Section 1 Introduction ® The Pro Advantage Urine Analyzer reads urine test strips. It stores results and prints reports without the need for special training. The Pro Advantage® Urine Analyzer runs a self-test each time the power switch is turned on. An optional barcode reader records patient ID. The barcode reader verifies strip canister barcodes. Use only Pro Advantage® Urine Reagent Strips with the canister barcode for correct results.

One canister code can be entered for each Type of Strip, and will be managed independently of other strip types by the analyzer.
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 below.
Note: Timing is set up to process a new strip every 30 seconds. Once START is pressed, the screen will change to the following: 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.
After the first time the countdown clock reaches 1, it will return to 30 instead of 65. A triple beep occurs every 30 seconds. This prompts the operator to immerse a new strip. Discard the used strip according to local regulations. Repeat the above process for additional urine specimens. Press Cancel to stop testing when all tests are done.

Section 6 Data/Communication The RS232 and USB ports can communicate with an external (optional) PC. If Auto-print is On, the printed data on the internal printer is also sent to the RS232 and USB ports. Connect either RS232 or USB cable to the back of the analyzer to a PC with suitable software. For US customers, call customer service toll free at 1-(800)-838-9502 for details on data transfer. For customers outside the US, contact your local distributor.
Section 7 Quality Control Each lab should use its own standard and procedures for performance. Test known positive and negative specimens/controls at the following events in accordance with local, state, and/or federal regulations or accreditation requirements.
Section 8 Maintenance Loading Printer Paper Pull up on the finger pull area marked to open the Printer Cover. Place paper roll in the printer box. The paper comes from the bottom of the roll up into the printer. Caution: The printer will only print on the outside surface of the roll. If placed incorrectly, there will be no printout. For easy printer paper loading, bend the leading edge of the printer paper upward toward the back of the analyzer.
General Cleaning Keep the surface of the instrument free of dust at all times. If needed, the external surfaces may be cleaned using a damp cloth. Do not use any type of solvent, oil, grease, silicone spray, or lubrication on any part of the instrument. Daily Cleaning Remove the Strip Holder Press Start to fully extend the Strip Holder/Mount. Turn off the Power Switch after the Strip Holder/Mount is fully extended.
Return the Strip Holder/Mount to its Internal Position Turn the Power Switch on and wait for the Strip Holder/Mount to move inside the analyzer and stop.
