ement Modes
The device offers the following options for the test measurement:
a) Immediate measurement
For this type of measurement the test-specific incubation time must be
monitored by the user. The user will decide when to apply the test to the
Hygiena Cube. If the user is not monitoring the incubation time correctly, the
measurement results can be wrong.
When applying the test to the Cube, the measurement starts immediately
after pressing the button if the specific analysis configurations were
previously uploaded via RFID card. The result will be displayed and can be
stored in the internal memory.
b) Timer measurement
This type of measurement follows a test-specifically configured incubation
period, e.g. 10 minutes. The incubation time is implemented in the
configuration file and will be automatically started if chosen by the user. At
the end of the incubation period the measurement starts and displays the
result. The timer measurement procedure can be stopped by pressing the
control button. The user must start the measurement after the lateral flow
test has been activated. Waiting too long will affect the incubation time and
thus the result.
The actual procedure of measuring will be described in the following
chapter.
