User Manual COMBILYZER Plus
If your
COMBILYZER Plus
has already been set up for normal operation,
please, follow the instructions listed below (no 1-9), if not, follow the instructions
in chapters 4.1through 4.4.
1. Prepare the urine test sample tubes.
2. Enter the Patient ID by using the Meas/SetID.
3. Press the
Start
button on the LCD. The strip holder tray opens automatically.
4. Dip a test strip into the urine sample for 2 sec. and remove the excess urine
from strip by drawing its edge across the rim of the test or blotting it on a
paper towel.
5. Place the moistened test strip with the pads facing up on the strip holder.
Make sure that the leading edge of the strip is pushed against the stop.
6. Press the
Start
button on the LCD again. The strip holder will close
automatically. The device will check if there is a strip on the strip holder and if
so, the strip holder case will open half-way to allow the strip to evaporate
freely. When the incubation time is over, the strip holder will close again and
the measuring cycle will start.
7. From this step on, the test process is controlled automatically by the
COMBILYZER Plus
, if the Timer measuring mode has been previously
selected (see chapter 4.4.2). Results are stored and will be printed out by
default. In Timer measuring mode (default) a measuring cycle lasts around
60 seconds from pressing the
Start
button. To get the results in printed report
form, the printer has to be enabled in advance (see chapter 4.8). The Reader
Unit should be docked or be short distance from Printer Station.
8. To start a new measuring cycle, place a new strip on the strip holder and
touch the
Start
button. Quit operation is accepted in such case only if there is
no strip left in the strip holder, otherwise the device will continue to display a
warning message until the used strip has been removed.
9. When you are finished working with the
COMBILYZER Plus
press the
Quit
button in main menu. After asking for confirmation of your request, the
instrument will shut down automatically. If the instrument is left without input,
it will shut down automatically, after 2.5 minutes if operated on batteries and
after 5 minutes if connected to mains.
