Hardware Overview; User Interface; Testing And Printing Areas - Siemens CLINITEK Advantus Operator's Manual

The Clinitek Advantus system is intended for professional use in a laboratory
environment only. Tests performed using the Clinitek Advantus system are
intended for in vitro diagnostic use. As with all diagnostic tests, a definitive
clinical diagnosis should not be based on the results of a single test, but
should only be made by the physician after all clinical and laboratory findings
have been evaluated.

Hardware Overview

User Interface

By default, interaction with the Clinitek Advantus analyzer is via an integrated
touch screen. Messages, options, and requests for information display, and
responses are made by touching the appropriate key symbol on the screen.
CAUTION
Do not use anything hard or pointed on the touch screen. It may
damage the screen.
You can also use a computer keyboard or a handheld barcode reader to
interact with the analyzer. Some analyzer screens may not accept input from
these devices.

Testing and Printing Areas

All testing takes place on the fixed platform.
The fixed platform consists of 3 sections: the strip loading station, the
incubation/read station, and the waste bin. Strips are placed on the strip
loading station. The push bar moves the strips to the incubation/read station,
where they are tested. When testing is complete, the strips drop into the
waste bin.
