T esting Routine Urines

Procedure

Before beginning the day's
testing, check the test strip
table to make sure it is clean.
If it looks dirty, remove the
table and clean it, as described
on page 18.
The urine specimen should
be fresh, well-mixed, and
uncentrifuged. If the urine depth
is less than about 3 inches
(7.6 cm), pour the specimen
into a narrow tube, such as a
URIN-TEK ® Specimen Tube.
1 Dip a Bayer Reagent Strip
into the urine. Be sure all the
test pads are wet.
Refer to the direction
insert included with your
Reagent Strips for complete
information on using the strips.
2 Immediately remove the
Reagent Strip from the urine,
dragging the edge of the strip
against the side of the container
as you remove the strip. At the
same time, press either green
(START) key. You now have
10 seconds to complete Steps 3
and 4.

Testing can be started only
from the READY FOR TEST
screen. Be sure the Reagent
Strip name agrees with the
strip being used, unless using
MULTISTIX PRO
Microalbumin Reagent Strips,
which are automatically
identified after testing begins.
Replace the cap as soon
as you remove each strip from
the bottle.
