FAQ's of Abbott AFINION ACR:
Q: How does the Abbott AFINION ACR system analyze urine samples?
A: The Abbott AFINION ACR uses immunochemical and photometric measurement principles to determine the albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) from a urine sample. The process is fully automatic and operates via simple cartridge insertion and touchscreen operation.
Q: What is the typical time required to obtain ACR results?
A: Results are typically available in approximately seven minutes, allowing for rapid assessment and timely clinical decisions in screening and monitoring settings.
Q: When and where should the AFINION ACR be used?
A: This analyzer is ideal for use in hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic laboratories, especially when immediate ACR results are needed for diabetic nephropathy screening or renal disease monitoring.
Q: What is the sample volume needed and how should it be collected?
A: Only 40 L of fresh urine is required for each test. The sample is collected and dispensed into the Afinion 2 Analyzer Cartridge, which is then inserted into the device for analysis.
Q: What are the key benefits of using the AFINION ACR analyzer?
A: Benefits include rapid and accurate results (CV <3%), ease of use via a color touchscreen, compact and portable design, minimal sample requirement, fully automated operation, and integrated data storage and printing capabilities.
Q: How do I store the cartridges and operate the analyzer properly?
A: Cartridges should be stored in a dry, dust-free environment at 2C to 8C. The analyzer itself operates optimally between 15C and 32C, connected to a standard power supply between 110V and 240V AC.
Q: Is the AFINION ACR analyzer compatible with existing Afinion cartridges and what languages does it support?
A: Yes, the device is fully compatible with Afinion 2 Analyzer Cartridges and supports multiple languages for enhanced usability in diverse clinical settings.
