A Introduction
A Introduction
Due to software changes, some screens on the instrument may appear
slightly different from those in this manual.
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 checks and corrects its performance through the independent
internal sensor.

Unpack the instrument and place it on an even, hard surface (for detailed
installation instructions see D. Unpacking & Set Up). Load the strip tray and
the printer paper.
Connect the power supply and turn the reader on with the On/Off-switch (See
Picture 9: Powering up).
Screen 1: Measurement
• Dip a test stick (LabStrip U11 Plus) into the urine sample for approx.
one second.
• Blot by touching the edge of the strip to a paper towel to remove
excess urine.
• Place the strip on the strip holder
• Slide or push the strip to the end of the channel. Do not touch the
reagent pads on the test strip.
The instrument will automatically detect an applied strip. The measurement
cycle will be started. A progress bar on the display shows the remaining
incubation time.

The LEDs (1) subsequently emit light of a defined wavelength onto the surface
of the test pad (2) from directly above the test zone. The light hitting the test
zone is reflected more or less intensely depending on the degree of color
change of the test pad (directly related to the concentration of the particular
constituent in the urine), and is picked up by the detectors, photodiodes (3)
positioned at optimum angles. The phototransistors send analogue electrical
signal to an A/D converter (4), which changes it to digital form. The
microprocessor (5) then converts this digital reading to a relative reflectance
value by referring it to a calibration standard.
Finally, the system compares the reflectance value with the defined range
limits (reflectance values that are programmed into the analyzer for each
parameter) and outputs a semi-quantitative result (6).
Each test pad is read photometrically after a lead (incubation) time of about
55–65 seconds.

The analyzer can be set up to be as simple or sophisticated as you prefer. You
may simply insert a dipped urinalysis strip into the analyzer and the result will
be reported. By modifying the user options the measurements can be started,
printed and transferred automatically.
Alternatively, you have the option to enter the Sample ID, Patient ID, and
color, clarity of the specimen manually (See G.2 Test features and
customization). The walkthrough for full testing is found in G.3 Full Test.
The analyzer can be operated in two different modes:
1. In normal mode, the system automatically waits for the strip to
incubate for 1 minute before it reads the first test pad. This is the
default mode and the throughput in this mode is approximately 50
strips per hour.
2. In fast mode, which can be selected at User Options, the test strip is
measured directly after starting the test. In this case, it is up to the
user to time the incubation period outside the analyzer (see G.2.1).
If you require more information regarding use and storage of test strips,
please refer to the strip’s instructions of use.
The Measurement screen can also be directly reached from the Main and
Database screens

G.2.3 Strip checking events
Errors in sample handling and testing procedure may lead to false results. In
order to further improve the diagnostic decision making process advanced strip
recognition features were introduced in DocUReader 2.
The outcome of these features is categorized into three groups:
R1. Measurement is not started
R2. Result is saved with a warning flag
R3. Result is saved with an error code
The analyzer automatically recognizes the following events during testing:
If the result is saved with a flag, the pad values are listed and the code and the
description of the flag is inserted into a new comment field of the result. To
search for results with a warning flag, use the "with comment" extra filter in
the database (see H.3 Filtering: How to find specific results). Please note
that this filter will also list results with comments inserted by the user.
If the result is saved with an error, only the error code is visible. To search for
results with an error code, use the "false meas." extra filter in the database.
Slipped strip
The front of the test strip has to be at the leading edge of the test strip tray.
Systems checks for misposition:
1. Before the incubation time: warning window is displayed with two
choices: 1. drop testing and restart with new strip; 2. reposition strip
and repeat measurement. Choice is available during the incubation
time.
2. Before the measurement: warning window is displayed with two
choices, but repeating is limited for 10 seconds. In case of successful
repositioning the result will be flagged as ’Overincubate’ (R2). After 10
seconds only 'cancel testing' option is available.
3. After the measurement (R3): result is stored with an error code
(’Measurement error: strip position error’).

