Overview of System Components

The VerifyNow System consists of an instrument (hardware, software), disposable test devices, sample

collection tubes, and quality control materials. This section provides a brief overview of each component

of the system, beginning with the instrument.

2.1

Instrument

The VerifyNow instrument provides the platform for an automated test. It receives a test device and

sample collection tube inserted into the test device port. Then, it automatically draws the blood sample

into the test device and proceeds with the analysis of the sample. An operator specifies an automated

activity and retrieves test results using the display screen, keypad, and icon keys (Figure 2-1).
