Instructions for use
All devices are manufactured with the following
settings:
- Time zone: UTC +0:00
- Printing language: English
If you want to change the time zone, or the printing language
refer to Modification of time zone, or Modification of printing
language on the Set-up mode section.
4.Wait until the temperature of the equipment stabilizes. When
this happens, the temperature indicator will remain fixed.
Do not place any hygiene indicator for protein
detection in reading positions until the equipment
indicates that the temperature is stable.
5.Reading can be initiated when the temperature blue light
remains stable, indicating that the incubation temperature was
reached. When the equipment is turned on and the temperature
remains stable, an automatic check of the status of the 3
reading positions will be carried out. The indicator lights of each
position will light up to indicate the result of the test: the green
light
will indicate that it was satisfactory and the red
light
will indicate that an error has occurred.
When the equipment detects an error in some position, it will
print a receipt indicating the date, time and positions with error.
To guarantee the reliability of the results, these positions will be
deactivated avoiding their use. To indicate that this position has been
disabled, the red light of that position will remain blinking indefinitely.
For the correct performance of the automatic check,
it should be done with the protective cover closed.
6.Press and hold the key
second to enter the reading mode. The device will emit a sound,
the led indicator of quantitative results corresponding to 1 will
blink quickly, the Auto-reader will emit two sounds and the led
will light indicating that the time program corresponding to a
reading of a Chemdye
PRO1 MICRO pen has been selected.
®
Auto-reader will keep the selected program in position during
the entire reading process. The system does not allow the
program to be modified once the reading has begun, unless it
has been completed.
7.Use Chemdye
PRO1 MICRO pen to take the sample from
®
the surface to be analyzed. To do this, follow the instructions
described in Figure 1 (also explained in the Instructions for use of
Chemdye
PRO1 MICRO hygiene monitoring system).

8.Once the solutions contained in the device have been correctly

mixed, proceed with the incubation (remember that reading cone
should not contain the swab). To do this, place the pen in the
incubation / reading position (Figure 2) making sure to orient it
as indicated on the label of the auto-reader. Insert the pen making
sure that it stops at the bottom of the reading position, if it is in
the correct position, check that it cannot be rotated (Figure 2).
9.Press the key
of the chosen position for 2 seconds to start
the incubation and reading process (10 minutes at 60 °C). The

of
intermittent.
Do not move or remove the pen from its position
during the reading process, this may cause
mistaken readings or even the cancellation of it.
NOTE: If the incubation does not start, it may be due
to the fact the Auto-reader has not yet stabilized the
temperature (to confirm that the temperature light is
stable) or the position used is disabled due to an error in
the initial auto test.
10.Once the incubation process ends, a sound alarm indicates
the end of the program. The sample is read and the protein
concentration is calculated using a calibration curve with BSA
(Bovine Seric Albumin). Then, a ticket is printed with the
calculated protein concentration. If the value is below the
selected threshold, a green light
negative result, if it is by above the selected threshold, a red light
will appear, indicating a positive result. In both cases,
one of the lights of the PRO panel will indicate the approximated
rank of concentration calculated between 1 to 5 µg; if the value
exceeds the 5 µg all the lights on the panel they will light up. The
threshold to determine a positive or negative result can be
configured using the Bionova
configuration process is outlined in the Bionova
software manual. The factory-set threshold is 1µg.
NOTE: 30 seconds before the end of the program, the
auto-reader will emit an alarm that will last until the end
of the reading to warn the operator that the incubation
time will be completed. The color of the solution can be
used for a qualitative reading only if the protein pen is
removed when the program ends. If the protein pen is not
removed at that time the color of the solution will continue
to evolve.
