The Cardinal Health Urinalysis Analyzer is a CLIA-waived, semi-automatic touchscreen urine analyzer offering standardized results by removing subjectivity in color interpretation. The analyzer results in 90 seconds under routine test mode but also offers a quick test mode feature that results in 6 seconds. Quick mode saves time when testing multiple samples, allowing for a testing capacity of 360 tests per hour. The analyzer automatically calculates the albumin-to-creatinine ratio, which is essential for detection of early chronic kidney disease.
The system reads the Cardinal Health UA10SGL, UA8SGL, UA10ACR, and UA2ACR urine test strips. Calibration results are stored to facilitate switching between strip types. The Cardinal Health 2ACR and 10ACR strips are designed for monitoring diabetic and kidney health. The 10ACR processed by the analyzer helps to achieve maximum reimbursement for a single strip under 3 distinct CPT codes: microalbumin, creatinine, and general urinalysis.
Features of the analyzer include a lightweight, compact design, LIS compatibility, a full duplex communication interface, a high speed internal or external printer, and a 2000-test memory.
