3.1.1 Coaxial Power Port
The BD Veritor Plus Analyzer features a rechargeable lithium-ion battery for portable usage and includes an AC power adapter to recharge
the battery or to directly power the unit from a facility power supply.
To charge the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer, plug the cylindrical end of the charger into the corresponding port on the back of the Analyzer and
plug the power adapter into the facility power source.
The BD Veritor Plus Analyzer can be externally powered only from the coaxial power port on the rear of the instrument. The Analyzer
cannot be powered through its USB port. When the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer is properly connected to the facility power supply and powered
on, the Plug icon will appear on the screen as shown below in section 3.1.3.
3.1.2 Power Button
To power on the Analyzer, depress the power button. After doing so, the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer screen will display the BD Logo, then
enter a self-test mode. After the self-test is completed successfully, the Analyzer is ready to test and will prompt the user to insert a test
device.
BD Veritor Plus Analyzers that have an optional module installed may prompt the user for additional workflow steps during the power-on
process. For instructions relating to these steps, see section 4.
To power off the Analyzer, depress the power button for at least half a second and release.
If the Analyzer is left unattended for 15 minutes (when operating on the internal battery), or 60 minutes (when operating on the external
power adapter), the Analyzer will automatically shut off and the test result will not be retained on the screen.
