!
Thermal printing paper is sensitive to light and subject to fade with prolonged exposure to bright light.
Patient reports should be kept in a place away from direct light. For anticipated storage beyond 5 years it
is recommended that reports are photocopied for storage.
6.5 Strip Measurement Error
If “STRIP MEASUREMENT ERROR !” appears, the test strip and/or analyzer have probably been incorrectly used. Refer to
Section 8 for details.
6.6 Entering Patient ID, Operator ID and Authentication Password
Patient ID
When the analyzer is ready to measure (“INSERT STRIP !” displayed), you may enter a Patient ID (up to 13 characters in
length) against the currently shown sequence number by means of a barcode reader or AT/PC keyboard (see Section 9.2).
The Patient ID can be verified in the display window and entered again if necessary. The last Patient ID entered is stored
when the START button is pressed (i.e. when reading begins) and is printed and/or sent to the serial interface together with
the test result.
A new Patient ID should only be entered from the keyboard after the preceding measurement has been completed and
results printed out. This allows the operator to check correct entry directly on the display.
If a Patient ID is entered via the barcode reader while a test strip is being read, the analyzer assigns that ID to the next
sample number in the sequence. The Patient ID can only be erased by switching the analyzer off and then on again before
starting the next reading.
Operator ID
If the operator ID is activated, the instrument request the input of the operator ID immediately after the self check is
performed when the instrument is turned on, or when it leaves the stand-by mode.
You may enter an operator ID up to 12 alphanumeric characters by means of a barcode reader or an AT/PC keyboard.
Authentication
In the authentication mode the user will be required to input his/her apart from the operator ID list, also the corresponding
password in order to have access to the instrument and the test results he/she had performed.
Operators with supervisor rights have access to all results, may send the instrument log file to the host or print the last 10
actions of the log file and may deactivate the authentication mode.
The list of operator IDs with corresponding passwords may be updated from the host PC using the “Download List”
function key.
When data is entered from the keyboard, each character appears immediately in the display. It can be erased by backspacing,
and corrected as necessary. Press the keyboard ENTER key to terminate input, otherwise the Urisys

cannot start reading. Press the keyboard Escape key to delete the entire entry or turn the analyzer off and then on again.
ATTENTION: If the maximum length of identification is exceeded the input cursor will skip to the first character and the
identification will be overwritten.
