Siemens CLINITEK Status Plus Urine Analyser

The Siemens CLINITEK Status Plus is a portable, rapid point-of-care automated urine chemistry analyzer engineered to streamline urinalysis testing in laboratories and clinics. It automates testing workflows by self-timing and reading specimen strips, removing operator subjectivity while delivering reliable results in roughly one minute.

Technical Specifications & Performance

• Automation Level: Fully automated point-of-care urine chemistry analyzer.
• Throughput: Rapid processing yielding complete test results in approximately 1 minute.
• No. of Parameters: Multi-parameter testing menu measuring routine urine tests (Albumin, Bilirubin, Creatinine, Glucose, Ketone, Leukocytes, Nitrite, pH, Protein, Specific Gravity, Urobilinogen), early kidney disease detection ratios (Albumin-to-Creatinine and Protein-to-Creatinine), and pregnancy testing (hCG).
• Principle: Reflectance photometer utilizing a specialized optical module consisting of six light-emitting diodes (LEDs), a light guide, mirror, lens, and a signal detector; reads immunoassay cassettes via dual-wavelength scanning.
• Analysis Mode: Direct strip-loading mode with automated timing and cassette reading mode.
• Advanced Sample Integrity (Auto-Checks): Automatically identifies the exact Siemens strip type, runs an onboard check for humidity overexposure to prevent skewed results, and detects common clinical sample interferences.
• Calibration Curve: Fully automatic self-calibrating system that checks optics using an integrated white calibration bar located at the back of the test strip table before every test run.
• Display: Simple, intuitive color touchscreen user interface with an integrated onboard pop-up keypad for data entry.
• Data Storage & Management: Onboard memory storing up to 950 patient test results and 700 unique Operator IDs.
• Interface & Connectivity: Uni-directional communication via a built-in RS232 serial port; easily upgradeable via a connectivity kit to the CLINITEK Status Connect system for full bidirectional LIS, DMS, or EMR integration.
• Power Source Flexibility: Dual operation supporting standard 100V - 240V AC power (50-60 Hz) or remote battery operation using 6 AA non-rechargeable batteries.
• Documentation: Built-in thermal printer for instant, automated hardcopy reports to eliminate manual transcription errors.
