Introducing the latest innovation for the MULTISTIX® family of urinalysis test strips; the addition of infra-red identification (ID) bands. The ID bands will invoke important automatic checks (Auto-Checks) when used with the following Siemens analyzers:

•New! CLINITEK Status®+ Analyzer
•CLINITEK Status® Analyzers that are upgraded with the software version 2.0 or greater

These analyzers have new software that recognize the infra-red bands and provide the following Auto-Checks for improved workflow and clinical information for the busy office or laboratory:

•Identification of strip type - removing the need to enter the information manually
•Detection if the test strip has been compromised by humidity over-exposure. If this occurs, patient results are not reported, thereby minimizing false positive results*.
•The new test strips can be used on Siemens' CLINITEK® 50, CLINITEK®100, CLINITEK Status® (software versions 1.900 and earlier), CLINITEK® 500 and CLINITEK Advantus® analyzers, without impacting performance. However, since these analyzers do not recognize the ID bands, the Auto-Check features are not available.

Siemens is committed to continuous innovation in urinalysis and providing our customers with solutions for improved workflow and improved clinical information at the point of care.

* Only available with test strips that have the leukocyte pad
