Instrument

The VerifyNow instrument provides the platform for an automated assay. It receives
an assay device and sample collection tube inserted into the assay device port.
Then, it automatically draws the blood sample into the assay device and proceeds
with the analysis of the sample. An operator specifies an automated activity and
retrieves test results using the display screen, keypad, and icon keys (Figure 2-1).
