Clinitek Status Basic Service Manual

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION

2 OF 8

1.1 Introduction This manual is to be used in conjunction with the Clinitek Status Operator’s Manual in performing routine troubleshooting and service on an instrument. Each section of the service manual is dedicated to specific areas of interest: General features, methods overview, troubleshooting, error code descriptions, repair, functional diagrams, and parts breakdown. Any future service information or instrument revisions would be covered through service bulletins and/or revisions of this manual. The CLINITEK® Status instrument is a small, portable urine chemistry analyzer capable of reading a range of Bayer Urine Reagent Strips along with the Bayer Clinitest hCG Immunoassay Cassette. It was developed as a next generation instrument combining features of the CLINITEK® 50 along with the CLINITEK® 100 plus the ability to read and interpret immunoassay cassette tests.

METHODS OVERVIEW

2 OF 2

2.1 Introduction The CLINITEK® Status instrument is a reflectance photometer, which reads the changes in color of the Bayer urine reagent strips and immunoassay cassettes. A series of six light emitting diodes (LED) each at a different wavelength illuminates the entire strip or cassette length. Reflected light from the strip is then passed through a lens and focused on a photodiode detector array (CCD) which then converts the light energy into an electronic signal. This signal is then passed through an A/D converter and then onto a microprocessor. Once there, the signal is processed into percent reflectances and then decodes. These decode values are compared to lookup tables containing specific decode ranges for each reagent and their respective clinical values. Results are reported to the customer via the touch screen, onboard printer, and/or through a computer interface. For methods used on the urine reagent strips and immunoassay cassettes, refer to their specific product inserts.

4.2 Urinalysis Strip Test A Full Strip Test allows you the option to enter an Operator ID, Patient Name and/or Patient ID prior to inserting a strip. The procedures to enter the Operator and Patient data are presented in this section. The strip testing process is identical to a Quick Strip Test. Testing is started from the main Select screen.

Touch Strip Test to conduct a Bayer urinalysis strip test. The next screen that appears is Operator ID.

NEXT

OPERATIONS / PROCEDURES

4 OF 18

There are two options under Operator ID: Last Operator or Enter New Operator ID. OPTION 1: LAST OPERATOR If this option is enabled, the last operator that entered his/her ID will be displayed on the screen in the lower right side of the box. If you are this operator, then touch the Last Operator button to proceed. OPTION 2: ENTER NEW OPERATOR ID In order to enter the information for a new operator, touch Enter New Operator ID button. The next screen that is displayed is Enter Operator ID.

NEXT

OPERATIONS / PROCEDURES

6 OF 18

OPTION 1: RECALL PATIENT In order to look up previous patients, touch Recall Patient.

If previous patient identification has been entered, a list of up to 200 patient results will appear on the screen. Use the up and down arrow buttons to scroll through the list of patients. The most recently performed test will be shown at the top. Once the patient is highlighted, touch Select button. The next screen will be Prepare Test. NOTE: A total of 200 patient tests can be stored in the analyzer. The tests are listed in chronological order. When the limit of 200 has been reached, the oldest test will be deleted from the analyzer. Deleted information cannot be retrieved from the analyzer.

OPTION 2: ENTER NEW PATIENT In order to enter the information for a new patient, touch Enter New Patient button. The next screen displayed is Enter Patient Name.

Use the keyboards to enter Patient Name using a maximum of 20 characters. Touch Enter when you have finished entering the patient’s name and to proceed to the next screen.

The next screen that appears is Prepare Test. While the strip is being analyzed, a Select Appearance screen will be displayed. The urine sample must be visually observed and then the appropriate color and clarity must be selected. NEXT

OPERATIONS / PROCEDURES
