Step 6C: Adding the specimen
• Invert the tube, holding it vertically (approximately one inch above the BD Veritor
SystemFlu A+B device sample well).
• Gently squeeze the ridged body of the tube, dispensing three (3) drops of the processed
specimen into the sample well of a labeled BD Veritor System Flu A+B device.
NOTE: Squeezing the tube close to the tip may cause leakage.
Step 7C: Timing development
• Allow the test to develop for 10 minutes.
• CAUTION: incorrect results may occur if development time is less than 10 minutes.
Some lines may appear on the device sooner. Do not read device visually.
• If running the test in a laminar flow hood or in an area with heavy ventilation, cover test
device to avoid inconsistent flow.
Step 8C: Using the Analyzer
During the incubation time, turn the Analyzer on by pressing the blue button once.
The display window briefly shows "SCAN CONFIG BARCODE." This is an opportunity to change the
configuration of the Analyzer. Please refer to the Analyzer Instructions for Use for configuration steps.
Ignore this message and postpone this process when an assay is awaiting analysis.
• When assay development time is complete and the Analyzer display window reads:
"INSERT TEST DEVICE OR DOUBLE-CLICK FOR WALK AWAY MODE":
– Insert the BD Veritor System Flu A+B device into the slot on the right side of
the Analyzer.
Step 9C: Using the Bar Code scanner
• Follow the prompts on the display window to complete any required barcode scans of:
– OPERATOR ID
– SPECIMEN ID and/or
– KIT LOT NUMBER
• Prompts for each scanning step appear in the display window for only 30 seconds. Failure to complete scans during
that time will cause the Analyzer to default to the beginning of step 8C. To restart this step, remove and reinsert the
test device to initiate a new reading sequence.
• Move barcodes slowly toward the window until a confirmation tone sounds. The scanned barcode value appears in
the next display window.
• The Analyzer can record the Kit Lot Number and expiration date in the test record but does not restrict the use of
expired or inappropriate reagents. Management of expired materials is the responsibility of the user. BD recommends
against the use of expired materials.
After required scans are completed, the Analyzer displays a countdown timer and test analysis begins.
• Do not touch the Analyzer or remove the test device during this process. Doing so will abort the assay analysis.
• When analysis is complete a result appears in the display window. If configured to display, the specimen ID
barcode value also appears. If a printer is connected, specimen ID and result are automatically printed.
If a printer is not connected, record the result before removing the assay device.
ATTENTION: TEST Results are NOT maintained in the display window when the device is removed or if the Analyzer
is left unattended for more than 15 minutes (60 minutes if AC power adapter is connected).
Step 10C: Remove the test device
• Remove and then discard the test device appropriately. The display will show "INSERT TEST DEVICE OR
DOUBLE-CLICK BUTTON FOR WALK AWAY MODE" to indicate the Analyzer is ready to perform another test.
If the Veritor Plus Analyzer is connected to an LIS, a steady ENVELOPE symbol will appear to indicate that
results are awaiting transmission. In the event that a network connection is not detected while the ENVELOPE
symbol is still displayed, the Analyzer will queue all untransmitted results and attempt to transmit them when
reconnected. If it is powered off during this time, it will attempt to transmit as soon as power is restored, and
connection is re-established. A flashing envelope indicates that data are in the process of being transmitted.
