Roche Diagnostics has combined the Urisys 1100 with the Cobas IT1000 point-of-care (POC) data-management system to provide advanced password protection.
The Urisys 1100 enables POC co-ordinators to ensure only fully trained and authorised personnel can access and use the analysers.
It can be used with Combur Urine Test Strips for automated urine test-strip analysis.
The Urisys 1100 provides rapid, standardised results and eliminates the limitations and potential errors associated with the manual reading of test strips.
Combur Test Strips are resistant to ascorbic-acid interference, ensuring accurate and sensitive results in blood and glucose test fields.
The Urisys 1100 uses effective reflectance photometry to evaluate a range of urinary parameters, including specific gravity, pH, leukocytes, nitrites, proteins, glucose, ketones, urobilinogen, bilirubin and blood.
The test procedure is automated, from incubation and interpretation to results.
The Urisys 1100 also corrects for specific gravity in high alkaline samples and compensates for urine colour.
The compact size and maintenance-free operation of the Urisys 1100 make it ideal for the POC environment.
Once the patient sample has been introduced, the urine test strip is placed on the instrument and results are available in less than 70 seconds.
Sample identification is automatic and sequential.
Patient identification can be entered using a barcode reader or PC keyboard.
The advanced operator identification and password protection are now available within the UK and Ireland.
