Section 1 Introduction
The InSight Mini Chem Meter is intended for the quantitative determination of Uric Acid
(UA), Creatinine (CR) and Urea (UR) in capillary whole blood, venous whole blood, plasma
(lithium heparin) and serum. The easy to operate system consists of a portable meter which
analyses the intensity and colour of light reflected from the reagent area of a test strip,
ensuring quick and accurate results.
The InSight Mini Chem Meter reports in the following units: UA (µmol/L), CR (µmol/L) and
UR (mmol/L).
The InSight Mini Chem Meter can store up to 500 results.
To ensure accurate results:
•
Read the instructions carefully and complete any necessary training before use
•
Use the code chip that is included in each box of test strips. Do not mix code chips
from different lots
•
Only use the InSight Mini Chem Test Strips with the InSight Mini Chem Meter
•
For in vitro diagnostic use only
•
For veterinary use only
•
Keep out of reach of children
Principle of Measurement
The InSight Mini Chem Meter applies the principle of photochemistry and is used with the
InSight Mini Chem Test Strips. The whole blood, serum or plasma sample is added to the
sample area of the test strip. In the process of rapid infiltration, blood cells are filtered out.
The substrate reacts with enzymes and chemicals in the reaction layer which leads to the
colour change. The colour intensity is proportional to the concentration of the substance.