I Quality Control Testing
The supplied check strip can be used only as a mechanism to confirm the
functionality of the analyzer. This is the only QC functionality offered for the
base DocUReader 2.
The use of urine controls is highly recommended particularly in the following
situations:
a) monthly on each open bottle,
b) if a new bottle of test strips is opened,
c) if test results are in doubt,
d) if new operators are trained on the system.
The urine control solutions are analyzed using a regular urine test strip in an
identical manner to a patient sample.
The QC procedure can be divided into 3 phases:
1. Configuring the system: setting urine control level, forced QC, QC
lockout.
2. Setting the urine control LOT number and the acceptance limits.
3. Performing QC testing at defined intervals.

I.2 QC Testing
To perform a quality control measurement go to the Measurement»QC
screen. The color coding of the QC measurement buttons is the following:
A. QC lockout is disabled:
o grey: not measured,
o green: valid measurement was performed while in the QC Meas
menu
o red: invalid measurement was performed while in the QC Meas
menu
B. QC lockout is enabled:
o grey: not measured,
o green: valid measurement was performed within the time limit
o red: invalid measurement was performed within the time limit
You can start either with a negative or with a positive control. Apply the control
to the strip according to the instructions of the control solutions and the
LabStrip U11 Plus test strips.
The QC LOT code can be modified here as well. If a new LOT code is given, its
acceptance limits have to be set as well, so the limits table will appear on the next
screen.
After measurement, the QC result is displayed with the result of the evaluation.
• If the QC measurement is successful, PASSED text is displayed after
the QC result Id. Returning back to the main QC screen, the measured
solution’s button background is changed to green.
• If the QC measurement has failed, red FAILED text is displayed after
the QC result Id. Returning back to the main QC screen, the measured
solution’s button background is changed to red.
Repeat the same procedure with the other solution(s).
After all required solution levels have been successfully measured (all
"…Solution…" buttons are green), the analyzer is released until the lockout
time is reached and a popup window appears with the modified lockout time.
The remaining lockout time together with the date is displayed in the
information windows of the Main screen.

The maximum displayed negative value is -90. It may mean that more than
90 days has passed since the limit or a successful QC was never performed.
In the list view the good results have black text, while any failed results have
red text.
In the QC result screen PASSED text is displayed after the good QC result Id,
while red FAILED text is displayed after the failed QC result Id. For failed QC
solution results the out of range pad results are also marked in red.
The QC solution results have a second page, where the set limits are listed.

K.14.1 Concept: Operator levels
Each consecutive level inherits the rights of the previous level.
User groups Rights
User This is the standard user group. Members of this group can perform
routine actions such as
• worklist management,
• perform test,
• run control,
• report results (printing, exporting),
• modify user options.
Admin Members of the secondary user group can perform all actions of the
primary user group. Additionally they can
• configure the system (modify settings),
• manage users,
• install software updates.
Supervisor Members of the third user group can perform all actions of the
second user group. Additionally they can
• modify the system security settings.
Certain tasks and user controls can be reached and are visible only based on
user rights.
1. Open system
Automatic login without identification and password, free modification of
settings. No security applied: Anyone can perform tests and modify the
settings using the 'autologin' operator.
2. Anonymous usage
Automatic login without identification and password for measurement; system
settings are protected. Users can add themselves as 'user' level operators.
3. Self-add
Users can add themselves as 'user' level operators at login.
5. Secure
Full security applied: only registered users may login. Users can be registered
by administrators ('admin'). Audit trail applies.

In custom security mode further information is displayed in parenthesis after
the user group of the selected operator. The meaning of the abbreviations is:
S: display self result only
L: may login without password (password is not mandatory for this
operator)
D: login name may be displayed on the login screen
autologin:
The 'autologin' operator is a special predefined operator without a password,
if enabled, any user can operate the analyzer logging in with the 'autologin'
operator.
To login with 'autologin' operator, leave blank the login name field ('Enter
Operator name') and simply press the Apply button.
self add:
The 'self add' operator rights define what kind of rights an operator created
by a user will receive, when the 'self add operators at login' feature is
enabled. All self-added operators will inherit the right of the 'self add'
operator.
supervisor:
The 'supervisor' operator is currently not listed in the operator list, however
you login it by typing the login name from the login screen. The supervisor’s
default password is ’1234’.
Currently its password cannot be reset, do not forget the password. Later
there will be a special user which can be used to reset the whole system
(erase users, DB). The service user will also have the right to reset the
supervisor password.
If you enter this name in the login name field, the software will erase all
data, settings, users (excluding registration code). Don’t forget to include the
dot at the end ("Full database and config clear."). The process requires
confirmation.
Prior erase make sure that all previously collected data is already
archived! This step will erase all existing information from the system!

Your DocUReader 2 analyzer will operate properly if you follow the directions
for using and cleaning the instrument.
Advisory messages will be displayed when your attention is required on any
disorder or result of a performed action.
The user interface messages can be categorized into the following groups:
1. Error messages
2. Warning messages
3. Information messages
The active errors and warnings can be listed by pressing the status bar area at
any screen.
Error messages
If an error prevents the instrument from being used, certain selection areas on
the screen will be disabled and testing procedure cannot be started. The
background of the status bar changes to red. Performing the displayed
corrective action will remove the error and allow you to use the instrument and
enable testing.
Warning messages
Errors of less importance are categorized into the warning messages group.
These kinds of errors do not prohibit testing, but may limit certain functionality
(i.e. transfer, printing) of the system. The background of the status bar
changes to orange. These errors do not compromise the testing and the
measurement performance of the system. The resolution of these errors may
include the restart of the system. When you have taken the corrective action,
the message will be removed from the system.
Information messages
Provides a feedback about the successful execution of an action and/or
provides additional information for the operator.
Based on the presentation the display type of the messages are the following:
1. Status line: appears permanently in the status bar
2. Timed pop-up window: a pop-up window is displayed only for a few
seconds, then disappears automatically without operator interaction
3. Pop-up window: a pop-up window requiring confirmation by the

N.4.1 Protecting yourself from biohazards
This information summarizes the established guidelines for handling laboratory
biohazards. Use this summary for general information only. It is not intended
to replace or supplement your laboratory or hospital biohazard control
procedures.
Urine specimens should be handled at Biosafety Level 2 as recommended for
any potentially infectious material in the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention manual, Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories,
20095. Universal (or standard) precautions may apply if the urine is
contaminated with blood or if required by the infection control policy of your
facility.
To prevent accidental contamination in a clinical laboratory, strictly adhere to
the following procedures:
• Wear gloves to protect hands from exposure to hazardous materials.
Change gloves when contaminated, glove integrity is compromised, or
when otherwise necessary. Do not wash or reuse disposable gloves.
• Remove gloves and wash your hands after working with potentially
hazardous materials and before leaving the laboratory.
• Wear personal protective laboratory equipment, such as coats, gowns,
smocks, or uniforms when working with possible hazardous
contaminants. Remove protective clothing before leaving for non-
laboratory areas
• Wear eye and face protection when splatter or aerosol formation are
possible.
• Do not eat, drink, some, handle contact lenses, apply cosmetics or
store food while in the laboratory.
• Do not mouth pipet any liquid; only use mechanical pipetting devices.
• Always handle sharp items with precautions.
• Perform procedures carefully to minimize the creation of splashes or
aerosols.
• Decontaminate work surfaces after completion of work and after any
spill or splash of potentially infectious material with appropriate
disinfectant.
• Dispose of contaminated materials including used personal protective
equipment according to your laboratory’s biohazard control
procedures. Potentially infectious materials must be placed in a
durable, leak proof container during collection, handling, processing,
storage, or transport within a facility.
• The laboratory supervisor must ensure that laboratory personnel
receive appropriate training regarding their duties, the necessary
precautions to prevent exposures, and exposure evaluation
procedures.
