Calibration and performance characteristics
The SkanFlexi reader’s touch display and the scanner part are calibrated and the
optical performance quality checked as part of the QC in the manufacturing process.
The scanner part is further recalibrated by the SW every 2nd week.
The performance characteristics of the reader have been evaluated. In a study the
intra variation and inter variation between 4SkanFlexi readers showed CVs below
5%.The computed results were calculated as property values;
(test – background)/(control – background).
Standard curves or thresholds for the different tests are established by the test
manufacturer. It is included as part of the barcode following each cassette or template
and read by the reader’s SW.
Intended use
“The intended use of the SkanFlexi reader is to scan, read and calculate results from
lateral flow tests within the market areas in vitro diagnostics (IVD), e.g. later flow
cassettes in Myocardial markers, CtnI, Myoglobin, CK‐MB, H‐FABP, etc., or infectious
disease, HbsAg, HbsAb, HCV, HP, etc., or venereal disease, TP, Chlamydia, NGH, PSA,
CEA, etc., drugs of abuse, veterinary diagnostics, food and feed and environmental in
body fluids and other extracted biological liquids.”
Indications for use:
It is indicated for both quantitative and qualitative tests. To detect variable
biomolecules within human body fluids, and liquid extracts from agricultural, animal
and environmental samples.
The SkanFlexi product is enabled by a program key allowing customers to upgrade the
proprietary software directly from Web or a USB memory stick.
It is indicated for rapid analysis on site. The user interface shall be designed such that a
lay user shall be able to operate the system in such a way that errors of operation and
result interpretation are minimized to an acceptable level.

Maintenance
6.1
Daily cleaning

Keep reader clean by using a damp cloth

Scanner surface may be cleaned/decontaminated with alcohol if necessary

Touch screen shall be cleaned with special tissues intended for resistive screen

Do not use aggressive solvents such as acetone.
16

Precautions
7.1
Environment light
Keep SkanFlexi out of direct sun light or other strong light sources as this can cause
interference when scanning, which again can result in wrong or no results.
7.2
Environment in general
Protect the reader from high humidity and extensive contact to liquids.
Do not expose the reader to extensive heat.
In some cases a poor ground connection in socket and interference of some large
medical equipment (X‐ray machine, CT machine), can cause that the SkanFlexi get
Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) problem. This can be seen as a series of small
circles/rectangles appearing when touching the panel. This can make it difficult to
touch the correct position. Changing to socket with better grounding or moving
SkanFlexi away from interference environment will resolve this kind of problem.
Transportation and storage
8.1
Transportation
SkanFlexi must be transported in the same packing material as it was received in.
Transportation should be done using a common shipping company under normal
conditions.
8.2.
Storage
SkanFlexi should be stored in an up‐right position in the original packing material,
indoor and under normal room temperature and environment conditions. Avoid
direct sunlight. For more details see table 2.1.
