Placement Of Reagent Strip - Siemens Clinitek Advantus Operator's Manual

7. While removing the strip, run the edge against the side of the container.
This removes excess liquid.
CAUTION
Do not blot the edge of the strip. This could affect results.
8. Place the reagent strip onto the supports of the strip loading station, with
the reagent pads facing up.
Place the strip to the right of and parallel to the push bar. Ensure that the
end of the strip is against the back wall of the platform and that it is not
touching the bottom of the strip loading station.
CAUTION
Improper placement may cause the analyzer to jam or the strip to
incorrectly align under the readheads.
The push bar moves almost immediately, pushing the strip into the read
area. Most of the keys on the display become inactive.

After the strip is read, the internal printer prints the test results. The
analyzer produces a result for each reagent pad that is within the limits
given in the package insert for the control solution.
