6.3 Routine Urine Testing
ATTENTION: To ensure that urinalysis is carried out correctly, read the package insert included with the test strips.

®
Urine Analyzer is ready to read when the display shows a sample number and “INSERT STRIP !”.
Procedure
1. Dip the test strip briefly (one second) in the urine sample. Draw the long
edge of the strip along the rim of the specimen container to remove excess
urine. Touch the long edge of the strip to absorbant paper for one second
making sure that each pad is blotted. Always wear protective gloves when
handling and disposing of samples of human origin (see Figure 9).
2. Place the test strip, with the test pads facing upward, on the tray so that its
leading edge is held by the clip at the end of the test strip tray. The retaining
bar must be open (see Figure 10). About 2 mm of strip must be held under
the clip (see Figure 11).
It is important that the strip is correctly positioned and ready to be read
within 5-10 seconds of dipping strip.
ATTENTION: To avoid incorrect readings due to a discoloration of the test strip pads, the strip vial must be closed
immediately after removal of a test strip, using the original desiccant-filled stopper.
