Functional description

The Dräger DrugTest 5000 test system consists of the unit-
based development and evaluation of immunochemical test
strips. Samples collected with the Dräger DrugTest 5000 test
kit are processed by the Dräger DrugTest 5000 Analyzer. The
Analyzer generates the required reaction temperature and
brings the test strips, which are also part of the test kit, in
contact with the sample. After the required reaction time
controlled by the Analyzer the test strips are analysed by an
optical method which measures the intensity of lines appearing
on the test strip.
You will find details on the specific detection method used in
special test kits in the respective Instructions for Use of the
selected DrugTest 5000 test kit.
The rechargeable battery integrated in the Analyzer allows
both stationary and portable use of the Dräger DrugTest 5000
test system.

Operating modes

The Dräger DrugTest 5000 Analyzer has three operating
modes:
Readiness The unit is ready to measure after switch on and
:
successful self test. The three keys and the display of the unit
light up.
Standby: After a predefined period of time of inactivity in
readiness the unit will switch to standby. The keys on the unit
are still lit, the display is switched off. You can quit standby
mode and return the unit to immediate readiness by pressing
any key.
Automatic switch-off: After a predefined period of time of
inactivity in standby the unit will switch off automatically. It has
to be switched on again before the next application.
2.4 State of charge of the integrated
rechargeable battery
CAUTION
!
The built-in rechargeable battery will be damaged if the
unit is stored with a discharged battery.
NOTICE
i i
For optimal care of the battery, the unit should always
be connected to the mains via the charger. The unit
automatically ensures the best care of the battery
(trickle charging).
Recharge the battery immediately after each use and
avoid storing the unit with incompletely charged
battery.
The state of charge indicator in the title bar of the display
shows a symbol for the current mode (mains-operated/
portable operation) and the state of charge of the integrated
rechargeable battery.
Illustrations of the various charge state symbols see
"Explanation of Symbols" on page 8.

2.4.1 Mains operation
Standard mode
The Analyzer is connected to an external power source.
Restricted mode
The internal battery is not sufficiently charged or defec-
tive. A yellow warning triangle is depicted additionally. It
is now possible to operate the unit while connected to
the mains power; however, it is not possible to switch to
portable operation.
2.4.2 Portable operation
During portable operation, a battery symbol indicates the
charge status of the integrated rechargeable battery:
Standard mode
The battery is fully charged.
With decreasing charge, the grey fill colour in the symbol
will also decrease.
The battery is almost empty once only the outline of the
icon is visible and a yellow warning triangle appears is
addition.
Almost discharged battery
The battery is running low, indicated by an unfilled red
battery symbol.
Immediately connect the unit to the external power
supply to finish the measurement and avoid data loss.
Completely discharged battery
The battery is fully discharged. This is indicated by an
unfilled white battery symbol on a red background.
Portable operation is not possible. Unless a power sup-
ply unit is connected, the unit will switch itself off a few
seconds after this state is reached to avoid damaging
the battery.
Defective battery
Battery is faulty. A red "x" is displayed next to an unfilled
battery symbol. Operating the Analyzer is only possible
if a power supply unit is connected..
