C. Operation
This section provides detailed instruction pertaining to the operation of the Accula™ Dock only. It is not
intended to be a comprehensive instruction for performing diagnostic tests. Such instructions are found
packaged with the specific test kits.
The Accula™ Dock is capable of running any of a number of in vitro diagnostic tests offered by Mesa
Biotech. For the purpose of illustration, this section includes Dock messages specific to the Flu A/Flu B Test.
Inserting the Test Cassette
Each Test Cassette may only be used once. Sensors in the Dock will not allow the assay to
run if the cassette has already been inserted.
1.
Remove the Test Cassette from the foil pouch by tearing off the top of the pouch starting at the
notches in the pouch.
2.
Open the lid of the Dock by depressing the black lid latch button and pulling the lid to the
open position.
3.
Insert the Test Cassette into the slot with the cassette label facing toward the front of the Dock. The
sample port (covered with a foil tab) on the top of the cassette should be accessible to the user. Fully
depress the Test Cassette into the Dock until it 'clicks' into position. The Accula™ Dock will measure
the temperature of the cassette and display it as shown in the example below:
