4. Structure and Principle

4.1 Structure

The structure is as outlined in figure 1. This instrument is composed of optical-electronic detector

system, transfer-part, I/V converter, CPU, urine draining system, printer, LCD display, keyboard
and power supply.

Figure 1 Structure of the instrument

4.2 Principle

The analyzer measures change in reflectance of the reagent strip pads. A detector integrated in
the system is composed of a light source and a light receiver, the light from which goes through
the spherical integrator and reflects at the reagent pads on the strip. The absorbance (and
reflectance) varies according to the color of the reagent pads. The darker the reagent pad is, the
higher the absorbance is, and less light is reflected. Conversely, the lighter the reagent pad is, the
lower the absorbance is, and more light is reflected; i.e. the degree of color development is
proportional to the concentration of an analyte in urine.
The reflected light goes into the optical-electronic detector system, which transforms the optical
signal into electrical signal. The strength of the electricity correlates with reflectance. Then the
electric signals will be processed by CPU after being transformed by I/V converter, and the test
results can be printed out by printer.

4
The reflectance is calculated using the following formula:

Tm · Cs
R%= ×100%
Ts · Cm

R: Reflectance
Tm: Reflective light amount at the reacted pad with the measurement wavelength
Ts: Reflective light amount at the reactive pad with the reference wavelength
Cm: Reflective light amount at the calibration pad with the measurement wavelength
Cs: Reflective light amount at the calibration pad with the reference wavelength

However, ACR is measured and calculated with the below formula.

"R"ACR = (100 – "R"MA) / "R"CR

These reflectance “R” are compared against calibration curves stored in the instrument and

output as measurement results. Also, temperature is corrected to eliminate changes caused by

environmental temperature.

4.3 Contrast of semi-quantitative symbol and concentration

The factors that may affect the test results are freshness of urine sample, drinking & eating habits
of the patient, as well as pre-sports & post-sports activities. Therefore, the semi-quantitative value
is good enough for clinical diagnosis. The test results are rounded off. It is permissible that two
relevant values may vary slightly in repeated tests.
Table-1 shows the test method and data.

Operator should use URIT check strip to perform calibration for the analyzer frequently. There are
two check strips that packing with the analyzer. One is for daily use, and the other for standby use.
Compare the check strip results with the reference value. If the results are consistent, it means
the analyzer is in order and can be used for routine testing. If not, use the other check strip for
calibration again. If the results are not consistent yet, check whether malfunction occurs and solve

15
it. It is recommended that QC solution testing be run under the following situations (Please
contact the manufacturer to get the QC solution):
 When to use a new bottle of reagent strips
 When to replace an operator
 When to question about the test results

Caution
1. The check strips are used for daily calibration.
2. One is for daily use, the other is backup.
3. Don't dip it in any liquid.
4. Keep it clean.
5. Please compare the inspected results of the check strip with the data labeled on the
bottom. Consistent data indicate normal instrument and inconsistent data indicate some
errors.
6. Please note the data labeled on the bottom is to check the instrument only but not for
clinic reference.

8.3.2 Operation for calibration

Make sure the strip type is 11G and the instrument is ready to test. If the detector is ON, put the
check strip into the strip holder, push the strip inside until a “D” sound is heard, then the
instrument is going to test. After 60s, the test result will be displayed and printed. If the detector is
OFF, press the START key on the ready screen, after the sound of prompt, put the check strip into
the strip holder as the request. After 60s, the test results will be displayed and printed.

Caution
The check strip should not be soaked into urine or water. If the strip holder is dirty, clean it
first to avoid contaminating the check strip.

8.4 Preparation before Testing

1. Make sure that your strips being used are the URIT 10G, 11G or 14G strips. Use of any reagent
strips other than the specified URIT 10G, 11G or 14G will cause erroneous results.
2. Make sure the strip being used matches with the strip type displayed on the Ready screen.
Otherwise, “TROUBLE－8” will be displayed if a non-corresponding reagent strip is used.
3. Make sure the operator knows the position of strip should be put; Make sure the operator
knows the request of testing time.
4. Check the date, time and printer. Change them when needed.
8.5 Routine Test

Biological risks
Make sure to put on protective gloves to prevent exposure to infectious microbes.

1) Connect the adapter to the instrument and the electrical outlet. Push the power switch at “1”

16
position. The instrument is ready for test after self-checking.
2) Prepare the filter paper (for removing excess urine), urine sample and urine reagent strip.
3) Completely immerse the reagent strip into fresh, well-mixed, and uncentrifuged urine sample,
then slowly draw it out along the container wall, using filter paper for excess urine, but not too dry.
