1. The number of fully lit keys will equal the number
of tests being reported, plus one, with exception of the
P:C ratio (see Step 1-a below). Each time a new test is
added to the list, the next key becomes fully lit
until the number equals the number of tests on the
selected Bayer Reagent Strip plus two (color and
clarity). (Note that only one protein result is reported
from the protein–low and protein–high tests when
using MULTISTIX PRO ®
being reported and their order are all correct, touch
the key to return to the previous menu. If you want
to make changes, proceed as follows:
1. a. P:C Ratio: If you are using a MULTISTIX PRO
Reagent Strip, the instrument will calculate a pro-
tein-to-creatinine (P:C) ratio. The P:C ratio will
always be reported and will always appear in the
last position of the reported results. Its order can-
not be changed and, therefore, this test will not
appear on the screen for selecting the tests to report.
1. b. Selecting Color/Clarity: If color and/or clarity are
not listed, you can quickly and easily add one or both
to the list by touching the last fully lit key until the
desired test name (COL or CLA) is shown. Touch
the next key (which is now fully lit) to add the other
test name. Color and clarity will be reported in the
last two positions if you make no further changes.

1. c. If you want to change the order in which tests are
reported, touch the cycle key at the first position
you want to change. Any test(s) not already listed
will be displayed first; then a blank will be displayed
and all tests from that position on will be erased
and must be re-entered. Touch the cycle key until
the desired test is displayed. As each test is
selected, the next test in the list will be the first
test displayed for the following position.
1. d. Select the desired test for each of the remaining
positions. If you want to remove a test from the
reporting order (not reported), select the tests you
do want to report and leave a blank description in
the final position.
1. e. When the correct tests and order are displayed,
touch .
2. Mark positives:
2. All positive results can be marked with an asterisk (*)
in the displayed and printed report, as well as in the
data transferred to a computer. Touch the cycle key to
change the selection between ON and OFF.
2. NOTE: If this option is OFF, you will be unable to make
selections for several other options (see Steps
E-3, E-4, E-5, G-1, G-2, and/or G-3 later in this
section).
3. Positive levels for tests:
2. The lowest result that is considered to be positive can
be changed from the default levels, if desired, for each
of the chemistry tests. (The physical parameters of SG,
pH, color, and clarity are changed in other menu
options.) If "Mark positives" (Step E-2 previously) is
ON, all positive results are marked with an asterisk (*)
in the displayed and printed report, as well as in the
data transferred to a host computer. These levels are
also used by the Analyzer to determine which speci-
mens meet the criteria for the confirmatory and micro-
scopic reports. When the action key is touched, the
display shows the lowest positive level for the first four
tests selected in the previous screen (Tests to report).
