Introduction
Multistix PRO
®
urinalysis strips are ready to use upon removal from the
bottle and the entire strip is disposable. The strips may be read visually,
requiring no additional laboratory equipment for testing.
The strips can also be read on an instrument, using the
CLINITEK
®
family of Urine Chemistry Analyzers and the appropriate
software; Multistix PRO 11 Reagent Strips are for use on the
CLINITEK 500 and CLINITEK Advantus
®
Analyzers only. The
CLINITEK Status systems, CLINITEK 50 and CLINITEK 100 instruments
automatically identify the strip being tested, using the ID bands near
the handle of the strip. Contact your product representative for further
information.
Multistix PRO urinalysis strips are for in vitro diagnostic use. They have
been determined to be nonhazardous under the guidelines issued by
OSHA in 29 CFR 1910.1200(d).
