 A Introduction

A Introduction
Due to software changes, some screens on the instrument may appear
slightly different from those in this manual.

What does the analyzer do?

The DocUReader 2 analyzer is a lightweight instrument for reading LabStrip
U11 Plus urinalysis strips. It is a reflectance photometer that analyzes the
intensity and color of light reflected from the reagent areas of the strip. It is
designed for In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) use by qualified physicians and
laboratory staff; however no special training is required to operate the
instrument.
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
automatically started, printed and transferred.
Alternatively, you have the option to enter the Sample ID, Patient ID, and
color, clarity of the specimen manually. This added information will be reported
along with the test results. The system also allows full customization to
determine which fields appear on the printouts. You can also enable the user
management features, thus the Operator ID is also recorded with the test
results. The advanced security functions may also prevent unauthorized use
through configurable settings. Remember, these features can be set
independently.
The touch screen displays instructions and prompts you through the operation
of the analyzer. In addition, you enter information through the touch screen.
The optional barcode reader and external keyboard are also available for
accurate data entry to reduce transcription errors.

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.

C System description

C System description

C.1 Measuring principle

The test strip is moved below a fixed measurement unit on a slide called test
strip tray with an embedded reference pad. The analyzer reads the reference
pad, followed by each of the test pads on the strip.
The optical unit contains four LEDs that emit light at various wavelengths.
Reading is done electro-optically, as follows:

Figure 1: Principle of measurement

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.

E Use of the instrument

E Use of the instrument

All inputs are done via the touch screen (if no external keyboard or barcode
reader is attached).

E.1 Screens
The touch screen guides you through the operation of the DocUReader 2
analyzer. The screen displays messages, instructions and options to which you
respond by touching the appropriate area on the screen.
The screen layout can be divided into three main areas:
(1) Header: Displays important system
information, like date&time, user ID (PRO),
queue and status line messages.

The color background of the status bar

changes with the state of the system. Yellow
means warning, red means error.

The active errors and warnings can be

listed by pressing the status bar area.

(2) Content navigation: Indicates the main

and subsections in which you are working. It
gives you a way to keep track of your location
within the program. The » sign serves as
hierarchy separator. Screen 5: Layout

(3) Content area: Main operation area

The first main screen you see is the Measure screen. In the work area you can
facilitate a measurement, review the last result, handle the worklist, cycle
through the worklist items and go to the QC, Main and Data screens.
In some cases, the screen will also display instructions, messages or error
messages.

E.2 Interacting with the touch screen

How to touch the display
The screen needs to be touched gently, but firmly in the touch-sensitive area
to activate a response. The touch-screen can be operated while wearing
gloves.
Never use a hard or sharp object to operate the touch screen as they
can damage the screen.

A separate foil layer is attached to screen in order to prevent liquid leakage

into the system.

By default the sound is switched on. A successful touch event is also

confirmed with a short beep signal.

 E Use of the instrument

E.2.1 Touch screen calibration

When touch screen calibration is required?
The instrument’s touch screen is properly calibrated in the factory. However it
may be necessary to recalibrate the touch screen. If you go to touch a
particular button of the screen and nothing happens, or another menu pops up,
your touch screen is not calibrated correctly.
How to calibrate the touch screen of the DocUReader 2?
While the instrument starts (during the boot sequence), a progress bar shows
the boot procedure. When the green signs appear, press the display and hold it
until the yellow screen appears to start the calibration process.
To calibrate the touch screen you have to touch the screen at the center of
each crosshair subsequently at each corner and finally the center of the screen.
Background information
Touch screen input devices are actually entirely separate devices from the
display screens that they overlay. As a result, there is no built-in relationship
between the coordinates of a spot on the display screen and the coordinates
sensed when someone touches directly over that spot. Instead, the software
for the touch screen interface must learn which spots on the touch sensor
overlay which spots on the screen. This is called touch screen calibration.

E.3 Data input: Barcode reader, keyboard

External accessories, like keyboard and barcode reader may not only speed up
the sample management process, but the accurate data entry reduces the
transcription errors as well.

Using a barcode reader: connect the barcode reader to the PS2 jack or USB
port at the rear side of the instrument. The barcode reader can be used to
enter the following information: sample ID, patient ID, QC LOT number,
registration code, strip LOT number. Power is supplied by the barcode reader
interface. The barcode reader shall support ALT mode.

