Section 1 Introduction
The Reactif Touch Urine Analyzer is a portable, easy to use analyzer. It is designed to read
only Reactif Urinalysis Reagent Strips.

The analyzer can be plugged into an electrical outlet and used on a bench top. It can also
be powered by batteries to be able to freely move the analyzer from one testing site to
another.

The instrument performs a system test each time it is turned on. It automatically calibrates
each time a test is run.

Results are displayed on the touchscreen and can be printed (if desired). The results can
also be transferred to a computer using an RS232 serial port or USB port on the back of the
instrument. The analyzer stores results from 2000 patient tests and is able to recall past
patient test results using the Records Review function.

Note: Keys on the touchscreen are listed in bold. Display items on the screen and set-
tings are listed in bold italics in this manual.

Intended Use
The Reactif Touch Urine Analyzer is intended for use in conjunction with the Reactif
Urinalysis Reagent Strips for the semi-quantitative detection of the following analytes in
urine: Glucose, Bilirubin, Ketone (Acetoacetic acid), Specific Gravity, Blood, pH, Protein,
Urobilinogen, Nitrite, Leukocytes, Ascorbic Acid, Albumin, Creatinine, Calcium, Pro-
tein-to-Creatinine Ratio, and Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio. The instrument is intended for
professional, in vitro diagnostic use only.

This Instruction Manual contains directions to unpack the analyzer, for Reactif Urinalysis
Reagent Strip testing, and how to keep it in good working condition. Throughout the
Operator’s Manual, these symbols can be seen:

Note: The display may be disinfected using the same solutions as the test table
(see earlier in this section). Wipe the solution on and leave on for 10 minutes.
Wipe clean using a clean cloth dampened with water, then dry.

Changing Batteries
The Reactif Touch Urine Analyzer is designed to run the maximum number of tests
(approximately 100 with the printer OFF) from a set of batteries. To achieve this, the
Power Save feature is always activated when the instrument is powered by batteries.

If the instrument is not used for 3 minutes when battery-powered, it will automatically
power down.

A battery power icon is shown in the bottom right corner of the initial screen when the
analyzer is being powered by batteries. The number of segments displayed represents
the amount of power remaining in the batteries.

When the power is reduced, but testing can continue, an advisory message will be
displayed on the initial screen. The analyzer will stop testing after only 10 strips when
the power is low.

Caution: If you do not change the batteries and the level becomes too low to power
the analyzer, the error will become critical and all selection areas on the
screen will be disabled until the batteries are replaced.

61
 Remove the test table from the analyzer. Place the analyzer on its side. Open the battery
cover by sliding the tab away from the cover. Place the 6 AA Alkaline batteries into the
analyzer. Close the battery cover and turn the instrument back onto its base.

Advisory Messages
Errors of less importance will be presented via a message on the initial screen. After
taking corrective action, the message will be removed from the display. If more than one
of this class of errors occurs, clearing one message will enable the next to be displayed in
order of importance to a user.

Results Alert
If an error occurs during testing and the test cannot continue because of the error, the
error will be presented via the Results Alert screen. This screen will provide details of
the error and show that the test has been cancelled. The test table will be extended so
that the urinalysis strip can be removed.

Battery Power Icon

The battery icon indicates the power level of the battery. When the battery power
level is reduced, the analyzer will still continue to test with only an advisory message
displayed on the initial screen. If the battery level falls too low to power the analyzer, all

selection areas on the display will be disabled until the batteries are replaced. For inst-
ructions regarding how to change the batteries, refer to Changing Batteries in Section 10
Cleaning and Maintenance.

Paper-out Icon
A paper icon will flash in the bottom of the title bar when the printer paper/label roll
needs replacing. An advisory message will be displayed on the initial screen. Replace
with new paper or label roll, as instructed in Loading the Printer Paper or Label Roll of
Section 3 Initial Startup.

Dashes in Displays
Dashes are displayed in the Results screens and on printouts when no text has been
entered for a field enabled in the Section 7 Analyzer Setup.

Dashes may appear next to Color and Clarity on test result printouts. This occurs when
the instrument is powered by batteries. Color and Clarity are selected in the Analyzer
Setup, but no selections have been recorded on the Select Appearance screens before
time-out.

The time-out on these screens is designed to ensure that battery life is preserved. The
Color and Clarity description may be added to the printout in writing, if needed.

Irregular or Slow Movement of Test Table

If movement of the test table is irregular or slow, this may be caused by:

1. Heavy buildup of dried urine on the test table. Clean the test table and insert as
described in Section 10 Cleaning and Maintenance, Periodic Cleaning of Test Table.

2. Low battery power. Replace the batteries as described in Section 10, Cleaning and
Maintenance.

 Appendix 6 Safety Information
Protection from Biohazards.

This information summarizes the established guidelines for laboratory biohazards. This
summary is based on the guidelines developed by the Centers for Disease Control, the
Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, and the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration.

Use this summary for general information only. It is not intended to replace or supple-
ment your laboratory or hospital biohazard control procedures.

By definition, a biohazardous condition is a situation involving infectious agents biologi-

cal in nature, such as the hepatitis B virus, the human immunodeficiency virus, and the
tuberculosis bacterium. These infectious agents may be present in human blood, blood
products, and in other body fluids.

The following are the major sources of contamination when handling potentially infecti-
ous agents:

• Needlesticks
• Hand-to-mouth contact
• Hand-to-eye contact
• Direct contact with superficial cuts, open wounds, and other skin conditions that
may permit absorption into subcutaneous skin layers
• Splashes or aerosol contact with skin and eyes

To prevent accidental contamination in a clinical laboratory, strictly adhere to the follo-

wing procedures:
• Wear gloves while servicing parts of the system that have contact with body fluids,
such as serum, plasma, urine, or whole blood.
• Wash your hands before going from a contaminated area to a non-contaminated
area, or when you remove or change gloves.
• Perform procedures carefully to minimize aerosol formation.
• Wear facial protection when splatter or aerosol formation is possible.
• Wear personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, gloves, lab coats, or
aprons when working with possible biohazard contaminants.
• Keep your hands away from your face.
• Cover all superficial cuts and wounds before starting any work.

Reactif Touch
76 nal von minden GmbH · Manual
• Dispose of contaminated materials according to your laboratory’s biohazard control
procedures.
• Keep your work area disinfected.
• Disinfect tools and other items that have been near any part of the system speci-
men path or waste area with 10% v/v bleach.
• Do not eat, drink, smoke, or apply cosmetics or contact lenses while in the laboratory.
• Do not pipette any liquid, including water, by mouth.
• Do not place tools or any other items in your mouth.
• Do not use the biohazard sink for personal cleaning such as rinsing coffee cups or
washing hands.
• Do not recap, purposely bend, cut, break, remove from disposable syringes, or
otherwise manipulate needles by hands. Needlestick injuries may result.
