ATTENTION: To ensure that urinalysis is carried out correctly, read the package insert included with the
test strips.
1. Dip the test strip in the urine sample and carefully wipe off any excess urine. Briefly (approximately 1 second) dab the
side edge of the strip on a clean, absorbent surface (for example kitchen roll) (see Figure 9).

2. Place the test strip, with the test pads facing upward, on the tray so that its leading edge is held by the clip at the
10
insertion slot. The retaining bar must be open (see Figure 10). About 2 mm of strip must be held under the clip (see
Figure 11).

3. Press the START button (see Figure 12). An acknowledging beep sounds. The tray advances slightly, the retaining
12
bar closes, and the grey reference pad on the tray is read (see Figure 13).

ATTENTION: Ensure that the retaining bar is locked into place and that the test strip is in the correct
position. If the test strip is not correctly located in the middle of the tray, move it gently to the side until it
is properly aligned (see Figure 14). Be careful not to move the tray.

4. Fifty-five seconds after the START button is pressed, the first test pad is measured, followed by the others. After that, the
tray returns to the start position and the retaining bar opens.
5. Remove and dispose of the test strip. Wipe any urine residues from the tray with a lint-free cloth (see Figure 16).
16
6. The result will be printed out and the next sample number will be displayed. The next test strip can be dipped, wiped off,
placed in the tray and read by pressing the START button. Refer to Section 6.6 for details of what must be observed
when working with patient identification numbers.
6.3 Patient Report
The patient report is printed out together with the sequence number, device ID, operator ID, date and time.
15
The patient’s name will also appear on the print out if entered prior to measurement (see Section 6.6). Test results
which diverge from negative or normal values are flagged with an asterisk before the parameter concerned. For
selection of concentration units and the order of parameters in the patient report, see Section 3.3. An asterisk printed
in the line below the heading but before the first parameter of the test results list indicates that the reading was taken
with changed range limits (see Section 3.5)
Tear off the printout, if desired, by pulling it horizontally over the edge.
!
WARNING: Thermal printing paper is sensitive to light and liable to age on prolonged exposure to bright
light. Patient reports are thus best kept in a place away from light.
6.4 Fast Mode (for Serial Readings)
You can also perform serial readings provided that the strips are dipped and incubated for about 45 seconds outside the
Urisys
1100 system. For this type of reading, “Fast Mode” should be selected from the menu. Place the test strips on the
Urisys 1100 system tray after allowing them to incubate for approximately 45 seconds, pressing START to begin each read-
ing.
The reference pad is read immediately, followed by the test pads on the test strip. Reading is complete after 30 seconds
and the next sample number appears in the display. When working in Fast Mode, ensure that you have a foolproof system
for matching sequence numbers to samples.
Remarks:
1. Results obtained in Fast Mode are saved in memory immediately; however, printing is deferred. Printout of the whole se-
ries begins automatically following 60 seconds of inactivity. Check carefully whether all sequence numbers have been
printed out. If any results are missing, press “Memory/Print” to printout stored results.
