Development Modes
When a patient sample is added to the Test Cassette, it begins to flow through the test strip. The
development time required varies by test type. Refer to the assay-specific Package Insert to
determine the required development time of each test and the required storage conditions of the
test and external controls.
The correct development time is required to get accurate results.
Sofia 2 has been designed to operate in different development modes. The Supervisor and User
can identify the mode that works best with their workflow and testing volume.
WALK AWAY Mode
may be the most convenient for reading a single patient sample, as the User
can walk away during the development period. Sofia 2 has the capability of two different WALK
AWAY Modes: User-selected WALK AWAY Mode and LOCKED WALK AWAY Mode.
◼
User-selected WALK AWAY Mode may be the most convenient for reading a single patient
sample, as the User can walk away during the development period. In this mode, the User
dispenses the patient sample into the Test Cassette and then immediately inserts the Test
Cassette into Sofia 2. Sofia 2 will automatically allow the Test Cassette to develop for the
required time period (pre-programmed for each test), read the Test Cassette, analyze and
interpret the data, and automatically and objectively display the test result.
Depending on
the test, Sofia 2 may also read the Test Cassette periodically during the development time
and display a positive result prior to the final test time.
◼
LOCKED WALK AWAY Mode can only be selected while logged in as a Supervisor. In this
mode, Sofia 2 has been locked into WALK AWAY development timing for ALL assays run on
the analyzer. READ NOW development timing will not be available when this Default Mode
has been selected.
READ NOW Mode
may be most convenient for high volume situations as Sofia 2 can quickly read
multiple patient samples sequentially. The User dispenses the patient sample into the Test
Cassette. The User then
manually
times the development period
outside
of Sofia 2. This can be
done on the counter or benchtop using a timer. Refer to the assay-specific Package Insert for the
required development time. Once the development time is complete, the User inserts the Test
Cassette into Sofia 2. Sofia 2 will immediately read and display the test result within 1 minute.
