Reac f Touch
Sec on 1 Introduc on
The Reac f Touch Urine Analyzer is a portable, easy to use analyzer. It is designed to read
only Reac f Urinalysis Reagent Strips.
The analyzer can be plugged into an electrical outlet and used on a bench top. It can also
be powered by ba eries to be able to freely move the analyzer from one tes ng site to
another.
The instrument performs a system test each  me it is turned on. It automa cally calibrates
each  me a test is run.
Results are displayed on the touchscreen and can be printed (if desired). The results can
also be transferred to a computer using an RS232 serial port or USB port on the back of the
instrument. The analyzer stores results from 2000 pa ent tests and is able to recall past
pa ent test results using the Records Review func on.
Note: Keys on the touchscreen are listed in bold. Display items on the screen and set-
 ngs are listed in bold italics in this manual.
Note: Contains useful  ps on using the analyzer.
Cau on: Should be followed carefully to ensure analyzer operates correctly and is
not damaged.
Intended Use
The Reac f Touch Urine Analyzer is intended for use in conjunc on with the Reac f
Urinalysis Reagent Strips for the semi-quan ta ve detec on of the following analytes in
urine: Glucose, Bilirubin, Ketone (Acetoace c acid), Specifi c Gravity, Blood, pH, Protein,
Urobilinogen, Nitrite, Leukocytes, Ascorbic Acid, Albumin, Crea nine, Calcium, Pro-
tein-to-Crea nine Ra o, and Albumin-to-Crea nine Ra o. The instrument is intended for
professional, in vitro diagnos c use only.
This Instruc on Manual contains direc ons to unpack the analyzer, for Reac f Urinalysis
Reagent Strip tes ng, and how to keep it in good working condi on. Throughout the
Operator’s Manual, these symbols can be seen:

purchased separately at an electronics store or from your local representa ve.
Connec vity
Reac f Touch allows for Bluetooth, Ethernet or wireless network connec vity, and use of
op onal barcode reader to eliminate manual steps and reduce transcrip on errors. Refer
to Sec on 7 Analyzer Setup: Analyzer Confi gura on: Connec vity and Reac f Touch
Data Transfer Insert.
Analyzer So ware Updates
From  me to  me nal von minden GmbH will add new features and make improvements
to the Reac f Touch urine analyzer so ware.
These so ware updates will be available on an electronic memory card (SD card or USB
fl ash drive) which is inserted into the so ware update socket (by the USB port or SD card
socket). The USB port is located on the back of the instrument, and the SD card socket is
located under the ba ery compartment cover and on the right-hand side of the ba ery
compartment when you face the bo om of the instrument.
Upda ng the so ware is a simple procedure. Instruc ons for upda ng the so ware
please refer to the Reac f Touch So ware Update Instruc on.
Loading the Printer Paper
Open the printer cover by pulling up on the tab. Open the paper roll compartment cover
by pulling forward and li ing up. Place the new paper roll into the printer paper compart-
ment with the paper unrolling from underneath and toward the compartment wall. Pull
about 4 inches (or 10 cm) of paper through. Close the printer and paper roll covers by
clicking them into posi on.
Note: The analyzer is enabled to automa cally print the results (to turn off the auto-
ma c print func on refer to Sec on 7 Analyzer Setup: Analyzer Confi gura on:
Printer Setup). The analyzer uses regular thermal paper or s cker label paper.
Powering Up
Press the On/Off bu on located on the front of the instrument. The analyzer will run
an automa c system diagnos c test each  me it is turned on. This is the fi rst screen
displayed.

Powering Down
Before turning the analyzer off , always ensure that there is no strip on the test table and
that the table and insert are clean. Press the On/Off bu on for at least 5 seconds. The
test table will retract into the analyzer. If there is no strip on the test table, the door will
close and the analyzer will switch off .
When the analyzer is turned on for the fi rst  me, the Start-Up Wizard will be displayed
for a quick setup procedure. Refer to Sec on 5 Start-Up Wizard for further instruc ons
regarding the Start-Up Wizard.
