This manual contains the introductions for the operation of i <CHROMATM
Reader and for the sample testing procedures. Refer to the test procedure of
specific product for specific test and operating instructions.
i <CHROMATM Reader, manufactured by BodiTech Med Inc., is a portable
instrument for fluorescence detection to quantify concentration of various
kind of analytes in blood or urine. The assays and the instrument are for in-
vitro diagnostic use only. i <CHROMATM Reader can be used in a central
laboratory or in a point-of-care testing facility. i <CHROMATM Reader uses a
laser as the ecitation light source. The emitted light from the fluorescence
dye is collected and converted into an electrical signal. The signal is closely
related to the amount of fluorescing dye molecules present on the spot under
eamination.
!fter a buffer-mied sample is applied to the Test "evice, the Test "evice is
inserted into i-#$R%M! Reader and the concentration of analyte is
calculated by a pre-programmed calibration process. i <CHROMATM Reader
can accept Test "evices that are designed specifically for use &ith this
instrument.

i <CHROMATM Reader is equipped &ith a built-in Test "evice
holder and does not require an eternal holder to place the Test
"evice in. The Test "evice holder &ill appear through the
opening on the front surface of the Reader.
The main po&er s&itch, located on the left side of the instrument,
po&ers the i <CHROMATM Reader. The optional printer comes
&ith its o&n po&er supply. These t&o po&er supplies have
different po&er ratings, and a critical damage on instrument can
thus be resulted in if po&er supplies are connected incorrectly.
'o&er supplies are labeled, indicating that &hich unit are
supposed to &ork &ith.

Initial Installation Procedure
Po;er requirements
i <CHROMATM Reader &ill &ork on household po&er line, *-(* 2
or ((*-(1* 2 !#, )* 8 4*$5. If you are uncertain of your po&er line,
consult &ith your utility manager.
,ocation
i <CHROMATM Reader should be placed on a dry, clean, flat, and
hori5ontal surface a&ay from direct sunlight and other source of
electromagnetic radiation +po&er transformers for eample.
To set-up i <CHROMATM Reader for the first time, remove the contents from
the packing materials. Inspect the contents for any physical damages and any
missing components compared to the suggested list of contents.
. 'lace i <CHROMATM Reader on a flat table
+surface, &ith the front surface at least 14cm
inside of t3e ta2le ed*e.
= #onnect the po&er cord for i <CHROMATM
