Once you have reviewed the content on this page, you may proceed to the assessment portion of the course. In this course, you have learned how to: Identify CLINITEK Status® Connect System features The Connect System allows wired and wireless network connectivity and centralized control of satellite Point of Care CLINITEK Status®+ Analyzers. The Connect System also provides the capability to communicate with remote Hospital and Laboratory Information Systems and interface with Electronic Medical Records. Other features include: Barcode scanner for automatic data entry QC Lockout and QC reminders Operator Management and Security Password Protection Data Management Customized Urine Colors Recall Results transmitted to alternate computers Configuration settings copied to multiple analyzers Identify steps to unpack the connector platform Unpack the Connect System and inventory the parts to confirm all components have been received. If you are installing the analyzer at the same time as the Connect System, refer to the CLINITEK Status®+ Analyzer Setup online module for additional information. Document the serial number and date of installation of your CLINITEK Status® Connect Platform. The serial number is located on the bottom of the Connector. Identify steps to install the connector platform and optional bar code scanner If upgrading an analyzer to the Connect Platform, begin by removing the test table. Turn the analyzer off, unplug it from the main power supply and remove all cables and cords. Slide the adhesive clips into the slots on the connector, aligning them vertically with the far left and far right sides of the slots. Remove the adhesive backing then place the analyzer on top of the connector. Press firmly to secure the clips. Note: Use caution whenever moving the connect system as the two units are not securely attached and could separate. Connect the white plug of the 3” DC power cable to the connector and the black plug to the analyzer. Next, connect the system to the network by inserting an optional wireless card into the rear USB port or inserting the supplied Ethernet network cable into the RJ45 port and a LAN socket. Finally, connect the 6” RS-232 cable to the analyzer and connector. Plug the AC power cord into the power supply adaptor and plug the adaptor into the connector. Next, plug the AC power cord into an AC electrical wall outlet.  Connect the optional bar code scanner to the serial RS232 port located on the side of the connector. Turn the analyzer on and note the Model Name, Software Version, and Copyright Information that appears on the screen. Identify key components of the Connect Platform   Connect Platform connects to CLINITEK Status®+ Analyzer and allows network connectivity, communication with LIS, and connections to external devices, such as printers and PCs DC power cable connects connector to the analyzer Wireless card allows bidirectional communication with an external LIS via wireless connectivity Ethernet Cable allows bidirectional communication with an external LIS via wired connectivity Two USB 2.0 ports allow connection to external devices, such as wireless card or memory stick RJ45 port allows connection to Ethernet cable for wired connectivity Three RS232 serial ports connect the analyzer to the Connector Platform, as well as external devices, such as a PC, LIS, or printer Serial (RS232) cable connects LIS or PC to one of three serial (RS232) ports Power supply adaptor and cord to AC outlet Provides AC power to analyzer and connector Barcode Scanner allows automatic data entry into the system, such as Operator ID, Operator Name, patient name, patient ID, QC control name, and QC level name Identify startup tasks to enable the Connect Platform to communicate with the CLINITEK Status®+ Analyzer After the analyzer is turned on, an onscreen message displays that the System Test is in progress. The system tests hardware functionality to verify that the internal optics and mechanical system are operating correctly. If you are installing the CLINITEK Status®+ Analyzer and the Connect Platform at the same time, the next screen that appears is the Start-Up Wizard which is used to set basic system functionality. Note: Refer to the CLINITEK Status®+ Analyzer Instrument Setup online training course for more information. From the Select Ready screen, touch the Instrument Set Up button.  On the Instrument Settings screen, use the arrow keys to select Connectivity and then touch theSelect button. On the first Connectivity screen, touch Enabled to enable communication between the connector platform and the analyzer. Then touch the Next button. The second Connectivity screen allows you to set network connectivity options. You will learn more about this task in the CLINITEK Status® Connect System Configuration and Data Management online training course. To return to the Select Ready screen, touch the Done button on each screen that appears. Select Next to continue.   CLINITEK Status® Connect System features: Wired, Wireless or Serial connectivity available via new communication protocols: HL7 and POCT1-A2 Connectivity options to interface to LIS/HIS directly or via Point of Care data management software or to Electronic Medical Record (EMR) software. Bar code scanner for automatic data entry Advanced Operator Management and operator lock-out Password protection Data management QC Lockout and QC Reminders Recalled results transmission to alternative computers Configuration settings copies for multiple analyzers Customized urine colors Note: To use the CLINITEK Status® Connect System, both the Connector Platform and CLINITEK Status®+ Analyzer require software version 2.0 or later. Select Next to continue.   Unpack the Connector Platform and check for the parts: Connector Ethernet cable Power supply adaptor DC power cable (3”) RS-232 cable (6”) Plastic clips   The carton also contains a Documentation CD, Quick Reference Guide, and CLINITEK Status® Connect System Operator’s Guide. If you are installing the analyzer at the same time as the Connector, refer to the CLINITEK Status®+ Analyzer Setup online module for additional information. Tip: Retain the shipping carton and packing materials, which offer the best protection against damage if you need to ship the connector platform. Documenting Serial Number and Installation Data Learn about documenting serial number and installation date. For future reference, be sure to document the serial number and date of installation of your CLINITEK Status® Connector. The serial number is located on the bottom of the Connector. Document the serial number and installation date in the spaces provided. Return the Warranty information to your local Siemens office. When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue.   If you are upgrading your analyzer to the Connect System, begin by removing the test table.
