Running A Urinalysis Strip Quick Test - Siemens CLINITEK Status+ Operator's Manual

Note An ID band is a white or colored area near the handle of a
Siemens urinalysis strip. CLINITEK Microalbumin and Multistix PRO
urinalysis strips contain a colored ID band. The analyzer reads the ID
band to identify the strip type. Therefore, you do not need to select the
strip type from a menu.
