BD Veritor™ Plus Analyzer Instructions for Use
10
When the analysis is complete, the test result will be displayed with the control swab identification, the name of the test, a result, and
an overall "QC PASS" or "QC FAIL" indication. Refer to the package insert for the BD Veritor Test Device for specific result
interpretations. If a printer is connected to the unit and powered on, the test result will automatically be sent to the printer.

Verify that the test type and QC swab control are correct.
12
Once the test type and swab control are verified and the result noted, remove the test device by pulling it 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.
13
If an InfoSync Module is installed, the ENVELOPE symbol will appear to indicate that results are being transmitted over the secure
cellular connection. The symbol will disappear after the results have been transmitted. In the event that the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer
does not detect adequate cellular network strength, it will queue all results to be transmitted and continuously attempt to transmit the
results while it is powered on. If the Analyzer is powered off while the ENVELOPE symbol is still present, the Analyzer will queue the
result and transmit it the next time that it is powered up.

To initiate a new test, repeat steps 5–13 above, or turn off the power by depressing the front panel power button for at least half a
second and releasing it. If the Analyzer is left unattended for 15 minutes (when operating on the internal battery), or 60 minutes (when
operating on the external power adapter), the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer will automatically shut off and the test result will not be retained
on the screen.
