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. 4 Unpack and Installation 4.1 Unpack Carefully remove the SkanFlexi reader from the shipping box.

System crash/tablet seem to be “frozen” 2. Blurred screen when you start up SkanFlexi or when SkanFlexi is running 3. Recovery notification when you start up SkanFlexi In all these cases the “Reset pin” should be used. Please follow description above. 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 7 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.
