count (EO#), as well as neutrophil
percentage (NEUT%), lymphocyte percentage (LYMPH%),
monocyte percentage (MONO%) and eosinophil percentage

a. Reagent Check
Check that there is a sufficient amount of reagent for the
number of samples to be analyzed that day. If the amount is
insufficient, prepare replacement reagent. If the reagent is
exhausted during analysis, the system automatically stops
after completion of the last sample and alerts the operator to
replace the reagent. Analysis cannot be restarted until
replacement is completed.
Information!
If a message appears prompting the operator to replace
the reagent, replace the empty reagent with new reagent.
If the replacement sequence is executed with a small
amount of remaining reagent, air bubbles may form and
cause the background values to be higher.
Caution!
• Only use reagents that have been left at room
temperature (15 - 30°C) for at least 24 hours.
• When using a reagent which may have been frozen,
observe the precautions listed on the package insert. In
some cases, correct analysis may not be possible.
• When replacing the reagent container, make sure that no
dust contacts the cubitainer spout kit. Don’t touch the
spout kit. Adhering dust may prevent correct analysis
results.
• After opening a reagent container, make sure that no
substance such as dust, dirt, or bacteria enters the
container. These substances may prevent correct
analysis.
b. Printer Paper
Make sure that there is a sufficient amount of printer paper for
the day's samples.
c. Instrument
Check the tubing and cables. Make sure that the tubing is not
bent, and that the power cord is securely plugged into the
outlet.
d. Sampler
Make sure that there are no racks in the analysis line. Remove
any rack from the line. Make sure that the left and right rack
pools and the analysis line are clean.
e. Waste Fluid
Discharge any waste fluid that has been collected in the waste
container (if applicable).
For the waste fluid discharging procedure, see "Chapter 12:
Cleaning and Maintenance".
Note:
The power for the Pneumatic Unit is controlled by the Main
Unit. Therefore there is no need to separately turn the
power for the Pneumatic Unit ON/OFF.

Background check
After the temperature has stabilized, a background check is
WBC 0.1 [×103/µL] performed by repeating background analysis for a maximum of
3 times. If the background value is at or below the values
DIFF-WBC 0.2 [×103/µL]
shown in the table at the left, the background check is
RBC 0.02 [×106/µL] completed.
HGB 0.1 [g/dL] If the background values are not at or below the acceptable
values, a "BACKGROUND ERROR" results, and a Help dialog
PLT 10 [×103/µL] box appears.
PLT-O 10 [×103/µL] Values for parameters not at or below the acceptable values
are displayed in red in the Background Check dialog box.

Caution!
Even if the values are not at or below the acceptable
values, analysis can still be done by clicking Cancel on the
Help dialog box. The measured values may be higher and
there may be parameters for which correct analysis results
cannot be obtained. To proceed analysis without
acceptable background values is not advisable though!
Note:
The sample ID number for the background check data is
"BACKGROUNDCHECK."
Of the background check data, the data which is not at or
below the acceptable values is handled as a sample error
(Func.). For details, see "8.2, 3: Error Display in Chapter
8."
Information!
Always perform a Quality Control prior to operation - before
samples are analyzed - as described in Chapter 9 Quality
Control.
Note:
X Control analyzes the control sample twice in succession
and uses the average of the results as the control data. L-J
Control uses the analysis results obtained from a single
analysis as the control data.
To display the results of QC analysis, see "4. Display of QC
Analysis Results" in this chapter.
X Control
Two consecutive analyses are performed (repeat
determination) and the mean of them is compared with the
expected range.
Levey-Jennings control
Only one control blood analysis is performed (detection be
separate operation) and compared with the expected range.

Type of specimen
Blood specimens should be collected either by venepuncture
for processing in whole blood mode or micro sampling by skin
puncture for capillary mode processing. For micro sampling
the blood can be obtained from the ear lobe or finger of an
adult (preferable the latter) or from the heel of an infant.
Ideally, large drops of blood should exude slowly but
spontaneously, and only the very gentlest squeezing is
permissible. If it is necessary to squeeze firmly to obtain
blood, the results are unreliable.
Conditions of collection
Venepuncture specimens should be collected into EDTA
anticoagulant (K2-EDTA or K3-EDTA) and processed within 4
hours of collection. If specimens cannot be processed within 4
hours, they should be refrigerated at 2 - 8°C. Before
processing refrigerated specimens should be allowed to warm
up to room temperature (minimum 15 minutes), then mixed,
preferably by rotation, for at least 2 minutes.
Note:
All performance claims given in this manual were
generated using specimens in EDTA anticoagulant.
Results may be affected by the use of other
anticoagulants. Therefore, each laboratory should develop
protocols for handling specimens collected in these
anticoagulants.
Information!
Prepare only one sample at a time. If the diluent is filled in
advance, there is a risk of evaporation or contamination.
Incorrect measuring results may result.
b. Inputting the Sample ID Number, and Setting for Manual Mode and Discrete

Information!
If the sample is removed beforehand, the analysis cannot
be correctly performed.
Take care not to bend the sample probe.
Caution!
When removing the sample tube, move it straight
downwards to avoid bending the manual aspiration probe

Risk of infection
Be sure to wear gloves when preparing a sample for
capillary analysis.
Because there is a potential of infection by pathogens,
wash your hands with an antiseptic solution after work is
completed.
Caution!
Platelet agglutination tends to occur quickly in the 1:5
dilution sample. Perform analysis immediately after adding
the blood to make the diluted sample. Prepare diluted
samples one at a time for each analysis. If the diluent is
dispensed too much ahead of time, measurement errors
will result from evaporation and contamination.

