Audio volume

The fourth step presented by the set-up wizard is to

1. Adjust the keypad tone volume with the arrow
buttons.
2. The volume of these sounds can be tested with
the Test button.
3. Adjust the volume for the alert tones by using
the arrow buttons.
4. The sound volume can be tested by means of
the Test button.
5. Accept the selection by choosing Next.
Power save
Adjust the power save time to reduce power con-
sumption when the instrument is being powered
from the battery pack. A lower time increases the
operation time.
1. Choose the time after which the QuikRead go
instrument will enter sleep mode (hibernate)
2. Choose the functionality of the sleep mode.

Finishing the set-up process

You have now completed the set-up process.
You may start using the instrument or make
additional settings from Advanced set-up which takes
you to Measurement flow where you can adjust labo-
ratory or work-routine settings.

4 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The QuikRead go instrument measures the absor-
bance of the cuvette contents and converts the re-
sulting figure into a concentration value on the basis
of pre-set test-calibration data. The calibration data
defining the overall assay curve are encoded on each
cuvette label. This information is transferred to the
QuikRead go instrument automatically during the
measurement.
Assays are performed in accordance with the user
instructions accompanying the QuikRead go reagent
kit. The results are available within minutes.
The instrument can be operated using a mains pow-
er supply or a battery pack. It has USB sockets for an
external printer or barcode reader.
The QuikRead go instrument can be connected to
a remote laboratory or hospital information system
(LIS/HIS). The instrument uses a standards-compliant
data-transfer protocol. Contact your supplier for
more details.
Power
(on, off or sleep mode)
The QuikRead go instrument can be in any of the
three modes: on, off or sleep mode.

Turning the power on

To turn on the instrument, press the Power button
on the front panel. A light on the button is illumi-
nated when the instrument is powered on.
If nothing happens, ensure that the power is con-
nected or, if the instrument is operating from a bat-
tery pack, that the battery pack is charged.
After the Power button is pressed, the backlight of
the display comes on, the instrument starts up, and
the main menu appears.
Starting the QuikRead go instrument for the first
time opens a set-up wizard (see the "Set-up wiz-
ard" section).

Turning the power off

To turn the instrument off, press the Power button
and hold for approximately two seconds. The instru-
ment requests you to confirm the shutdown, ask-
ing, "Do you want to shut down?" If Yes is chosen
on the touchscreen display, the instrument will turn
off. If a cuvette was inside the instrument when the
shutdown command was given, the cuvette will be
raised and the instrument will ask you to remove it.

Sleep mode

The purpose of sleep mode is to prolong the bat-
tery life while the unit is being powered from the
battery pack (available separately). Sleep mode is
activated when the instrument has been inactive for
longer than the time indicated in the personal set-
tings (see the section on Settings > Power save). The
sleep mode's functionality can be "Full standby" or
"Close lid only".
The instrument indicates that it is in sleep mode via
blinking of the Power button light.
To wake the instrument up, press the Power button.
