Uriskan Pro urine analyzer: what it determines during analysis

It is impossible to objectively assess the condition of the body without conducting clinical and laboratory tests, including urine analysis. Modern medicine has stepped far forward, inventing more and more new equipment that is aimed at rapid diagnostics to establish a particular diagnosis.

Using a urine test, you can identify kidney and liver diseases, hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. If earlier, in order to carry out an analysis, it was necessary to go to the doctor, take a referral for analysis, submit it to a research laboratory, wait for the results and send to an appointment with a doctor to receive an individual course of treatment, but now, with the advent of urine analyzers, the situation has become very simpler.

Pros of using urine analyzers

The main advantages of using this device are as follows:

1. Consumes a small amount of time (the analysis takes less than a minute, but in the end you get a fairly comprehensive and quick result)
2. High accuracy (research will be as accurate as possible and eliminate the risk of human factor)
3. Processing and issuance of the received result (the result can be displayed on the main display, you can print the received data, create a patient database and be able to monitor health status and changes)
4. Ability to process a large number of parameters.

Urine analyzers are a highly accurate and effective method for quickly identifying results and problems that exist in the body. But each device requires the use of its own test strips, and this issue should be carefully studied before purchasing and using.

Using test strips from another device most often leads to completely incorrect indicators, which can affect the course of treatment and identify the correct diagnosis.

Popular types

The most popular are:

• “UroMeter” (the LCD display displays data on the characteristics and turbidity of the biological fluid).
• “Aution Eleven” (up to 500 samples processed per hour).

DocUReader

The device is used to determine the qualitative and quantitative composition of urine in laboratory conditions.

The Dokurider urine analyzer is equipped with LEDs:

• the appearance of red color indicates the development of a pathological process in the human body;
• green color indicates that the person’s health is fine.

The Docureader urine test method is based on the use of reflective quantitative measurements of the energy characteristics of the radiation field. Reading and examination of the colored areas of the test strips with urine applied to them is carried out automatically.

What can be determined using the device in urine sediment:

• vitamin C;
• leukocytes;
• glucose;
• bilirubin;
• ketones;
• nitrites;
• proteins;
• blood.

The ability of the device to determine the acidity of urine and urobilinogen is important. The urine analyzer can be connected to a computer to create a document storage database. Veterinary clinics are often equipped with this universal device.

What to look for when purchasing

When choosing automatic urine analyzers, we recommend paying attention to several parameters. One of them is an indicator of the time required to carry out the analysis. The optimal figure is 30 seconds. During this time, the device must conduct an analysis and display the results on the display. It is convenient if the equipment is supplemented with a thermal printer for printing the results. Be sure to check the possibility of connecting it to computer equipment. The function of saving previous studies is another useful option. Its presence is especially convenient in laboratories with high traffic and an impressive number of patients. Ease of use is another property that you need to pay attention to when purchasing an analyzer. Modern models allow testing by pressing just one key.

Areas of application of analyzers

They are used both privately and in regional medical centers, laboratories and clinics at various levels. Suitable for use in remote communities where there are no doctors and monitoring of indicators is necessary. They allow you to quickly identify drug and alcohol intoxication and are included in the list of necessary equipment for visiting specialists in drug treatment clinics. A number of standard models are suitable for use in veterinary medicine, but there are special modifications for this area.

The analyzers are convenient and easy to use. When purchasing a device from a specialized company, managers will provide the necessary instructions on how to use the equipment. A detailed description of the operation and maintenance of the device is in the attached instructions.

Software

The analyzers use built-in software that is installed directly into the analyzers' ROM by the manufacturer.

The software is designed to control the analyzer, the controller of internal actuators and measuring devices and its settings, as well as to ensure the functioning of the interface, processing information received from measuring devices during the measurement process.

Identification data (signs) of the metrologically significant part of the analyzer software are listed in Table 2.

Significance in diagnosis

The results of a general urine analysis are taken into account when diagnosing various diseases. Each deviation in the state of health is characterized by separate changes in quantitative and qualitative indicators.

The characteristics of clinical analysis are divided into three groups:

• physical properties of biological material;
• urinary sediment;
• content of organic substances.

Physical indicators include transparency, material odor, acidity and density.

Norm:

• color – light yellow;
• transparency – from slightly cloudy to transparent;
• density – from 1.009 to 1.031 g/l.

Norm of chemical indicators:

• acidity – from 5 to 7 pH;
• urobilin – no more than 17 mol/l;
• low protein content.

Principles of collection for urine testing

All urine tests that are prescribed to patients are divided into special and planned. In order for the analysis to be reliable and to be able to identify disorders of the genitourinary system, it must be collected correctly. The main factors that influence a general urine test are:

• violation of sterility when collecting material;
• long-term storage before delivery to the laboratory;
• strong physical activity before the procedure;
• pregnancy;
• menstruation;
• urethral injuries;
• taking diuretic medications.