Warning!
Affix the bar code label so that the bars on the label are
arranged horizontally when the rack is placed on the

If the bar code label is affixed slanted, the potential of an
incorrect reading of the bar code label will be increased.
Revised July 2007
Caution!
Sample tubes with multiple labels, or labels which are not
flat and smooth against the tube, may cause interference
with sampling. The sampler is likely to jam, and in extreme
circumstances, the sampler may not be able to properly
release the tube back into its original rack position. This
could result in sample misidentification. To prevent this
occurrence, it is recommended that no more than two
labels be placed on the sample tube. Also, it is important
to assure that the labels are flat and smooth against the
tube, without creases or flaring.
Information!
• Affix the rack number bar code label so that it is aligned
with the positions of the bar code labels on the sample
tubes.
• If the bar code label is affixed in the blood volume sensor
area, the blood volume cannot be correctly monitored.
• To prevent instrument damage and ensure that the tube
can be properly handled, make sure that the bar code
label does not extend past the bottom of the sample
tube.

9. Quality Control
The reliability of the XT-2000i/1800i and reagents is ensured
by quality controls. With quality controls the stability of the
measured values is monitored over an extended period of time
and problems are detected early on or prevented.
A quality control should be performed:
• Before any start of operation - prior to analyzing samples,
• at least every 8 hours during operation,
• after replenishment of components,
• after maintenance,
• if there is any doubt about the accuracy of the analysis
values.
Information!
Do not use any other control material than e-CHECK Level
1, e-CHECK Level 2, e-CHECK Level 3. This control blood
is specially made to match to the analyzer's measuring
technology.
X Control
Two consecutive analyses are performed (repeat
determination) and the mean of them is compared with the
expected range.
Levey-Jennings control
Only one control blood analysis is performed (detection be
separate operation) and compared with the expected range.
X-barM control
The X-barM control should be run in the background, parallel
to one of the control methods mentioned above.
9.3 Preparations
Control blood preparation
Warning!
Control blood can contain potentially pathogenic germs.
To prevent any danger of infection always wear rubber
gloves when handling control blood. After completion of
work, wash hands with disinfectant.
Information!
Examine the bottom of the vial and assure that mixing is
complete by confirming that there is no pellet of cells
adhering to the bottom of the vial before performing the
analysis.
Wipe threads of cap and vial with clean lint-free tissue
before replacing cap. Recap vial tightly. Store the control
blood at 2-8°C in an upright position.

a. Manual Setting
1. Click a parameter in the list you wish to set.
The selected parameter will be displayed in the Manual
Setting column on the right side of the dialog box.
b. Variable Target
Variable Target Function
The variable target function serves to calculate a control target
value automatically from the data stored in the control file.
The variable target function operates in both the X-barM and
X-bar/L-J control programs when the target value is set at
space. The variable target value calculated by this function
does not appear in the "Set Target/Limit" dialog box. It
appears only in the Target column of the QC charts.

UL 4.61
RBC 4.50
LL 4.39
(2) 4.45 million is input as the second RBC control data. The
variable target remains the same, because the
denominator (N-1) in the equation X/N-1 is 1 in this
instance.

variable target, calculated using all three of the previous
control data, changes to 4.49 (= (4.50 + 4.45 + 4.52) / 3).

LIMIT
Assume that the control limits are the values given above. If
the control data is 5.21 million, the data on the L-J or Xbar
dialog box are shown with a yellow background, but the data
can be entered on the chart. If the control data is 5.61 million
however, it should not be entered on the QC Chart, and the
data on the L-J or Xbar dialog box are shown with a red
background.

When Variable Target is selected for quality control, set
the limit manually, or read the assay value from the floppy
disk.
When "Current + new" is selected in the Lot column, the

10. Calibration
Calibration is performed to compensate for any reproducible
inaccuracies of the system. The HGB and/or HCT values are
corrected by a calibration value.
Caution!
Calibration needs not to be performed at specific intervals.
Follow the internal laboratory regulations for performing a
calibration, if existing.
Abnormal QC data due to instrument problems, reagent
degradation, or deterioration of control blood cannot be
eliminated by calibration.
Information!
Revised February 2008
Information!
Each sample should be analyzed at least three times.
Mark or number the samples and make notes of the values
determined.
Note:
Check that the status of the Main Unit is READY or STAT

