VALIDATION RESULTS
The user is alerted with an 'Incorrect Strip Type'
error message and is prompted to use the correct
strip type. The Clarity Platinum Urine Analyzer
must be used with Clarity branded strips.
The strip bed is retracted once the 'Start' button
is pressed. This is implemented to prevent users
from delaying the test time or delaying placing the
strip on the strip bed. The user is alerted with a
'Misplaced Strip' error message due to no strip
being detected. Limited time is available for
placing strips on the strip bed.
The user is alerted with a 'Strip Quality Issue'
error message and instructed to use a new strip
from an unexpired bottle.
If QC tests are performed with humidity
compromised strips, then the user is alerted with
a 'QC Fail' message generated after the Quality
Control Test. Once the QC test fails, the system
will go into a lockout function, and the user
cannot perform any patient testing until the
Quality Control testing is completed successfully.
