The Hygiena Cube is a mobile measuring device for colorimetric tests based
on reflectance measurements to capture the optical density. The built-in
techniques allow a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of every lateral
flow assay. The test specific data is transferred wirelessly by radio-frequency
identification (RFID) before each measurement.
Please check before each
measurement if the batch number of the lateral flow test matches the
one printed on the RFID tag.
In case different shaped cassette/strip types
will be used, always ensure using the correct cassette/strip adapter with this
particular cassette/strip. A wrong cassette adapter or using it incorrectly can
affect the measurement result.
The measurement data can be stored internally. Every saved result includes
a unique measurement ID, test name, lot number, manufacturer, and date
and time. The measurement data can be extracted via USB using a special
USB cable and the Hygiena Cube DataReader Software. The device is
powered by battery but can also be powered via USB.
The use of the monitoring device is only allowed by following the instructions
stated in Chapter 7
Commissioning and Safety Instructions
. The Cube can
be used as a mobile handheld device or as a desktop measuring device
remotely controlled via USB cable and the free-to-use Cube DataReader
Stoftware.
The device and cassette adapter can get contaminated by any test specific
residues. In this case, cleaning with a disinfectant solution and protective
equipment which does not affect the housing or the cassette adapter has to
be conducted (e.g. alcohol-based disinfectant or similar products).
