Quality Control Testing

Quality Control Testing
The Clinitek Status system is CLIA
waived only when used with Bayer
branded urinalysis reagent strips.
For CLIA waived settings, we
recommend that a quality control
test be performed with each new
reagent bottle opened.
Quality Control for Urinalysis
Strip Testing
Test negative and positive controls
whenever a new bottle of reagent
strips is first opened.
Water should NOT be used as a
negative control. Contact your
Bayer Healthcare representative for
additional information on
performing QC testing.
Refer to the quality control
product insert for expected values for
each analyte.
Quality Control for Cassette
Testing
It is recommended that quality
control specimens be used with
each new reagent box opened.

Clinitek ® hCG cassette test package
