Press the front panel power button. The BD Veritor Plus Analyzer will complete a self-test before it is ready for use. After the self-test
completes and any temporary messages are presented, the display window shows INSERT TEST DEVICE OR DOUBLE-CLICK
BUTTON FOR WALK AWAY MODE.
If an InfoScan module is installed:
The display window shows SCAN CONFIG BARCODE for 2 seconds after the self-test. This is an optional step, no action is required.
To perform instrument configuration, refer to section 4.6 for configuration instructions.

When the display window shows INSERT TEST DEVICE OR DOUBLE-CLICK BUTTON FOR WALK AWAY MODE, insert the fully
developed BD Veritor Test Device into the slot on the right side of the Analyzer, aligning the insertion arrow on the test device with the
arrow above the slot. Insert the device fully until it stops. A distinctive "click" will be noted when the device is properly aligned in the
Analyzer.
If an InfoScan module is installed:
a
If the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer has been configured with barcode ID – Enable Operator ID, it will display SCAN OPERATOR ID.
When this message is displayed, after verifying that the Operator ID to be scanned is correct, the operator should scan his/her
identification barcode. This message is displayed for up to 30 seconds, after which the BD Veritor Test Device must be removed
and the read process restarted with step 5. After a specific Operator Identification has been recorded, that Operator Identification
will be utilized for all subsequent tests until the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer is powered off. On the next power cycle, the SCAN
OPERATOR ID prompt will be repeated during the first test. A test result cannot be generated if an Operator ID is not scanned
when the Operator ID workflow option is enabled.
BD recommends reading Operator Identification barcodes with the Analyzer positioned at the edge of a flat surface. The barcode
should then be moved toward the barcode window to be scanned. The scanned barcode value will be shown in the next display
window.
b
If the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer has been configured with barcode ID – Enable Specimen ID, it will display SCAN SPECIMEN ID.
When this message is displayed, after verifying that the Specimen ID is correct, the operator should scan the specimen's
identification barcode. This message is displayed for up to 30 seconds, after which the BD Veritor Test Device must be removed
and the read process restarted with step 5. The Specimen ID scan prompt is repeated for every test. A test result cannot be
generated if a Specimen ID is not scanned when the Specimen ID workflow option is enabled.
BD recommends reading Specimen Identification barcodes with the Analyzer positioned at the edge of a flat surface. The barcode
should then be moved towards the barcode window to be scanned. The scanned barcode value will be shown in the next display
window.
c
If the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer has been configured with barcode ID – Enable Kit Lot Information, it will display SCAN KIT LOT
NUMBER. When this message is displayed, the operator should scan the barcode on the exterior of the BD Veritor Test Kit box.
This message is displayed for up to 30 seconds, after which the BD Veritor Test Device must be removed and the read process
restarted with step 5. The Kit Lot Number scan prompt is repeated for every test. A test result cannot be generated if the Kit Lot
Number is not scanned when the Kit Information workflow option is enabled.
If the BD Veritor Test Kit box label has two barcodes, scan only the upper barcode which starts with (17).
BD recommends reading the Kit Information barcode with the Analyzer positioned at the edge of a flat surface. The barcode
should then be moved toward the barcode window to be scanned. The scanned barcode value will be shown in the next
display window.

After insertion of the test device, the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer will progress through two processing steps: a reading step, followed by
an analyzing step. The display will show the remaining time for each step as they are performed. Do not touch the Analyzer or remove
the test device during this time.
7
When the analysis is complete, the test result will be displayed with the name of the test and a result. Refer to the package insert for
the BD Veritor Test Device for specific result interpretations. If a printer is connected to the unit and powered on, the test result will
automatically be sent to the printer.
If an InfoScan module is installed:
If the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer has been configured with barcode ID – Enable Specimen ID, the specimen identification is also
displayed on the screen.
8
Verify that the test type and specimen identification (if appropriate) are correct.
9
Once the test type and specimen identification, if appropriate, is verified and the result noted, remove the test device by pulling it out.
The display will show INSERT TEST DEVICE OR DOUBLE-CLICK BUTTON FOR WALK AWAY MODE to indicate the Analyzer is
ready to perform another test.
