3M™ Rapid Detection Reader Introduction
Introduction
Overview
The 3M Rapid Detection Reader is a rapid immunochromatographic system for performing in vitro diagnostic analyses.
The 3M Rapid Detection Reader is comprised of the 3M Rapid Detection Control Module (CM) and the 3M Rapid Detection Test Module (TM). Each Test Module has two ports. Up to three Test Modules are connected to each Control Module providing the user the ability to test 1-6 samples simultaneously. The configuration software and USB flash provided drive allow the user to customize the Reader and maintain the test data. The optional barcode scanner and printer provide ease and accuracy for data entry and record keeping.
Calibration and expiration information for Test Cartridges are input to the 3M Rapid Detection Control Module (CM) through Lot Cards enclosed with the Test Kits.
To perform an assay, the operator places a sample into the well of a Test Cartridge and inserts the Test Cartridge into the 3M Rapid Detection Test Module (TM).
Once the Test Cartridge has been inserted, no further intervention is required. A barcode on the bottom of the Test Cartridge is read to determine the Test Kit lot number. Information loaded with the Lot Card identifies lot specific parameters and expiration date. This ensures that an expired cartridge is not used.
Analysis time is analyte specific and typically less than 20 minutes per sample. Results may be viewed on the 3M Rapid Detection Reader display screen and/or output to the USB flash drive, a printer, or network.
The 3M Rapid Detection Reader only accepts Test Cartridges specified for use with 3M Rapid Detection Test Kits.
The 3M Rapid Detection Reader can operate in either local or network mode. Operator input is accepted from the touch screen or an optional barcode scanner. Stored data including results can be transferred via USB flash drive or sent to a printer or network file.
Intended Use
The 3M Rapid Detection Reader is a general use fluorometer that analyzes results produced by immunoassays specified by 3M.
Full operation requires the use of 3M RAPID DETECTION Test Kit. Optional accessories include a printer and barcode scanner.
