Performing a dilution

If the patient has already been run once, select the patient from the
Recent Test Results list, tap Add Test, and then tap the SediVue Dx icon.
1. Tap Run Dilution.
2. Use the up/down arrows to specify the desired dilution factor (total parts).
3. Tap Run or Append Results.
4. In a test tube, mix the urine with the selected parts of 0.9% normal saline.
5. Mix the sample 10 times and then immediately inject 165 µL of the diluted
sample into the cartridge fill port.
6. Press the Start button on the analyzer. The results will be adjusted by the
dilution factor and noted that the sample was diluted.
If the dilution does not yield semiquantitative results, repeat the process using a

lead to changes in cellular appearance and the presence of crystals.
