After the Testing Screen is entered (Fig. 4), the analyzer will give the user 5 seconds to dip the urine reagent strip
into the urine sample, blot the strip lengthwise, and place the strip on the strip bed. The analyzer will beep once
confirming that the strip has been placed on the strip bed, and then the analyzer will count down from 60 seconds
to 0 (testing time). At 14 seconds remaining in the testing period the analyzer will move the strip bed into the
analyzer to begin reading the color of each parameter.
Once the testing time has expired the results will appear on the screen (see Fig. 6). The analyzer will also print
the results automatically i
f the analyzer has been set up to automatically print results. The date, time, patient ID,
and color will be printed along with the test results (see Fig. 7).
The test results displayed on the screen and the printout will include the following information:
•
Patient ID or both
