6 ASPECT Reader User Guide
INTRODUCTION
Welcome
Congratulations on the decision to test with the ASPECT Reader System by Critical Diagnostics. This user guide will provide useful information on
performing tests with this system.
System Overview
The ASPECT Reader System is a semi-automated bench- top reader intended for use with cassette-based immunouorescent in-vitro diagnostic
assays. Utilizing the principles of rapid lateral ow immunoassay technology, samples are analyzed using a test cassette. The test cassette
contains a Radio Frequency ID (RFID) tag that identies parameters such as test name, calibration coefcients, expiry date, Sample/Reagent
Assembly (SRA) type. After the test cassette is loaded with a specimen it is inserted into the reader. An internal scanner reads the RFID tag and
automatically processes the test. Internal software interprets and reports the test results which are displayed on the screen, where they can be
printed and/or electronically exported.
Test specic information is stored on the RFID tag. No upload of any test-related information is required prior to performing a test.
Intended Use
The ASPECT Reader is a benchtop instrument intended to be used with cassette-based immunouorescent in vitro diagnostic assays manufactured
by Critical Diagnostics. The ASPECT Reader is used in the professional laboratory environment.
After the patient sample has been added to the Test cassette, the cassette is placed inside of the ASPECT Reader to be analyzed. The ASPECT
Reader will scan the test strip and measure the uorescent signal by processing the results using method-specic algorithms. The ASPECT Reader
will display the test results.
Refer to assay-specic package insert for details on specic tests.
Principles of Measurement
The ASPECT Reader detects a uorescent-label (TF5: Excitation 650nm; Emission 670nm) in a lateral ow immunoassay (LFI) test format. A
pre-determined amount of test specimen is pipetted into the sample well of the test cassette. A buffer solution is pipetted into the second well.
The test cassette (called cartridge in the software) is then immediately inserted into the ASPECT Reader for analysis. The reader assembly excites
the uorescent label area of the test cassette then measures the uorescent signal to generate a quantitative result when processed through the
calibration curve algorithm. The analyte result is displayed on the screen where it can be printed and/or exported to a LIS system.
Data Entry Fields
Data entry elds are areas in a screen in which information is entered. One screen can have several data entry elds, but only one eld can
be selected and active for entering data at a time. Pressing a numeric key will input that character into the data entry eld. If the number of
characters in a eld is exceeded, no additional characters may be entered unless others have been deleted.
To select a data entry eld, move the cursor via the [↑] or [↓] keys to move up and down in the screen. To move back and forth between left
and right text elds, use the [→] or [←] keys. The content of the eld is highlighted to show it is selected or active.
To delete characters from a data eld, select the eld using the reader’s [↑] or [↓] keys, then press the [⇐] Delete key at the bottom of the
numeric keys. The last character in the eld will be deleted.
