CHEK-STIX ® Positive and Negative
Control Strips for Urinalysis
Combo Pak (Product Number 1364 — U.S.A. and Canada)
(Product Number 1364E—all other countries)
Positive Control Strips (Product Number 1360)
CHEK-STIX ® Positive and Negative Control Strips for
Urinalysis (Figure 6-1) provide a performance check for
the CLINITEK 500 Instrument/Reagent Strip System.
CHEK-STIX Control Strips provide confidence that the
Reagent Strips are reacting and being read properly.
Errors resulting from user technique can also be detected.
Figure 6-1
CHEK-STIX Control Strips are reconstituted in distilled
water to make up a CHEK-STIX control solution. Instruc-
tions are included in the package insert and on the bottle
label, and test results that should be obtained are listed
in the package insert.
NOTE: CHEK-STIX Control Strips are not suitable for use
with MULTISTIX PRO ® Reagent Strips.
The Control Strips are available as a Combo Pak, which
contains one bottle each of the Positive Control Strips
and Negative Control Strips (25 strips/bottle). The Positive
Control Strips are also available as a separate product
(one bottle of 25 strips).
CLINITEK ® Handheld Bar Code
Reader
(Product Number 6469)
The CLINITEK
® Handheld Bar Code Reader (Figure
6-2) can be connected to the RJ45 interface port on the
CLINITEK 500 instrument. The Handheld Reader can be
used to enter the identification numbers from barcoded
labels, rather than manually entering each number before
the specimen is tested. Color and clarity can also be
scanned from special bar codes that are included with
the Handheld Reader.
