Intended Use
The iChem®VELOCITY™ automated urine chemistry system is an in vitro
diagnostic device used to automate the urine chemistry analysis profile
using iChem® VELOCITY ™ Urine Chemistry Strips. The iChem
VELOCITY can be used as a stand-alone system, as well as in an
iQ®200 Series system, a configuration given the proprietary name
iRICELL™ as it is designed to be hardware and software compatible with
iQ200 Series systems. It produces quantitative results for specific gravity,
semi-quantitative results for glucose, blood, leukocyte esterase, bilirubin,
urobilinogen, pH, protein, ketones and ascorbic acid; and qualitative
results for nitrites, color and clarity.
iChemVELOCITY strips are intended for use only with the
iChemVELOCITY analyzer. In particular, they are not intended for visual
reading. The iChem VELOCITY test strips are
not intended for visual
reading. The iChemVELOCITY is not intended to be used as a Point of
Care (POC) analyzer.
These measurements are used to aid in the diagnosis of metabolic
disorders, kidney function anomalies, urinary tract infections, and liver
function. Tests performed using the iChem VELOCITY are intended for
clinical laboratory use and in vitro diagnostic use only.
This document is the Operator’s Manual for the iChemVELOCITY Urine
Chemistry System. It is intended to explain system operation in detail
and to be used as the basis for training new operators. Retain this
manual for future use. It is an information guide and a troubleshooting
reference. It explains program settings and gives maintenance
instructions.
