Index Introduction This manual contains the operation and maintenance instructions for the LAURA® Smart photometer. 1.1 Intended use ‘The LAURA® Smart reader is a reflection photometer for semiquantitative urine analysis using test strips PHAN® LAURA. The LAURA® Smart reader is designed for use in medical laboratories and doctors offices. 1.2. Measurement principle The following drawing shows the theoretical working function of the LAURA® Smart reader. The strip is inserted into the urine sample then it has to be placed onto the strip holder tray. The built-in strip detector recognizes the strip and starts the timing of incubation. The instrument moves the strip under the measuring head and measures the reflectance. White LED makes the illumination and a colour detector detects the reflected light. The processing unit converts the reflected light intensity to the analytical value. The result is resented on the display and printed by the built-in thermal printer. The instrument moves out the strip holder tray and the user dispose the strip. Li are sole oi Processing unit Reagent strip (eoratg Cea oo a LJ ==’ Strip holder driving Motor Strip detector 1.3.

Incase of the Smart Timing® the incubation takes place outside the reader, max 4 strips could be incubated at once. * Calibration Allows to calibrate instruments for the current used batch of test strips MicroalbuPHAN® LAURA. + Memory LAURA® Smart has a memory for the last 360 measurements. The stored measurement results with all of their related information (date, time, comment, colour.|, can be selected from the memory, displayed, printed or send to the computer anytime, + QC Test In this function the instrument measuring capability could be tested, by using the grey control strip and control urines Urinorm., The instrument measures the grey control strip and compares the result with the predefined should values. The test result is displayed and also printed for QA purpose. in the case of control urines Urinorm are results automatically compared with target values that are listed in user manual for control urines Urinorm. * Setup In this menu point the working parameters of the reader could be set. 4.2.1 Timing modes LAURA® Smart has two different timing modes: Standard mode and Smart Timing® Standard mode It is a linear workflow as described in the routine measurement chapter. Working in this mode only 1 strip/minute measuring speed could be achieved. ‘Smart Timing® It is used to speed up the measurement with the LAURA® Smart. In this working mode the throughput is increased due to incubating of the strips are outside of the reader. The user places the measured strips outside of the reader and when the incubation time elapses, the strip will be inserted into the reader only for the time of the measurement. To support this process is offered an incubation plate with the four slots and the reader gives four corresponding software timers. General workflow for use of the Smart Timing® mode: ‘+ Whenever a timer is available (green) insert a strip to the urine sample. * Place the strip on the incubation plate, to the corresponding slot, and start the timer/ the corresponding progress bar by pushingit. The green progress bar changes the colour to the yellow. Whenever a timer runs down, it beeps and the colour turns from yellow to red + Pick up the corresponding strip from the incubation plate and place it to the instruments strip holder tray. The following pictures help to understand the procedure. The position 1 is available for the new strip. The incubation has finished on the position 2 and the strip is inserted on the strip holder. The incubations run on the positions 3 and 4 with the strips/samples with Seq.num. 12 and 13. eu e (one) (oF) Keep the incubation plate clean, in order to prevent the possibility of cross- contamination among samples. LAUR SMART 4.2.2 Calibration Calibration mode allows to perform calibration on the currently used batches of test strips MicroalbuPHAN® LAURA.
