INTRODUCTION
Neogen’s AccuPoint Advanced Healthcare (HC) ATP cleaning validation and tracking
system is a lightweight, handheld reader for validating a cleaning program’s
effectiveness. The system detects organic material including bodily fluids, skin cells
and micro-organisms on surfaces and in liquids. The system’s easy-to-use AccuPoint
samplers automatically mix self-contained reagents to quickly generate results.
When used with the AccuPoint Advanced HC Data Manager software, the AccuPoint
reader can record the testing results at specific site locations, along with the date,
time and individual responsible for cleaning. The test site information is entered in the
Data Manager HC program and synced to the AccuPoint Advanced HC reader. The user
simply navigates to the correct site and takes the test.
Up to 5,000 unique testing sites can be tracked with each AccuPoint HC reader. Results
from up to 4,000 tests can be retained at any time and are not lost if the reader loses
power. Four rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries provide power.
Operating principles and technology
The AccuPoint Advanced HC system utilizes ATP bioluminescence to determine the
cleanliness of test samples. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule found in all
living cells, including bacteria, bodily fluids, skin cells, yeast and mold. Bioluminescence
is a chemical reaction that produces light. ATP bioluminescence occurs when ATP
from a sample comes into contact with luciferase, an enzyme found in fireflies, and
luciferin, a substrate. The amount of light emitted in this reaction is proportional to the
amount of ATP detected in a sample. After a sample is taken the sampler is pressed
into its cartridge, breaking its seal and initiating the mixing of reagents. The reaction
takes place within the cartridge and a detector measures the amount of light produced.
The reading is displayed on the LCD display in relative light units (RLU). According to
preset limits, an icon is displayed indicating a pass, marginal or fail result. These limits
are defined by the operator or by using the system presets.

The AccuPoint Advanced HC Data Manager software
The AccuPoint Advanced HC reader can be utilized with the Data Manager software to
upload testing site information and to download testing results. Using this combination
will allow for the tracking and analysis of a facility’s testing results. The procedure
starts with the definition of a test plan in the Data Manager software. This test plan
identifies all of the testing sites in your facility that could be tested and assigns pass,
marginal and fail thresholds to each site. Once the test plan is defined uploading the
information to the reader will allow the user to select the appropriate site before taking
each test. The result along with the time, date, housekeeper, area, room and test site
can then be downloaded to the software for tracking and analysis.
SELECTING THE TESTING SITE
If a test plan has been uploaded from the HC Data Manager software, navigate to the
appropriate site through the Area, Room, or Test Site fields.
The Test Site field has an option for selecting an entry at random. When “Random”
appears in the field, pressing the OK button will cause the reader to randomly select
one of the Test Sites within the displayed Room at random.
Sampler type: surface or liquid
The AccuPoint Advanced HC reader operates in two sampling modes: surface and
liquid. Both the AccuPoint Advanced Surface and Access samplers are designed to be
read in surface mode. The AccuPoint Advanced Water sampler is read in liquid mode.
If utilizing the AccuPoint Advanced HC Data Manager software and the test plan has
been uploaded to the reader, it will automatically change to the appropriate testing
mode, surface or liquid, when navigating to the testing site.

SYNCING TEST RESULTS TO THE HC DATA MANAGER SOFTWARE
The AccuPoint Advanced HC reader can store up to 4,000 data records. The reader will
display the number of stored data records on the User ID screen at power-up. Once the
limit has been reached, the oldest record will be discarded as each new record is added.
To sync data to a computer:
1. Open the Data Manager program on the computer (if necessary, see the software
manual for program installation instructions).
2. Turn on the reader and allow it to move past the boot up screen. Select a User.
3. Connect the USB from the computer to the reader.
4. Any data that is on the instrument will automatically be presented for review.
5. When syncing is complete, a message is displayed indicating that data has been
successfully loaded into the HC Data Manager program. The program will ask if
the data in the reader should be deleted.
6. To erase the data from the reader, click Yes in the message box. Once data has

SETTING THRESHOLDS IN THE READER
The default thresholds come pre-programmed at 0–149 as pass, 150–299 as marginal
and above 300 as fail. Changing them can only be accomplished by uploading through the
Data Manager software. When a Test Plan is established, each site can be programmed to
its unique thresholds. Once the Test Plan is complete, uploading it to the reader through the
Download Thresholds command will establish the correct thresholds for each site.
If a Test Plan will not be used at a facility, and to simply operate the system in a pass-
fail mode, it will still be necessary to upload a simple test plan to not use the default
thresholds. Simply establish a single test site in the Test Plan Setup routine with its
appropriate thresholds and upload it to the reader through the Download Thresholds
command. This will change the threshold defaults in the reader to the values that have
been established.
