A Brief Description What does the analyzer do? Your Clinitek Status® analyzer is a portable instrument for reading Bayer urinalysis strips and Clinitest immunoassay cassettes. No special training is needed to use this instrument. Several different Bayer urinalysis strips (e.g., Multistix® 10 SG) can be used with the analyzer as well as the Clinitest® hCG Pregnancy Test. The analyzer can be set up to be as simple or sophisticated as you prefer. You may simply insert a dipped urinalysis strip or a Clinitest cassette into the analyzer and the result will be reported (this is called a Quick Test). Or, you have the option to enter an Operator ID, Patient Name and Patient ID. This added information will be reported along with the test results (this is called a Full Test). The touch screen displays instructions and prompts you through operation of the analyzer. In addition, you enter information through the touch screen. Do I have to calibrate? You do not have to do anything to calibrate. The instrument performs a system test each time it is turned on. Then, each time a test is run, the instrument automatically

132387 Rev. A, 2003-07

calibrates. The white calibration bar (on the test table) provides NIST traceable calibration. How does it work? Testing starts (in the Quick Test mode) when either the Strip Test or Cassette Test is selected on the main menu screen. Touching the Strip Test key prompts you to adjust the test table to accept a urinalysis strip. Then you touch the START key. You have 8 seconds to dip the test strip, blot the edge of the strip and place it on the test strip table. The table is partially pulled into the instrument for calibration and then pulled completely into the instrument to read the test strip. Touching the Cassette Test key prompts you to adjust the test table to accept a cassette. Then you touch the START key. You have 8 seconds to draw the sample into a pipette and dispense it into the sample well of the cassette. The analyzer automatically calibrates and then pulls the table completely into the instrument where the cassette is read. In the Full Test mode for either a Strip Test or Cassette Test, you are prompted to enter an Operator ID, Patient Name and/or Patient ID prior to running a rest.

A Brief Description How do I get results? Results will be displayed on the touch screen and printed (if desired). The results can also be transferred to a computer using a 9-pin null modem serial cable and the RS-232 serial port on the back of the instrument. The analyzer stores results from 200 patient tests. You are able to recall past patient test results on the analyzer using the Recall Results function. How is the analyzer powered? The analyzer can be plugged into an electrical outlet for use on the bench top, or it can be powered by batteries and freely moved from one testing site to another. The batteries fit into an opening on the bottom of the instrument. What about this Operator’s Manual?

the analyzer, use it for your daily Bayer urinalysis and Clinitest immunoassay testing and keep it in good working condition. As you read through the Operator’s Manual, you will find these symbols: NOTES: contain useful tips on using the analyzer. Notes appear in italicized type. CAUTION: should be followed carefully to ensure your analyzer operates correctly and is not damaged. Cautions appear in bold type. In the Operator’s Manual, you will notice some text is in bold/italic or bold. Bold/italic text identifies screen names.

The Operator’s Manual contains the directions you need to unpack Bold text identifies a button (touch – sensitive area) on the screen.

Understanding the Symbols and Display Icons Display Icons The Bayer logo is shown in the top left of the display while some of the system diagnostic tests are being carried out after power-up. There are seven other icons which display in the same position to show the mode of the instrument. They also appear on the selection area for each function. The icons are: Instrument Set Up This is displayed when the instrument is being set up to suit the users’ requirements. Strip Test (e.g., Multistix 10SG) Shown when a test is being carried out using a reagent strip for urinalysis, and when results are displayed following a strip test. Cassette Test (e.g., Clinitest hCG) Displayed when a cassette test is being carried out and when results are shown after a cassette test. Results recall Used to show that results are being recalled from the instrument’s memory. Printer This icon is displayed when results are being printed. Data transfer to Personal Computer Shows that data, including results, is being transferred to a PC. Alert Used when an error is being displayed.

There are two icons which may appear in the title bar. Battery power This has a maximum of four segments which show the level of battery power. It will be shown in the top right corner of the title bar when the instrument is battery powered. Paper-out Appears in the top of the title bar when the printer paper/label roll needs replacing.

6 Inserting Test Strip Table Insert the test strip table into the analyzer by holding it by the end opposite the white calibration bar and with the white bar facing up. Push the test table into the analyzer, pushing it in just over halfway. Do not touch the white calibration bar.

7 Loading Test Table Insert The test table insert adapts for use with a Bayer urinalysis strip or Clinitest immunoassay cassette. One side is used for a strip test and the other side is used for a cassette test.

8 Interfacing to a Computer The instrument can send results to a computer via the serial port located on the back of the analyzer. This requires a 9-pin null modem serial cable that can be purchased separately at an electronics store or from your Bayer Representative (for a list of suppliers see Appendix A, Local Technical Support Providers and Distributors).

Unpacking & Set Up Powering Down

Powering Down 1. Before turning the analyzer off, always ensure that there is no strip or cassette on the test table and that the table and insert are clean. 2. Press the on/off button for at least 2 seconds. The test table will retract into the analyzer. If there is no strip or cassette on the test table, the door will close and the analyzer will switch off. If a strip or cassette is still on the test table, the test table will be pushed out and the analyzer will turn off. The test table will remain out. In order to retract the test table into the analyzer, turn the analyzer on, and then off (without a strip or cassette on the test table).

Interacting with the Touch Screen Screens

How to Touch the Screens The screen needs to be touched lightly in the touch-sensitive area to activate a response.

Where to Touch the Screens There are three types of areas that respond to touching the screen. • Round Buttons • Boxed Areas • Scroll Arrows

Round Buttons These buttons typically appear on screens that require a selection among several items. The button with a filled circle is the current selection.

If a touched area does not respond as expected, slide your finger across the appropriate selection area. Use of anything hard or pointed on the touch screen may cause damage.

Round Buttons

To change your selection, touch an unfilled circle. The newly selected circle (button) will now be highlighted. You then touch the Next button to move to the next screen. In order to proceed, you will always touch the box with a rightpointed arrow labeled Next. In order to go back, you will always touch the box with a leftpointed arrow. These “back” option boxes vary in title.
