Step 6C: Add the specimen to the test device
Invert the tube, holding it vertically (approximately one inch above the BD Veritor System
•
Group A Strep 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 Group A Strep A device. NOTE:
Squeezing the tube close to the tip may cause leakage.
Step 7C: Timing development
• Allow the test to develop for 5 minutes. BD recommends the use of a digital timer or stopwatch.
• 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 BD Veritor Plus Analyzer
During the incubation time, turn the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer on by pressing the blue button once.
• The display window will briefly display "SCAN CONFIG BARCODE." This is an opportunity to
change the configuration of the Analyzer. Please refer to the Analyzer Instructions for Use for
configuration instructions. 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 Group A Strep device into the BD Veritor Plus 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
According to site requirements and Analyzer setting
• 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 sequence.
• Move the barcode 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 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
Step 10C: Remove the test device
• Pull the device out. 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 an InfoSync module is installed the ENVELOPE symbol will appear to indicate that results are transmitting.
• In the event that the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer does not detect adequate cellular network strength while the
ENVELOPE symbol is still displayed, it will queue all results to be transmitted and continuously attempt to transmit
them. If it is powered off during this time, it will attempt to transmit as soon as power is restored.
Using an Analyzer In "Analyze Now" mode:
with InfoScan or InfoSync module installed
is removed or if the Analyzer is left unattended for more than 15 minutes
(60 minutes if the AC power adapter is connected).
