Figure 1.1 The optical-electronic sensor system consists of a light source and a light receptor. The light from the light source falls on the reagent pads on the strip. The absorbance and reflectance vary with the color development of reagent pad, i.e. The degree of color development is proportional to the concentration of analyte in urine: if the color of reagent pad is darker, more light is absorbed and less light is reflected, vice versa.
The reflected light is transmitted into the Optical-electronic sensor system where the optical signals are transformed into electric signals. Then the electric signals are transformed by I/V convert then processed by CPU. Finally, test results are displayed on color display. 1.6 Appearance and Components Instrument (figure 1.2) Figure 1.

3. Usage Precautions 3.1 Sample Usage Precautions 1) Be careful to take samples. Urine samples may carry pathogenic microbes that can cause infectious diseases. Take the utmost care when handling urine. Wear protective gloves to avoid exposure to urine samples. 2) Use fresh urine samples (Collect within one hour). Samples must be measured within one hour, otherwise, keep them in refrigerator to avoid deterioration.
temperature before testing, otherwise, the test results may be higher. 4) Mix each sample well before measurement. Do not centrifugal separation. If centrifugal separation is carried out, some components in the urine sample will precipitate, and some test items will not get accurate test results. 5) Sample volume should be enough to entirely soak all reagent pads on the strip. You can’t do the normal test if there are no enough samples. 6) Directly use the collected sample.
When test the sample which contains Vitamin C may lead the occult blood and glucose readings may be lower than the actual value. 9) Drug-administered urine and visual hematuria can affect test results. Drug-administered urine and visual hematuria can affect test results and may not get the accurate test results. 3.2 Reagent Strips Usage Precautions 1) Please use the special reagent strips. Use only the URIT reagent strips and carefully read through the package inserts of the reagent strips.
from bottle before measuring samples, and cap the bottle immediately. Exposing the reagent strips to air for a long time will deteriorate the compositions of the reagent strips. 4) Do not touch the reagent pads on the reagent strips. Do not touch the reagent pads on the reagent strips. Doing so may affect test results. 5) Please keep desiccant. Do not discard the desiccant in the reagent strip bottle before using up all reagent strips.
temperatures. It should be used in a room of appropriate size, preferably air conditioning, temperature and humidity in accordance with the technical requirements of the instrument. To ensure the accuracy of the test results, please keep the temperature and humidity of workshop consistent with the environmental conditions required by the urine strip used.
4) Observe the battery power of the instrument during use. Caution 1. If you continue to do the tests during the low power situation, in that case it can’t guarantee the accuracy of the test results. 2. Please do not wait for the battery to run out of charge before charging, otherwise it will affect battery life. Please through observe the battery icon which in the instrument display screen to confirm the battery power. When the instrument indicates that the battery is low, please charge it in time.

Figure 4.1 Caution The sample volume must be enough to soak all pads entirely on the reagent strip. Caution Do not centrifugal separation, otherwise will cause haemocyte precipitation and make some items can't get accurate test results. 4.2.3 Preparing reagent strips Please refer to the package insert of reagent strips for specific information about how to handle reagent strips.
Caution Do not use the reagent strip that has exceeded the service life, or the reagent strip that has not expired but the reagent changes color, otherwise, the accurate test results cannot be obtained. 4.2.4 Measuring samples After you prepare the samples and reagent strips, please soaking the reagent strips with samples and then do the tests. The soaking time should use seconds as unit, so you should read the following steps completely to understand the operation steps.
interface and prepare the reagent strips and samples for use. 2) Prepare some blotting papers at hand for later use. Used for remove the excess samples from the reagent strips. 3) Soak the reagent strip in the sample. Caution 1. Be sure to make sure all the reagent strips are soaked in the sample. If the reagent block was not fully soaked, some of the items could not get the accurate test results. 2. The reagent strip should be soaked for approximately 2 seconds.
4) Remove the reagent strip from the sample, gently touch the edge of the reagent strip and suck out the excess urine. 5) Place the reagent strip on the strip tray. When placing, it is important to ensure that the reagent strip is fully placed in tray groove, and that the reagent strip has one side of the reagent block facing up. 6) Insert the strip tray into the tray conveyor of the instrument, and the instrument will test automatically.
2. Be sure to place the strip tray on the tray conveyor correctly. Incorrect position of strip tray will affect the accuracy of test results. 7) Test result will be displayed after the strip tray re-move to the front of the instrument. The results will be transmitted to external devices via the Bluetooth interface if connected. 8) Take out the test tray. 4.2.5 When the measurement is completed 1) The used urine reagent strips, absorbent paper and other wastes should be discarded after detection..
5. Instrument Checkup 5.1 Checkup There are two check strips that come with the instrument. Use either one to check the performance of the instrument and compare the obtained results with the range printed on the check strip container. If the obtained results fall outside the range, use another check strip to repeat the test. If you continue to get out-of-range results, the instrument may not be working properly. Do not use the instrument. Please contact your local dealer.
Caution 1. The check strip only used for daily check. 2. Please do not soak the check strip into any liquid. 3. Please keep the check strip clean. 4. Compare the obtained results with the range printed on the check strip container. If the obtained results inside the range that means the instrument can be normal use; if not please check the check strip is all right or not. 5.
the deepest slot of the tray conveyor. Then the instrument will test automatically. Caution 1. The handle end of the reagent strip should be guaranteed to be on the outside of the instrument. If the reagent strip is in the wrong direction, the instrument will prompt for the error. 2. Be sure to place the reagent strip on the strip holder correctly. Incorrect position of reagent strip will affect the accuracy of test results. 2) Take back the check strip when the test finished.
