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 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 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
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 6D. To restart this step, double-
click the power button.
• 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.
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
–
Group A Strep 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 Group A Strep
A device. NOTE: Squeezing the tube close to the tip may cause leakage.
Step 9D: Start the development and reading sequence
• Immediately 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.
• A countdown timer in 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, note the result
before removing the assay device.
ATTENTION: TEST Results are NOT maintained in the display window when the device
Step 10D: 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 "Walk Away" mode:
with InfoScan or InfoSync module installed
is removed or if the Analyzer is left unattended for more than
60 minutes (if the AC power adapter is connected).
