Test Specifications
iChem VELOCITY Urine Chemistry Strips are packaged in the Starter Kit
with the iChem VELOCITY system. Additional strips may be purchased
from Iris Diagnostics or your authorized distributor. Only iChem
VELOCITY Urine Chemistry Strips may be used. Other manufacturer
strips cannot be read by the instrument.
A maximum of 300 test strips can be stored in the strip provider module.
CAUTION: Do NOT leave the test strips in the module for more than 5
days. If test strips are exposed to the air too long, they may absorb
moisture or collect dust, causing incorrect results. Best practice is to
allow the chamber to empty completely before adding new strips.
CAUTION: Do NOT touch the reagent pad of a test strip; this may cause
incorrect results. Do NOT use expired test strips or any test strip if the
reagent pads show any signs of discoloration, deformation or
deterioration. Read the package insert of the test strips carefully.
