How to operate the Analyzer

The Alere Afinion AS100 Analyzer has two main user interfaces, the touch screen and the cartridge chamber. The Analyzer is easily
operated using the touch buttons that appear on the screen. When a button is touched, its function will be activated. Text messages
that appear on the screen will help guide you through the testing procedure. The functions of the touch buttons are explained in the
section "Gallery of icons", page 32–34.
The other main operative part of the Alere Afinion AS100 Analyzer is the cartridge chamber. The cartridge chamber is designed to
receive the Test Cartridge in one orientation only. The lid must be manually closed, but opens automatically. When a new Test Cartridge is
placed in the chamber, manually closing the lid will initiate the analysis. When the analysis is complete the lid will open automatically.
The lid protects the cartridge chamber from dust, dirt, light and humidity during processing and when the Analyzer is not in use.
• The lid must be manually closed, but opens automatically. Do not open the lid manually.
• Use the fingertips only on the touch screen. Do not use pens or other sharp instruments.