Before using the barcode please do not forget to set its interface selection to
ALT mode. The following types were successfully tested with DocUReader 2:
• CipherLab CL1000
• DataLogic QuickScan I QD2100
• Datalogic Touch 65 Pro
• Intermec Scanplus 1800 SR

Using a standard PC-keyboard: Connect the keyboard to the PS/2 jack or

USB port at the rear side of the instrument.
User inputs on the keyboard may not only serve to enter data into sample
fields (i.e. sample ID, patient ID, etc.).

23 / 85
E Use of the instrument
Entering data for input fields (Sample ID, Patient ID, Operator ID, etc.)
When an input field is active enter the data directly with the keyboard, no
shortcut button is required. To delete a character, use backspace. To
cancel the input and move back to the previous screen, press Escape. To
accept the entered value and to move to the next screen press Enter.

You can also use keys to navigate between

screens or to perform actions as an alternative
to using the touch-screen.
To show the shortcuts on the screen press Ctrl,
the shortcut key will be displayed on the top left
corner of each button.
To execute the command, press the desired
character on the keyboard (you may keep the Ctrl
button pressed or release it before, the system
will work both ways).
Another option to cycle through the buttons is to
use the Tab key. When the Tab key is pressed the
'focus' cycles through the buttons forward. To
cycle backward, use Shift+Tab key together. Screen 6: Keyboard shortcuts

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.

G.2 Test features and customization

The testing process can be customized to the need of the laboratory. The
measurement feature settings define what activities related to testing process
(start) are automatically performed by the instrument. The measurement

31 / 85
G Testing
settings define the activities performed by the analyzer and the collected
information.

G.2.1 Features: Autostart, -print, -transfer and fast mode

The measurement features can be modified on the
Main»Options»User Options screen.

Autostart: if enabled, measurement is automatically started (without further

user interaction) if a strip is placed on the test strip tray. By using this feature
the instrument can operate “touchless” (if all the additional data fields are
disabled). Default value: enabled.
Auto print: if enabled, the analyzer automatically prints the report of each
measurement. Default value: enabled.
Auto transfer: if enabled the analyzer automatically transfers the result to the
defined output (i.e. through the serial port to an LIS). Default value: disabled.
NOTE: These features can be modified by any operator and stored separately for
each operator (PRO)

Fast mode (serial reading): if enabled, the test strip is measured directly after
Measure is pressed on the Measurement screen (note: in fast mode the
large start button is renamed to Measure and the background is changed to
orange).
In this case, it is up to the user to time the incubation period outside the
analyzer. When working in Fast Mode, ensure that you have a foolproof system
for matching sequence numbers to samples.

The status of fast mode cannot be saved. After logout or system restart the
analyzer always starts in Normal mode.

When performing serial measurements in Fast Mode, allow the strips

to react for approximately 60 seconds before inserting them in the
analyzer and pressing MEASURE. False-low or false-negative results may
be obtained for some parameters if the reaction time is too short.
Likewise, false-high results may be obtained for some parameters if the
incubation time outside the analyzer is too long.

The option to enable Fast mode only appears on the User options screen, if this
option is enabled on the Settings»Measurement screen.

32 / 85
 G Testing
G.2.2 Customization of testing
On the Settings»Measurement screen you can
customize which fields are enabled during
acquisition, to disable fast mode at the system
level or to allow analysis of (partially) dry strips
and modify the settings. You can set the display
units here as well.

By default all extra fields are disabled and the

display unit is set to conv-arbitr.

Screen 7: Settings » Measurement

Sample ID: The system by default assigns each reading with a consecutive
sequence number having a maximum of 7 digits. If the sample ID is enabled,
you have the option to replace the automatic ID and manually set the sample
ID during the test.

Patient ID: If enabled, you can set the patient ID during the test.

Color: If enabled, you can set the visually observed color of the sample during
the test.

Clarity: If enabled, you can set the visually observed clarity of the sample
during the test.

Fast mode enabled: If enabled, the Fast mode button is operational, so fast
mode can be enabled in User Options. If disabled, the analyzer is not allowed
to operate in fast mode.

Dry strip only warning: If enabled, the result of a (partially) dry strip with
pad values is saved in the database with a warning comment. If disabled,
(partially) dry strip results are only saved with an error code.

Display units: changes the display units on system level. Selectable options:

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:

Feature Outcome When

slipped strip R3 3 times
(partially) dry strip R2 after testing
R3
upside-down strip R3 before incubation period
background light too strong R2 during measurement
R3

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’).

Partially dry strip

The evaluation takes place after the measurement based on the reflectance
data of the last pad. Based on the configuration settings (see  G.2.2
Customization of testing) the result is saved either with a flag (R2) or an error
code (R3).

I Quality Control Testing

I Quality Control Testing

The performance of the system (analyzer and reagent test strips) should be
monitored regularly to ensure reliable results are obtained. To determine the
frequency of quality control, consult your facility’s quality control policy.
The following possibilities are offered to perform QC tests:
Type Controls Available
Check strip Analyzer
Urine Control Reagent test strips Analyzer PRO only
2 or 3 levels

Several commercial controls are available. Controls may vary in number of

levels or components, necessity for reconstitution or ready to use, type and
volume of container. 77 Elektronika Kft. supports the use of Quantimetrix
Corporation Dipstick Controls as these controls provide the necessary color
development with LabStrip U11 Plus strip. Other manufacturers’ controls may
provide abnormal results due to non-specific colorations of the test pads.

After the occurrence of an accidental event (drops, spills, splashes),

even if visible damage is not seen, verify the performance of the reader
with the check strip.

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.

In order to perform the necessary steps:

1. To configure the system QC settings select
Options»Settings»QC Options. I.1 QC Options
The urine control LOT number and acceptance limits can be set at the
same place. I.1.1 Editing QC

the analyzer Quality Control settings can be
configured:
• enable/disable QC lockout,
• set the QC lockout interval in days,
• type of QC lockout (warning or forced),
• define the type of control solution (2 or 3
levels),
• edit the QC solutions LOT data.
The lockout mode offers the opportunity to
ensure a QC-check latest every determined
interval using control solutions.
If the lockout mode is activated, the instrument
will be released for measurements for the Screen 15: QC Options
determined timeframe once a successful QC check
has been performed.
To enable the QC lockout and set the interval:
• use the right and left arrows, or
• press the grey input area, use the numeric input and apply.

If you apply changes to the QC lockout period, a popup window appears with
the modified lockout time.

The lockout mode can be

• warning

If the limit is passed, the status bar

background is changed to orange and a
warning message is displayed.
• forced

If the time limit is passed, the status bar

background is changed to red and an
error message is displayed. In this case
the measurement feature will be blocked
until a new successful QC check has been
performed. Screen 16: Forced L2 QC

2) three level urine control solutions (L3: negative/normal, low and high
positive/abnormal).

If strong user security is applied ( K.14.2 Modifying security settings) the

normal users are not able to modify the QC settings, so the QC policy determined
by the system administrator will be forced. However if the analyzer is locked out
and you need to make a measurement immediately without performing the QC
check first, the lockout mode can be switched off only by an Administrator.

I.1.1 Editing QC LOT information

The QC evaluation relies on the manually inputted data. Verify the

values prior usage.

Press the Edit QC LOT button on the QC options

screen to set the QC Urine Control solution LOT
numbers and their acceptance limits.
1) On the next screen select the control level
(L1, L2, L3) and press the Next button.
2) On the next screen set the LOT code (you
may also include the expiry date) and press
the Next button. If a LOT code is
already stored for the actual level, its value
will appear in the input field.
3) On the last screen set the acceptance limits
for the selected level of the LOT.

Please note that the software does not Screen 17: Select QC Level

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.

We recommend using the Dipper, the Dropper or the Dip&Spin control

solution kits from Quantimetrix Inc. to carry out the QC-Check. Controls of other
manufacturers may provide abnormal results due to non-specific colorations of the
test pads.

Place the strip on the tray and press

• "… Solution 1" for negative control,
• "… Solution 2" for positive control,
• or "… Solution 3" in case of Level 3 for high positive control,
depending on the control you are currently testing.
If the QC LOT and its limits were already set at the QC settings, the analyzer
offers the QC LOT code. Press the Next button.

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.

I.3 Recall QC Results

All QC measurements are stored in the QC memory, which is separated from
the memory for the patients’ measurements. The DocUReader 2 has memory
for 500 (PRO 1000) QC measurements.
See H. Recall Results for more information on how to recall and view results
from a database.

Only the additional information specific to QC the database is described in this

chapter.

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.

• strip type and LOT code information,
• output settings.

The following functions can also be reached from

this screen:
• Registration Code,
• Strip LOT,
• View Settings,
• User Options (auto features; fast mode;
sound; LCD brightness),
• Instrument Settings.
Screen 19: Options

J.1 Registration Code

The encoded registration code contains strip related information allowing the
DocUReader 2 analyzer to control the evaluation precisely:
• expiry date of LOT,
• calibration information for the particular LOT (possible sensitivity
adjustment for each pad determined by the manufacturer),
• maximum counts of measurements allowed with the given calibration.
Calibration is required to obtain proper results.

Please note, that a vial of test strips and calibration are co-related.

The Registration Code screen shows the expiry date and the remaining
counts.
When opening a new shipment or a vial of strip, the registration/calibration
card can be found in the package. The unique registration code is affixed to the
registration card and it is valid for 1/10/20 vials.
To enter the numeric code on the card press New Registration Code button.
Either type in the 15 digit number or input the information using a barcode
reader. After successful registration the number of available tests is set to the
value of the registration code.

Please note, that the remaining quantity from the previous code will be
disabled! If later you want to re-use a previous code, you only have to enter it
again and the remaining quantity will be restored again.

J.2 Strip LOT

Push the Strip LOT button on the Options screen to set the LOT information of
the strip. It is also possible to set the expiry date after the LOT code.

49 / 85
J Options menu
The following special characters are allowed for input together with numbers:
hyphen '-', dot '.', forward slash '/', space '_' and round brackets '(' ')'.
This information is stored with every measurement, until it is changed
manually.

Please note that the LOT code and expiry date values are semantically not
checked by the software. Also as the registration code does not contain the strip
LOT code, the software cannot check if the LOT code is correct. Please double
check the LOT code in order to avoid typos.

J.3 View Settings

The View settings screen shows all settings including user options as well.
Use the down and up buttons to scroll through the settings. The analyzer
settings can be printed out using the button.

J.4 User Options

Most of the settings on the User options screen are related to the testing
procedure except Sound and LCD brightness.
Autostart: if enabled, measurement is automatically started (without further
user interaction) if a strip is placed on the test strip tray. By using this feature
the instrument can operate “touchless” (if all the additional data fields are
disabled). Default value: enabled.
Auto print: if enabled the analyzer automatically prints the report of each
measurement. Default value: enabled.
Auto transfer: if enabled the analyzer automatically transfers the result to the
defined output (i.e. through the serial port to an LIS). Default value: disabled.
NOTE: These features can be modified by any operator and stored separately for
each operator (PRO)

Fast mode (serial reading): if enabled, the test strip is measured directly after
Measure is pressed on the Measurement screen (note: in fast mode the
large start button is renamed to Measure and the background is changed to
orange).
In this case, it is up to the user to time the incubation period outside the
analyzer. When working in Fast Mode, ensure that you have a foolproof system
for matching sequence numbers to samples.

The status of fast mode cannot be saved. After logout or system restart the
analyzer always starts in Normal mode.

When performing serial measurements in Fast Mode, allow the strips

to react for approximately 60 seconds before inserting them in the
analyzer and pressing MEASURE. False-low or false-negative results may
be obtained for some parameters if the reaction time is too short.
Likewise, false-high results may be obtained for some parameters if the
incubation time outside the analyzer is too long.

The option to enable Fast mode only appears on the User options screen, if this
option is enabled on the Settings»Measurement screen.

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.

4. Self-add with password

Login with operator password for measurement; system settings are protected.
Users can add themselves as 'user' level operators at login, however it is
mandatory for them to select a password. Audit trail applies.

To enable full customization for security settings select Custom on the
»Operators»Security screen and press the Customize button, which takes
you to the »Operators»Custom screen

The definitions of the switches are the following:

auto login:
If active, the user may use the 'auto login' feature to operate the analyzer
without logging into the system. Identification of the user is not forced in this
case as the 'autologin' operator can be used by anyone.
If active, the granted right level of the 'auto login' mainly determines the
security level of the system applied.
To login with 'autologin' operator, leave blank the login name field ('Enter
Operator name') and simply press the Apply button.

self add operators at login:

If active, the user can create a new arbitrary operator name at login (if the
login name does not already exist in the user database).

login without password:

If active, no password usage is automatically forced for each operator. New
operators login into the system without a password (the system does not ask
to set it).
If, however, a password has been already set for a particular operator, that
operator can only be logged in with her/his login name & password
combination.

operators on login screen:

If active, a maximum of four operators’ names are displayed on the login
screen.
Supervisor group operators cannot be listed on the login screen.

