When measuring continuously, repeat steps 1 to 3 .
Set measurement numbers and patient IDs as necessary.
When the buzzer setting is ON, the beeper sounds
for two seconds to signal the timing for dipping the
next test strip.
Dip the test strip while you hear the beep.
Turn off the instrument after completing all the measurement procedures.
Turn on the power switch at the back of the instrument.
Prepare a sufficient volume of sample in urine collection cup so
that the entire test strip pad area can be dipped in a single
motion. Stir well.

Chapter 2 Measurement Operation
5
Start the Control measurement
IMPORTANT:
Different procedures at this
stage are required, depending
on the setting of the “opera-
tional mode when turning ON”
parameter. (See “Operational
mode” on page 2-3.)
The standard setting is “Auto
start” mode. To change the
“operational mode when turn-
ing ON”, see “3-7-8. No.005:
Operational mode when turn-
ing ON” on page 3-8.
REFERENCE: When the buzzer setting is ON, the buzzer sounds in the following
intervals to signal the dipping timing for the test strips.
Slow beeping
Fast beeping
Preparation for
dipping: 3 seconds
Dipping period:
2 seconds
Test strip setting:
.4 seconds
● When using the “Auto start” mode, go to step 6.
● When using the “Cycle start” mode, press and go to step 6.
6
Dip a test strip in the sample for 2 seconds
Do not dip the
black mark.
Dip the test strip in the sample for 2 seconds, and then withdraw it.
IMPORTANT: ● Dip the entire test strip pad
area in the sample at once.
Do not allow the black mark
shown in the figure to become
wet. If the test strip is dipped
too deeply and the black
mark is moistened, correct
measurement may not be
obtained.
● After dipping the test strip in the sample, remove excess urine
using the edge of the collection cup.
● In the “Auto start” mode, the buzzer does not sound for the first
measurement. Always dip the test strip for 2 seconds. Insufficient
dipping of test strips may cause insufficient color change, while
dipping too long may cause reagents to drain out of the test strip,
either of which will prevent correct measurement.
REFERENCE: When the buzzer setting is ON, the buzzer sounds for 2 seconds to
signal the dipping timing.
icon is displayed.
2. Enter measurement number to identify control level.
3. Dip entire test strip pad area in sample for two (2) seconds.
• If buzzer setting is ON follow the timing chart below:

Chapter 2 Measurement Operation
Take out the required number of test strips from
the bottle.
Close the test strip bottle cap securely.
IMPORTANT: After taking the test strips out
of the bottle, immediately close
the cap or the test strips in the
bottle will absorb moisture or dirt
in the air, which may deteriorate
reagents and make the test
strips useless.
5
Start normal measurement
Confirm that the icon ( ) for normal measurement
appears on the [Standby screen].
IMPORTANT: Different procedures at this
stage are required, depending
on the setting of the “opera-
tional mode when turning ON”
parameter. (See “Operational
mode” on page 2-3.)
The standard setting is “Auto start” mode. To change the “operational
mode when turning ON” parameter, see “3-7-8. No.005: Operational
mode when turning ON” on page 3-8.

Call up the [Clarity input screen]
Press and hold for about 2 seconds.
The [Clarity input screen] appears.
4. Place test strip on test strip tray.
• Place strip in the detection area of the test strip detection window with the black marker on right or left.
• The carrying arm sends the test strip into the analyzer and measurement starts automatically.
5. When buzzer setting is ON, the beeper sounds for two seconds to signal the timing for dipping the next test strip.
Dip the test strip while you hear the beep.
When measuring continuously, repeat steps 2 to 4.
Set measurement numbers as necessary.
6. Read test results from printout.
7. Turn off instrument after completing all measurement procedures.

2.4.3 Control measurement
Controls should be used daily, whenever a new bottle of strips is opened, before reporting unusual or unexpected
results, and when training new operators. Refer to the control solution package insert for expected values. Each
laboratory should establish its own goals for adequate standards of performance by following local, state and federal
requirements when establishing their QC program.

Prepare the Control.
2 Change the measurement mode
a
Check that the [Standby screen] is displayed.
b
Press or to switch to the Control measurement mode.
• On the [Standby screen], the icon is displayed and the
mode changes to the Control measurement mode. When the
measurement mode is switched, the measurement number
restarts from “0001”.
Wear protective gloves to prevent exposure to pathogenic microorganisms.
Pad area
IMPORTANT:
Prepare a sufficient volume of Control in a vessel so that the
entire test strip pad area can be dipped at once.
NOTE:
Before using a Control, read carefully its package insert.
