2. Running a test

Make sure the strip type is correct (Fig. 1 on page 12). In order to run a specimen, press YES on the menu when the selection arrow is pointing to urine test. The instrument will beep once. Notice the counter on the bottom right hand corner of the display (Fig. 3), it will be counting down from 5 seconds. During these 5 seconds dip the strip into the urine specimen according to urine reagent strip instructions. The instrument will then beep 6 times consecutively and count down from 60 seconds. Remove all excess urine by dabbing the test strip on absorbent paper. Place the strip on the strip bed, the instrument will beep once when recognizing the strip. See fgure below for proper placement of strip. At 21 seconds on the countdown the instrument will beep twice and the strip bed will begin to enter the machine. If the strip has not been properly placed on the strip bed by this point there will be an error message. The instrument will read the strip at 1 minute and will immediately print the results afterwards.

Caution: Use proper procedure for dipping urine strips

1. The urine strips should be dipped in the sample for 2 seconds.

2. Timing is crucial. If the urine strip is dipped too late or too early then results may be afected.

3. Do not use the urine strips more than once.

4. If there is an error message (Trouble), troubleshoot the problem before attempting to run a test.

7. Using the calibration strip

Every instrument comes with a calibration strip. It is to be used to make sure that the instrument is working properly. First change the strip type to read 11 parameters. Then run the strip. Compare the results with those in the calibrator strip box. They should match exactly.
 

Before everyday use, the apparatus should be checked once with the calibration strip to ensure the accuracy of test results. In the test, put the calibration strip into the reagent strip bed directly, do not use any reagent or urine, the operation step is the same with that of the testing strip. If the test result is totally the same with the calibration value adhered to the calibration strip kit, it indicates that the apparatus works normally. If not, use the 2nd calibration strip to test the apparatus again.

8. Output of external data

The apparatus can also transmit data to a computer through a RS232 outlet for statistical management. The explanations of outward data management is as follows:

• Tandem outlet output: Standard RS232 level signal

• Data code: ASCII

• Output time: Results transmitted after printing

• Output the format: 4800 baud rate, data 7 fgures, stop 2 even
