INSTRUMENT OPERATION
Before starting each run, perform the following steps:
1. Check that the name of the Reagent Strip being dis-
played corresponds to the name of the Bayer Reagent
Strip for Urinalysis that is to be used for routine urin-
alysis. Use of any Reagent Strip other than the one
listed will cause erroneous results. If the names do
not agree, select the correct strip name through the
Setup Routine, as directed in Section 3, Step C-2.
1. IMPORTANT: The CLINITEK 500 Analyzer has been
optimized for use with Bayer Brand Reagent Strips.
The performance characteristics may not be valid for
any other brand of strips, the use of which may cause
erroneous results. Bayer Corporation does not war-
rant use of the CLINITEK 500 Analyzer with any
reagent strip other than Bayer Brand Reagent Strips.
2. Inspect the strip loading station and push bar for
cleanliness and correct positioning. If contaminants
are present, remove the push bar, platform, and mov-
ing table, and clean as described in Section 5, "Daily
Cleaning."
3. The "SEQ #" (sequence number) increments with each
strip that is placed onto the instrument. Change the
starting number if desired:
3. a. Touch the key symbol next to the word SEQ #. The
display will change to a numeric keyboard, from
which the new number can be entered.
3. b. Enter the desired number. The number can be reset

that number. If an error is made, or if you only need
