When the Operator ID effective time elapses, the keys will not respond and/or testing will not start when a strip is
placed until you enter your operator ID.

2.3.6 Entering patient ID numbers
Each patient ID number can have up to 13 digits of numeric figures and “–” characters entered. The patient ID number
entered is uniquely allocated to the measurement made just after this entry is made. After a group of measurements is
completed, the patient ID numbers are automatically deleted.

1 Call up the screen
aWith the [Standby screen] displayed, press .
• The [Patient ID number input screen] appears.
2 Enter a patient ID number
aEnter a patient ID number.
• You can enter up to 13 digits using the numeric and keys.
REFERENCE:
In addition to the patient ID number, a measurement number is also allocated to each sample. The
measurement number is automatically incremented by one for each successive measurement from the start of
measurement until the instrument is turned OFF.
When using a hand-held barcode reader (optional), you need not manually enter the patient ID number. Follow
the procedures in “To enter a patient ID number using a barcode” on page 2-15.
NOTE:
If the input value exceeds 13 digits, the first digit (the
leftmost digit) will be deleted.
REFERENCE:
If a patient ID number has already been set, the highest-order digit (leftmost digit) flashes. If you then input a
number or “–”, the next digit to the right flashes. The flashing digit accepts key input.
If you press during input, the currently input patient ID number is cancelled and the instrument returns to
the [Standby screen].

REFERENCE:
When the clarity value of the sample is “1”, just press without pressing any numeric keys.
IMPORTANT:
Dip the entire test strip pad area in the sample at once. Do not allow the
black mark shown in the figure to become wet. If the test strip is dipped too
deeply and the black mark is moistened, correct measurement may not be
obtained.
After dipping the test strip in the sample, gently remove excess urine by
drawing the entire length of the test strip against the rim of the collection cup.
In the “Auto start” mode, the buzzer does not sound for the first measurement. Always dip the test strip for 2
seconds. Insufficient dipping of test strips may cause insufficient color change, while dipping too long may
cause reagents to drain out of the test strip, either of which will prevent correct measurement.
Do not dip the
black mark.
