4 ID NOW Instrument User Manual
The following warnings are to be used as an aide in risk mitigation.
Caution: Use only the power supply that is provided with the instrument. Use
the appropriate power supply for the region. The correct power supply is required
to maintain the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the system.
Caution: The power supply that is provided should only be used with the
IDNOW Instrument.
Caution: Hot Surfaces. The Sample Receiver holder in this instrument operates
at up to 60ºC (140ºF) and may cause contact burns or damage to materials in
contact with this area.
Caution: Always operate this instrument on a clean, flat, level and stable surface
not in direct sunlight. Do not drop the instrument. Ensure that air flow to the
ventilation openings located on the back and base of the instrument are not
restricted.
Caution: Never move the instrument while a test is in progress.
Caution: Follow proper infection control guidelines for handling all specimens
and related items. Properly dispose of all contaminated waste according to
federal, state, and local requirements.
Caution: Risk of electrical shock. Do not operate the instrument or the power
supply if it has been opened, damaged or exposed to moisture, condensation or
rain.
Caution: Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the ID NOW Instrument
or other accessories as there is a risk of damage to the instrument. This
instrument does not contain serviceable parts and should be returned for repair.
Disassembling the instrument will also void the warranty.
Caution: Only operate the instrument for its intended purpose and in
accordance with this user manual and warnings. If the instrument is used in a
manner not specified in the user manual, protection provided by the equipment
will be impaired. This instrument (including power supply) is designed to operate
within the manufacturer’s specifications. Do not exceed the manufacturer
specifications when in use.
WARNINGS and SAFE USE

ID NOW Instrument User Manual 5
Caution: Position the unit with clear access to connectors. Keep connected
cables clear of work areas such that tripping or catching will not pull the unit off
its work bench. The mains socket outlet intended for use with IDNOW power
supply should be located near the instrument and be readily accessible. Abbott
recommends that cables are disconnected when not in use for an extended
period.
Caution: USB and Ethernet Interfaces. If intended for connection to external
equipment, please ensure that interfaces of such equipment are separated from
mains by double or reinforced insulation and present no risk of electrical shock.
Caution: If any assay components are dropped, cracked, found to be damaged or
open when received, DO NOT USE and discard.
Caution: Due to the high sensitivity of the assays run on the instrument,
contamination of the work area with previous positive samples may cause false
positive results. Handle samples according to standard laboratory practices.
Clean instruments and surrounding surfaces according to instructions provided
in Section 1.6, Maintenance & Cleaning.
Caution: Once reacted, the Test Base contains large amounts of amplified
sample (Amplicon). Do not disassemble the Test Base and Transfer Cartridge.
In the case of a positive sample this could lead to amplicon leakage and potential
false positive IDNOW test results.
Caution: To avoid contamination, do not move the IDNOW Instrument during a
run or until all assay components have been removed from the instrument.

6 ID NOW Instrument User Manual
1.1 Intended Use
The IDNOW™Instrument is a fluorescence-based instrument for the processing
and analysis of IDNOW tests.
This document describes the setup, configuration and operation of the IDNOW
Instrument, which utilizes isothermal nucleic acid technology for the qualitative
detection of a range of infectious diseases. It is intended to aid in the diagnosis of
these diseases.
1.2 Product Description
IDNOW utilizes isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology for the qualitative
detection of infectious diseases. Consumables such as Test Bases and Sample
Receivers are required to run each assay.
The reaction tubes in the Test Base contain the reagents required for amplification of
the target nucleic acid and an internal control. IDNOW utilizes a pair of templates
(similar to primers) for the specific amplification of the target nucleic acid and
a fluorescently-labeled molecular beacon designed to specifically identify the
amplified targets.
To perform the assay, the Sample Receiver and Test Base are inserted into the
IDNOW Instrument. The sample is added to the Sample Receiver and transferred
via the Transfer Cartridge to the Test Base, initiating target amplification. Heating,
rotation and detection is provided by the instrument, with results automatically
reported.
Additional assay specific information and work flows are detailed in the respective
product inserts.

30 minutes.
1.5 Instrument Calibration
The IDNOW Instrument is factory calibrated and does not require any further
calibration and verification.
However, if the instrument was transported or moved, a performance check
using IDNOW positive and negative controls is recommended to ensure proper
functionality.
