5 Analyzer Overview What can your Urine Analyzer do? Your Pro Advantage Urine Analyzer is a portable, bench top analyzer for reading the manufacturer urine reagent strips. Training for this instrument is not required or necessary. Multiple urine strip types can be used with this analyzer. Specifically the Pro Advantage 2 parameter (P080012), 4 parameter (P080014) and 10 parameter (P080010). You have the ability to use a Patient ID and also select the color of the urine prior to testing each patient sample. This information will be displayed along with the test results on the print out. This analyzer has a simple four (4) button configuration that allows for quick access to choose any menu option, and also allows for quick entering and exiting out of selected menu options Is calibration required? The Pro Advantage Urine Analyzer does not require daily calibration, as the instrument performs a system calibration each time it is turned on. How does the analyzer work? The user has the option to input the Patient ID and also select the urine color before running the patient sample. Testing starts when Urine Test is selected on the main menu screen. From this point you have 5 seconds to dip the urine reagent strip, blot the edge of the strip and place it on the test strip bed. The analyzer will then count down from 60 seconds to 14 seconds before the test strip table is pulled into the instrument to read the urine reagent strip. How are results reported? Each result will be shown on the LCD screen and printed (if desired). The results can also be transferred to a computer using a 9-pin serial cable and the RS-232 serial port on the back of the instrument. The analyzer retains results from 1000 patient tests. You are able to search for past patient results on the analyzer using the Urine Data menu option. What powers the analyzer? The analyzer has a connection in the rear of the machine which uses a power adapter that can be plugged into an electrical outlet for use on a bench top. How many patient samples does the analyzer store? The analyzer will store 1000 patient results and patient ID numbers. PS-733 Rev 00-3/10 5/23

21 Appendix 3: Analyzer Summary & Policy Intended Use of Analyzer The Pro Advantage Urine Analyzer is for in vitro diagnostic use only: The analyzer reports results semi-quantitatively for leukocytes, nitrite, urobilinogen, protein, ph, specific gravity, blood, ketone, bilirubin, and glucose in urine samples. Optical System Explanation The TC-101 can determine the intensity of different colors on the reagent strip test area. It does this by irradiating the test area with light and detecting the reflectance of different wavelengths using an integrated sphere photo-detector. This photo-detector is filtered to measured wavelengths of 550nm, 620nm, and 720nm using the integrated sphere. 720nm is the reference wavelength and the combination of 550nm and 620nm light is used to differentiate between the different color combinations used in the urine strips. Results are calculated by a reflection rate (R%) which is a percentage of the total reflectance of the testing wavelength and are printed automatically. If the intensity of color on the strip is high then the reflectance will be low conversely if the intensity of the color is low then the reflectance will be high. Apart from there being strip blocks for each test there is also a reference block (blank) on the strips. Its function is to rectify any error that may be caused by the color or the urine itself. The formula for reflectance is: R: Reflectance Tm: The intensity of reflected radiation of the strip block to testing wavelength Ts: The intensity of reflected radiation of the strip block to reference wavelength Cm: The intensity of reflected radiation of the reference block to testing wavelength Cs: The intensity of reflected radiation of the reference block to reference wavelength Internal Checks Explanation When the user first turns on the Pro Advantage Urine Analyzer, the analyzer performs a series of electronic checks. Each time a test is read with the analyzer, the instrument ensures each test is positioned correctly on the strip bed. The analyzer then pulls the strip bed and strip into the analyzer, taking a reference reading from the reference block on the strip. After the initial reference block reading the analyzer begins to read all the test pads at all 4 wavelengths, The test and reference results are then used to determine whether there is a presence and/or amount of each component in the urine sample and the results are used to calculate the sample results. Human Eye vs. Instrumental Optics The human eye is inherently different in the colors that it perceives compared to those detected by an optical system. The human eye is capable of determine differences in shade and color by the minute, whereas the optical system cannot. However, optical systems can detect specific colors that are hidden or masked by other colors apparent to the human eye. Since there are slight difference between the human eye vs an optical system, an exact agreement between the two options may be hard to find. Yet, agreement between the two can be found visually, if the user reports a value within one visual color block compared to the optical system reading. PS-733 Rev 00-3/10 21/23
