The following steps assume that users of a BD Veritor Plus Analyzer have chosen and set all configuration options, and
that the Analyzer is ready to use. To choose or change these settings, see the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer Instructions for
Use, section 4.7. A printer is not necessary to display results. However, if your facility has chosen to connect the Analyzer
to a printer, check that the printer is plugged into a power source, paper supply is adequate and any necessary network
connections are enabled before testing.