LIS2 operator list check4:

If active, the operators defined on the LIS can be used also too.

LIS2 only:
If active, only the operators defined on the LIS can be used (except the
operators with supervisor level).
If active, the following switches are automatically disabled: 'auto login', ' self
add operators at login', ' login without password '.

These switches can be mixed to create the desired security level.

If enabled, the 'login without password' and 'operators on login screen' can be
separately modified for each operator.

D: login name may be displayed on the login screen

Predefined special operators

The user rights of the autologin and self operators can be modified
only by the Supervisor group.

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.

Full database and config clear.:

Special user to reset the whole system.

Can be used in case of system lock-out (i.e. lost supervisor password),

corrupted database or to create a fresh system.

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

L Cleaning & Maintenance

As a general preventive action, always keep the outside of the DocUReader 2
analyzer clean and free of dust.

L.1 Cleaning the analyzer

When the analyzer is turned off, wipe the outside (including the display) with a
damp (not wet) cloth and a mild detergent. Be sure that no liquid enters the
analyzer.
Do not use any type of solvent, oil, grease, silicone spray, or
lubrication on the analyzer.

Care should be taken to avoid liquid entering the printer

compartment.

Recommended, tested cleaning agents: Isorapid (20 g Ethanol, 28 g 1-

Propanol, 0.1 g Quaternary ammonium compounds), Trigene Advance Laboratory
0.5, 1% solution, Barrycidal 33 2%

L.2 Cleaning the test strip tray

The test strip should be kept clean if the analyzer is to operate properly.
The reference pad (1) is integrated into the tray,
the transparent optical window (2) serves for
automatic strip recognition purpose.

Always wear protective gloves when

handling the test strip tray.

Picture 12: Test strip tray

At the end of each day, clean the tray using the following procedure:

1 Turn off the DocUReader 2 and slowly pull the

test strip tray out of the analyzer.

2 Rinse the contaminated parts of the test strip

tray under running water and then clean it with 70
% isopropyl alcohol.

Care should be taken not to scratch the

grey reference pad.

3 Dry the tray with a lint-free wipe.

4 Reinsert the test strip tray into the analyzer by

the opposite the grey reference pad, with the
reference pad facing upwards. Push the tray firmly

but slowly, just over when the reference pad
disappears in the housing.

66 / 85
 L Cleaning & Maintenance

Ensure that the tray is completely clean and dry before reinserting.

Do not push the tray fully into the analyzer as the tray may become
jammed and prevent the use of the analyzer.

5 When the analyzer is turned on the self-check begins automatically and

verifies that the reference pad is in good condition. If not, an error message
will be displayed.

L.2.1 Reference pad check

In normal use, the grey reference pad should not become dirty or discolored.
When the test strip tray is removed, visually inspect the reference pad during
the routine cleaning procedure.
If it is dirty or discolored, gently wipe and clean it with a new cotton-tipped
stick or lint-free cloth moistened with distilled water.
Allow the calibration bar to air dry and then inspect the surface for foreign
material, scratches or scuffs. If the calibration bar cannot be cleaned or is still
marked, obtain a new test table.

(Class II protection).
Opening covers or removing parts of the instrument, except where this can be
achieved manually without the use of any tools, may expose voltage-carrying
components. Connectors can be live, too. Never try to maintain or repair an
open instrument which is carrying voltage.
If you suspect that the instrument can no longer be operated safely, turn it off
and take steps to ensure that no one will subsequently attempt to use it. Make
sure that only trained members of staff operate the DocUReader 2 analyzer.
Any personal computer to which the analyzer is connected must meet the EN
60950, UL 60950/CSA C22.2 No. 60950 requirements for data processing
equipment.
Only connect the intended external devices with safety low voltages to the
corresponding interfaces (serial, PS2, USB, Ethernet) to avoid the risk of
electrical shock or the risk of damaging the devices or the analyzer.
If the instrument is to be taken out of operation entirely and disposed of, it
must be disposed of in conformity with the relevant legal regulations and in co-
ordination with your local authority, if appropriate.
Please note that the instrument may potentially be infectious. Equipment must
be decontaminated before repair, maintenance, or removal from the
laboratory.
The data and information contained in this manual are accurate at the
time of printing. Any substantial changes will be incorporated in the next

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.
