What does the analyzer do?
Your Clinitek Status
®
analyzer is
a portable instrument for reading
Bayer urinalysis strips and Clinitest
®
immunoassay cassettes. No special
training is needed to use this
instrument. Several different Bayer
urinalysis strips (e.g., Multistix
®
10
SG) can be used with the analyzer
as well as the Clinitest hCG
Pregnancy Test.
The analyzer can be set up to be
as simple or sophisticated as you
prefer. You may simply insert a
dipped urinalysis strip or a Clinitest
cassette into the analyzer and the
result will be reported (this is called
a
Quick Test
).
Or, you have the option to enter
an Operator ID, Patient Name and
Patient ID. This added information
will be reported along with the test
results (this is called a
Full Test
).
The touch screen displays
instructions and prompts you
through operation of the analyzer. In
addition, you enter information
through the touch screen.
Do I have to calibrate?
You do not have to do anything to
calibrate. The instrument performs
a system test each time it is turned
on. Then, each time a test is run,
the instrument automatically
calibrates. The white calibration bar
(on the test table) provides NIST
traceable calibration.
How does it work?
Testing starts (in the
Quick Test
mode) when either the
Strip Test
or
Cassette Test
is selected on the
main menu screen.
Touching the
Strip Test
key
prompts you to adjust the test table
to accept a urinalysis strip. Then
you touch the
START
key. You
have 8 seconds to dip the test strip,
blot the edge of the strip and place
it on the test strip table. The table is
partially pulled into the instrument
for calibration and then pulled
completely into the instrument to
read the test strip.
Touching the
Cassette Test
key
prompts you to adjust the test table
to accept a cassette. Then you
touch the
START
key. You have
8 seconds to draw the sample into
a pipette and dispense it into the
sample well of the cassette. The
analyzer automatically calibrates
and then pulls the table completely
into the instrument where the
cassette is read.
In the
Full Test
mode for either a
Strip Test
or
Cassette Test
, you
are prompted to enter an Operator
ID, Patient Name and/or Patient ID
prior to running a test.
