IDEXX VetLab
UA Analyzer Operator’s Guide
6. Press the Start button. A beep sounds. The tray advances slightly and the retaining bar closes.
Each time a test strip is read, the gray reference pad in the tray is evaluated for temperature
and aging effects that may influence the optical system.
IMPORTANT: 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.
The test strip tray automatically pulls the test strip into the analyzer so it can be read and then
returns to its start position. Do not remove the test strip until the analyzer returns to ready-to-
measure mode. It takes approximately 80 seconds from when you press the Start button until
all measurements are complete.
7. The UA analyzer prints the test results and the next sequence number appears on the display
menu.
NOTE: If the UA analyzer is connected to the IDEXX VetLab
Station, test results are transmitted automatically.
8. Remove and dispose of the test strip. Wipe any urine residue
from the tray with a lint-free wipe (Figure 10). For more
information about cleaning the tray, see “Cleaning the Test Strip
Tray” on page 25.
Sending Results to the IDEXX VetLab Station
Computer
If the IDEXX VetLab UA Analyzer is connected to the IDEXX VetLab Station computer, data
transmission occurs automatically. However, you can manually transmit data, as needed. For
more information see “To Manually Send Results to the IDEXX VetLab Station” on page 20.
Patient Report Printout
The IDEXX VetLab UA Analyzer patient report printout contains the
sequence number, date and time, and the results of the test (Figure
11). If a patient name was entered on the IDEXX VetLab Station, it will
appear on the UA analyzer printout as the patient ID.
To remove the printout, pull it forward and tear it horizontally across
the edge.
NOTE: Thermal printing paper is sensitive to light and liable to age
with prolonged exposure to bright light. The UA analyzer patient
report printouts are best kept in a place away from light. If you
choose to tape the results report to another source, be sure that the
tape does not cover the results as the type will fade over time.
