Intended Use - Zoetis VetScan UA User Manual

Intended Use

The VETSCAN UA is intended for veterinary use only for the testing of urine chemistries in
mammalian veterinary urine samples, particularly dogs and cats. Urine from other species
may be run on the analyzer, but has not been validated. The VETSCAN UA will measure urine
analytes through disposable test strips and provide semi-quantitative results on up to 14
analytes including, leukocytes (LEU), ketones (KET), nitrite (NIT), urobilinogen (URO), bilirubin
(BIL), glucose (GLU), protein (PRO), specific gravity (SG), pH, blood (BLD), ascorbic acid (ASC),
microalbumin (MA), calcium (Ca), creatinine (CR), and a calculated urine protein creatinine
ratio (PRO/CR).
Urine testing on the VETSCAN UA is intended to help evaluate chemical analytes in urine for
the detection of kidney disease, lower urinary tract disease, and specific endocrine disease.
It is meant to be utilized as part of the urinalysis in correlation with urine sediment examination,
and other clinical diagnostics to obtain a complete evaluation of the disease process affecting
the patient.
