To use Walk Away mode - connect the AC power adapter to the Analyzer and a power source
Step 6D: Starting Walk Away mode
• Turn the Analyzer on by pressing the blue power button once.
The display window will briefly show "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 the display window reads:
"INSERT TEST DEVICE OR DOUBLE-CLICK FOR WALK AWAY MODE"
– Double-click the blue power button.
Step 7D: 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 6D. To restart this step, double-click the
power button.
• 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.
Step 8D: Add the specimen to the test device
• When the display window reads: ADD SPECIMEN TO TEST DEVICE AND
INSERT IMMEDIATELY:
– Invert the tube, holding it vertically (approximately one inch above the BD Veritor
System Flu A+B device sample well).
– Gently squeeze the ridged portion of the tube, allowing three (3) drops of the
processed specimen to dispense 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.
– CAUTION: A countdown timer displays the time remaining for test insertion. Walk
Away mode must be activated again when this timer expires. Confirm timer is
visible and Walk Away mode is activated before inserting test device.
Step 9D: Starting the development and reading sequence
• Insert the test device into the slot on the right side of the Analyzer. The test device must
remain horizontal to prevent spilling the specimen out of the sample well.
• "DO NOT DISTURB TEST IN PROGRESS" appears in the display window. Automatic
timing of the assay development, image processing and result analysis begins.
• The display window shows the remaining analysis time.
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 60 minutes (when AC power adapter is connected).
Step 10D: Removing 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.
Note that the Analyzer returns to Analyze Now mode at the conclusion of each read sequence.
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.
