ERBA Urine Analyser LAURA
Two types of diagnostic strips, which differ in the number of parameters, are intended for use with the device:
Parameters which can be determined by using diagnostic strips are: pH, protein (ALB), glucose (GLU), ketones (KET), urobilinogen (UBG), bilirubin (BIL), blood (BLD), as well as specific gravity (SG), nitrites (NIT) and leucocytes (LEU). LAURA® identifies the type of strip used/inserted automatically. The compensation field (CF) allows the elimination of the different colours of the urine samples.
Samples to be analysed can be entered easily, either by entering the ID of the patient or using a simple sequence of inserted samples. It is possible to print the results directly on a built-in thermo printer, the advantage of which is the print speed (12 results per minute) and quietness of operation. The manipulation of the printer for inserting the thermo paper is easy.
LAURA® automatically check itself after each switch-on. The calibration of LAURA® is checked by the control mode from the SW menu. The special control strips are used for checking the calibration and the correct function of the optical parts. The control grey strips are a part of a delivery, or they can also be bought separately also.
LAURA® has a wide-ranging software menu, which allows the user to make, for example, the own settings for inserting of the samples, a choice of units and the order of measurement parameters without reference at the order on the strip. The SW allows adding the short commentary to each measurement, to choose the language for the communication with the reader (there are 8 languages) and a lot of other user-defined settings.
The LAURA® has a standard interface (RS 232) for a connection to the Laboratory Information System (LIS). The interface is suitable for connection with a PC, also. The LAURA® has the standard connection (PS/2) for connection with an external keyboard or a barcode reader.
The software of LAURA® contains a special mode for keeping cleanliness and general hygiene during everyday work. This mode allows very easy access to all parts that are in contact with urine. This mode eases the maintenance and the cleaning of the reader. It is offered as a single-use plastic part, which can help with more comfortable keeping of hygiene during everyday working, and is intended for the waste container. The LAURA® automatically recognises if the waste container is too full and gives a message about it on the display.
