5. Analysis of test strips

NOTE:
The equipment settings, their availability and functional behavior depend on
the interface setting of the instrument. The equipment settings in this chapter
describe the operation in unidirectional mode only. For switching into the bi-
directional mode refer to chapter Chapter 9.22 "How to change the interface
settings".
Changes applying to the settings in bidirectional interface
mode are described in "Chapter 10 "Device settings in bidirectional interface
mode".

5.1. How to perform a measurement

®
The URYXXON Relax is very easy to use. In order to start the measurement,
the test strip is placed on the strip holder. The instrument automatically detects
a new strip and starts the measurement. A progress bar appears, that indicates
the remaining analysis time. After 30 seconds the test strip is drawn into the
instrument.
NOTE:
Make sure to remove excess urine by blotting the test strip carefully on a lint-
free cloth. For details on sample handling please refer to Chapter 1 "Quick-
start".
NOTE:
If the autostart mode (Chapter 9.21.3 "How to deactivate and activate the
autostart") is deactivated, the analysis needs to be started by pressing
on the touch-screen.
After the measurement, the instrument will release the analyzed test strip which
can now be discarded. The result is displayed on the screen and is transferred
via the interfaces and/or printed according to equipment settings.
For additional information on the test strip, please read the instruction leaflet that
comes with the strips.
DANGER:
Urine and used test strips bare the danger of infection. Always use protective
gloves during handling and disposal. The disposal of used test strips should
be performed according to the regulations of the handling of potentially infec-
tious material.
