The countdown clock is displayed on the bottom right of the screen. The clock will
start to count down from
65
. The operator has 3 seconds before the triple beep
sounds to immerse the strip into the urine.
Upon hearing the triple beep and/or seeing
the countdown clock reach
62
, completely
immerse the reagent areas of the strip in
fresh, well-mixed urine. Immediately
remove the strip to avoid dissolving the
reagents.
Run the edge of the strip against the rim of
the urine specimen container to remove
excess urine.
Hold the strip in a horizontal position. Bring
the edge of the strip into contact with an
absorbent material (e.g. a paper towel).
This prevents mixing chemicals from
adjacent reagent areas.
Place the strip with the reagent area facing
up, onto the Strip Holder Channel. Make
sure the strip end touches the Strip Holder
Backstop as shown.
