4 ID NOW Instrument User Manual

The following warnings are to be used as an aide in risk mitigation.

Caution: Use only the power supply that is provided with the instrument. Use

the appropriate power supply for the region. The correct power supply is required

to maintain the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the system.

Caution: The power supply that is provided should only be used with the

IDNOW Instrument.

Caution: Hot Surfaces. The Sample Receiver holder in this instrument operates

at up to 60ºC (140ºF) and may cause contact burns or damage to materials in

contact with this area.

Caution: Always operate this instrument on a clean, flat, level and stable surface

not in direct sunlight. Do not drop the instrument. Ensure that air flow to the

ventilation openings located on the back and base of the instrument are not

restricted.

Caution: Never move the instrument while a test is in progress.

Caution: Follow proper infection control guidelines for handling all specimens

and related items. Properly dispose of all contaminated waste according to

federal, state, and local requirements.

Caution: Risk of electrical shock. Do not operate the instrument or the power

supply if it has been opened, damaged or exposed to moisture, condensation or

rain.

Caution: Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the ID NOW Instrument

or other accessories as there is a risk of damage to the instrument. This

instrument does not contain serviceable parts and should be returned for repair.

Disassembling the instrument will also void the warranty.

Caution: Only operate the instrument for its intended purpose and in

accordance with this user manual and warnings. If the instrument is used in a

manner not specified in the user manual, protection provided by the equipment

will be impaired. This instrument (including power supply) is designed to operate

within the manufacturer’s specifications. Do not exceed the manufacturer

specifications when in use.

WARNINGS and SAFE USE

ID NOW Instrument User Manual 5

Caution: Position the unit with clear access to connectors. Keep connected

cables clear of work areas such that tripping or catching will not pull the unit off

its work bench. The mains socket outlet intended for use with IDNOW power

supply should be located near the instrument and be readily accessible. Abbott

recommends that cables are disconnected when not in use for an extended

period.

Caution: USB and Ethernet Interfaces. If intended for connection to external

equipment, please ensure that interfaces of such equipment are separated from

mains by double or reinforced insulation and present no risk of electrical shock.

Caution: If any assay components are dropped, cracked, found to be damaged or

open when received, DO NOT USE and discard.

Caution: Due to the high sensitivity of the assays run on the instrument,

contamination of the work area with previous positive samples may cause false

positive results. Handle samples according to standard laboratory practices.

Clean instruments and surrounding surfaces according to instructions provided

in Section 1.6, Maintenance & Cleaning.

Caution: Once reacted, the Test Base contains large amounts of amplified

sample (Amplicon). Do not disassemble the Test Base and Transfer Cartridge.

In the case of a positive sample this could lead to amplicon leakage and potential

false positive IDNOW test results.

Caution: To avoid contamination, do not move the IDNOW Instrument during a

run or until all assay components have been removed from the instrument.

1.1 Intended Use

The IDNOW

™

Instrument is a fluorescence-based instrument for the processing

and analysis of IDNOW tests.

This document describes the setup, configuration and operation of the IDNOW

Instrument, which utilizes isothermal nucleic acid technology for the qualitative

detection of a range of infectious diseases. It is intended to aid in the diagnosis of

these diseases.

1.2 Product Description

IDNOW utilizes isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology for the qualitative

detection of infectious diseases. Consumables such as Test Bases and Sample

Receivers are required to run each assay.

The reaction tubes in the Test Base contain the reagents required for amplification of

the target nucleic acid and an internal control. IDNOW utilizes a pair of templates

(similar to primers) for the specific amplification of the target nucleic acid and

a fluorescently-labeled molecular beacon designed to specifically identify the

amplified targets.

To perform the assay, the Sample Receiver and Test Base are inserted into the

IDNOW Instrument. The sample is added to the Sample Receiver and transferred

via the Transfer Cartridge to the Test Base, initiating target amplification. Heating,

rotation and detection is provided by the instrument, with results automatically

reported.

Additional assay specific information and work flows are detailed in the respective

product inserts.

Allow the instrument to equilibrate to room temperature for at least

30 minutes.

1.5 Instrument Calibration

The IDNOW Instrument is factory calibrated and does not require any further

calibration and verification.

However, if the instrument was transported or moved, a performance check

using IDNOW positive and negative controls is recommended to ensure proper

functionality.
