b. A transfer pipette or syringe may alternatively be used to drop well-

mixed urine onto each pad, covering each pad completely – do not

leave urine on strip for more than 2 seconds (proceed to step 5

immediately). The latter method is preferable if cultures need to be

performed. If the sample has been refrigerated, test the urine only

after it has warmed to room temperature. (59-77 °F, 15-25 °C)

8. If using a dip method, remove the strip from the tube, dragging the edge

of the strip against the rim of the urine container to remove excess urine.

9. Blot the strip on the long edge to clean, absorbent paper to remove

excess urine to prevent cross-contamination from adjacent reagent pads.

Avoid contacting the surface of the pads directly with the absorbent paper

to prevent contamination from the paper.

10. Place strip on UA strip tray with the end of the strip at the edge of

the analyzer opening. The tray will slide into analyzer automatically

approximately 30 seconds after the Test button was pressed. Results

will appear onscreen in another 30 seconds, for a total test time of

approximately one minute.

PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

1. The test is intended for veterinary use only.

2. The strip is NOT intended to be read visually, but only with a VetScan

UA analyzer.

3. Collect a fresh urine specimen in a clean, dry container or syringe. Do

not expose urine specimens to sunlight as this induces oxidation of

bilirubin and urobilinogen and hence leads to artificially lower results for

these two parameters.

4. If the sample will not be tested immediately, it may be stored at 59-77 °F,

(15-25 °C) for up to one hour before testing. If it will not be tested within

1 hour of collection, the sample may be refrigerated up to 4 hours.

When testing refrigerated samples, be sure to warm the sample to room

temperature (at least 15 minutes on counter or warm in palms of your

hand) (59-77 °F, 15-25 °C) prior to testing. Do not test cold urine. Be

sure not to freeze the sample.

5. Only use strips that are at room temperature (59-77 °F, 15-25 °C). If they

have been refrigerated, allow them to warm to room temperature before

use. Only perform tests at room temperature 59-77 °F, 15-25 °C.

6. Use gloves when handling the strips to avoid touching the reaction pads

on the reagent strips to prevent contamination.

7. Do not remove the desiccant pouch from the tube of strips. Replace

cap immediately and tightly after removing a reagent strip. Exposure

of unused strips to humid air (more than 5 minutes) can easily lead to

inaccurate test results.

8. Do not use reagent strips after the expiration date, and do not use

deteriorated, discolored or blackened test strips.

9. False-positive readings for blood and glucose can result from residues of

strongly oxidizing disinfectants in the specimen collection vessel. Do not

add preservatives to the urine. Avoid contamination by volatile chemicals.

10. The used test strip cannot be reused, but should be disposed of as

biohazardous waste.

11. When cleaning the strip tray, use alcohol wipes or a tissue moistened

with a mild soap and water. Dry tray thoroughly before replacing it into

the UA analyzer.

PLEASE NOTE

In principle, diagnosis or therapy should not be based on one test result

alone but should be established in the context of all other medical findings.

Knowledge of the effects of drugs or their metabolites upon the individual tests

is not yet complete. In doubtful cases, it is therefore advisable to repeat the

test after discontinuing a particular drug. Large amounts of ascorbic acid in the

urine can produce artificially low to false-negative results for glucose, blood,

nitrite and bilirubin.

STORAGE AND STABILITY

Strips in the tube may be stored from 36-86 °F (2-30 °C). Abaxis recommends

to store at room temperature 59-77 °F (15-25 °C) as strips should be gently

warmed or cooled to room temperature, as appropriate, prior to opening the

tube to retrieve a test strip. Store only in original tube with desiccant pack,

avoiding humidity, direct sunlight and heat. NOTE: Be sure to tightly recap

the tube immediately after removing strips for use.

EXPIRATION

Unopened tubes of strips are usable until the expiration date. NOTE: Unused

strips that remain in the original capped container with the desiccant are stable

for 3 months after first opening of the tube. After the tube has been opened,

the strips must be used within 90 days (3 months).
