BD Veritor™ Plus Analyzer Instructions for Use
BD Veritor™ Plus Connect – Optional
When implemented with BD Synapsys™ Informatics Solution, BD Veritor™ Plus Connect enables BD Veritor™ Plus Analyzers equipped
with a BD Veritor™ barcode scanning module to securely transmit test results to a facility's information system via an Ethernet connection.
The Connect software runs on a separate dedicated computer networked to the BD Veritor™ Plus Analyzer with the USB cable provided
with the BD Veritor™ barcode scanning module. This is shown schematically below.
BD Veritor™ InfoWiFi Module - Optional
The BD Veritor™ InfoWiFi module provides the same functional features as the BD Veritor™ InfoScan module and adds wireless
communication capability. Once configured, the BD Veritor™ InfoWiFi module can connect to a local wireless network and transmit test
results to the BD Synapsys
A BD Veritor™ Plus Analyzer configured with a BD Veritor™ InfoWiFi module can be identified by the label on its underside, shown in the
image below.

Principles of the Procedure
The BD Veritor™ Plus Analyzer is an optoelectronic instrument that uses image processing and a specific algorithm to determine the
presence or absence of any target analyte(s).
The BD Veritor™ Plus Analyzer detects the insertion of a BD Veritor™ Test Device and reads the device barcode to detect the assay type.
Once it registers the test type, the Analyzer uses a reflectance-based measurement method to evaluate the line signal intensities on the
assay test strip. The Analyzer determines the line intensity at each of the spatially-defined test and control line positions, interprets the
results using a scoring algorithm, and reports a positive, negative, or invalid result based on pre-set thresholds. A liquid crystal display
(LCD) on the instrument communicates status and results to the operator.
Because the BD Veritor™ Plus Analyzer and Test Devices are designed as an integrated system, it is not possible to replicate the result
determination visually. Therefore assay result determination by operator visual readings of the BD Veritor™ System Test Devices is not
recommended.
The instrument is maintenance-free and is configured with a single button design (power switch) for ease of operation.
