6 ID NOW Instrument User Manual
1.1 Intended Use
The ID NOW
™
Instrument is a fluorescence-based instrument for the processing
and analysis of ID NOW tests.
This document describes the setup, configuration and operation of the ID NOW
Instrument, which utilizes isothermal nucleic acid technology for the qualitative
detection of a range of infectious diseases. It is intended to aid in the diagnosis of
these diseases.
1.2 Product Description
ID NOW utilizes isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology for the qualitative
detection of infectious diseases. Consumables such as Test Bases and Sample
Receivers are required to run each assay.
The reaction tubes in the Test Base contain the reagents required for amplification of
the target nucleic acid and an internal control. ID NOW utilizes a pair of templates
(similar to primers) for the specific amplification of the target nucleic acid and
a fluorescently-labeled molecular beacon designed to specifically identify the
amplified targets.
To perform the assay, the Sample Receiver and Test Base are inserted into the
ID NOW Instrument. The sample is added to the Sample Receiver and transferred
via the Transfer Cartridge to the Test Base, initiating target amplification. Heating,
rotation and detection is provided by the instrument, with results automatically
reported.
Additional assay specific information and work flows are detailed in the respective
product inserts.
