Operation

4.1

General

Section 4.2 provides instructions for routine operation of the BD Veritor™ Plus Analyzer using the Analyze Now operational mode. In this
mode, the test device is prepared and developed outside of the Analyzer, then inserted to perform the final read. Section 4.3 provides
instructions for routine operation of the BD Veritor™ Plus Analyzer using the Walk Away operational mode. In this mode, the test device is
prepared outside the Analyzer but allowed to develop inside the Analyzer. The Analyzer initiates the final read at the appropriate time. Both
sections include instructions for operation with or without a BD Veritor™ barcode reader equipped module installed. Sections 4.4 and 4.5
describe the Quality Control (QC) test procedure in Analyze Now and Walk Away mode, respectively.
4.2 Using the BD Veritor
The BD Veritor Plus Analyzer is intended for use with BD Veritor™ Test Devices. Specific instructions for performing a BD Veritor™ Test
can be found in the package insert included with each test kit. After following those instructions the procedure for interpreting a test result
with the BD Veritor™ Plus Analyzer using Analyze Now operation is as follows:
1 Place the BD Veritor™ Plus Analyzer on a flat, dry, stable surface.
2 Ensure that the BD Veritor™ Plus Analyzer is not in direct sunlight or exposed to a bright light.
3 Check the BD Veritor™ Plus Analyzer for an inserted device. If a device is present, remove it from the Analyzer.