1. Normal Expression
With the peak of the particle size distribution set as "full scale"
(maximum height when the particle size distribution is
displayed), this method of expression normalizes and
expresses the distribution.
RBC PLT
Revised February 2008
With the peak of the cell size range found experimentally set
as full scale rather than the peak of the particle size
distribution set as full scale (maximum height when the particle
size distribution is displayed), this method of expression
normalizes and expresses the distribution. At the same time, it
repeatedly expresses the normal range of the distribution.
If, however, the peak of the particle size distribution is higher
than the peak of the normal cell size range, the expression is
made with the distribution peak set as full scale. In this case,
the normal cell size range is proportionally smaller than the
height of the particle size distribution peak.
A normal cell size range can be obtained by superposing the
particle size distributions of a large number of ordinary people
and then utilizing the region from the 10th percentile to the
90th percentile.
RBC PLT
RBC and PLT cell signals are sent to the applicable waveform
processing circuits of the analog unit, where noise is
eliminated and the required blood cell signals are picked up.
The digital unit converts the analog-to-digital-converted cell
signals into particle size distribution data and sends the data to
the microcomputer unit.
The blood cell signals from the optical detector block (which
analyzes 4DIFF, WBC/BASO, and RET (XT-2000i only)) can
be obtained by the process mentioned below.
Signals from the forward scattered light, lateral scattered light,
and lateral fluorescent light are sent to the applicable
waveform processing circuits of the analog unit, where noise is
eliminated and the required blood cell signals are picked up.
The digital unit converts the analog-to-digital-converted cell
signals into scattergram data and sends the data to the
microcomputer unit.

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."

Note:
Because the analyzers rely on histograms and
scattergrams to judge data and provide the Interpretive
Program (IP) messages, discrete test orders that do not
include parameters derived from these histograms and
scattergrams inhibit the analyzer’s ability to judge results
and provide the IP messages. Example: A discrete order
for CBC only does not evaluate samples for blasts or
NRBCs. The IP message "Blasts?" and "NRBC?" is
judged only if "CBC + Diff" is ordered.
Error results display "****", "----.-" or "+++.+" for parameters
cannot be calculated. This can be due to analysis error

Note:
The bar code of CODE 128 for quality control is a special
code used for the control blood of Sysmex.
Narrow/Wide Ratio
Check Digit
1) Modulus 11
1. Each digit is weighted. The weight corresponding to each
digit is as follow.
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) Weighted Modulus 11
Weighted modulus 11 has two sets of 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.
2 5 8 4 1 6
X X X X X X
Weight 8 4 5 3 6 2
16 20 40 12 6 12
Note:
For Weighted Modulus 11, weight for the 13th, 14th and
15th digits are assumed 0.

Intended Use
The Sysmex XT- Series Hematology Analyzer is a quantitative,
automated hematology analyzer and leukocyte differential
counter for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories. The
XT-Series Body Fluid Application adds a quantitative,
automated procedure for analyzing cerebrospinal fluid, serous
fluid and synovial fluid to the XT- Series, providing
enumeration of the WBCs and the RBCs.
Analysis Principle
Fluorescent flow cytometry using lateral scattered light and
lateral fluorescent light are used to determine the White Blood
Cell Count. The Direct Current (DC) detection method is used
for the Red Blood Cell Count.
Specimen Type
Cerebrospinal fluids, serous and synovial fluids with EDTA, as
needed.
Quality Control
If the same instrument is used for cell counting in peripheral
blood, then no additional controls are required for body fluid
testing.
2. INSTRUMENT SPECIFICATIONS
Precision
Within-run precision is based on 10 consecutive
determinations of the same sample.
3. PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Accuracy of WBC
Accuracy of RBC
Fluid Type
Mean Minimum Maximum N= R Slope Intercept
Warning!
When analyzing samples, be sure to wear gloves and use
universal precautions. After completion of the analysis, be
sure to wash your hands with disinfectant.
Caution!
• In case of analyzing body fluid specimens, use discrete
mode of below from "Discrete" of the Manual Sample No.
dialog box.
- "CBC+DIFF"
- "CBC+DIFF+RET" (XT-2000i only)
• Some anticoagulants will alter test results; therefore only
use EDTA as the anticoagulant with samples that
possibly could clot.
• Body fluid samples should be checked for clots. Samples
with clots should not be run.
• Before analyzing samples, check that the background
counts are as described in chapter of Background
Counts. If not, then perform an auto rinse or a blank
measurement in the mode "CBC+DIFF" or "CBC+DIFF +
RET(XT-2000i only)".
• After completion of analysis, select "Auto Rinse" on the
Controller menu to execute an automatic rinse and
background check. Residual blood and reagent can
cause protein to accumulate in the aspiration line and
flow cell.

Caution!
WBC#-Diff Channel result cannot be transmitted to printer
and host computer, however it is possible to print a
hard-copy of the DIFF-Service Data screen.
Caution!
The results will not be saved in stored data due to blank
data. They will only be available in Last 20. It is very
important to print your results before the results are
removed from the Last 20.
