4. INTENDED USE
The Silaris Dock is a reusable platform, used in conjunction with a Silaris Test Cassette to run in-vitro diagnostics assays.
5. DOCK DESCRIPTION
The Silaris Dock is an electronic module which executes in vitro diagnostic tests on compatible Silaris Test Cassettes. It consists of an
electro-mechanical interface to a single Test Cassette. The Dock contains all electrical systems, controls and logic necessary to
orchestrate in-vitro diagnostic tests within the inserted Test Cassette.
Upon insertion of a Cassette, the Dock will detect and identify the Cassette type. After the user transfers a clinical test sample into the
Test Cassette and closes the Dock lid, embedded firmware in the Dock will control fluid flow of the sample into the various chambers of
the Test Cassette, apply controlled voltage signals to the various Cassette heaters (monitored by sensors within the Dock), and provide
visual status to the user with critical information such as estimated time to read, and various error states, should they be encountered.
