Description
The CLINITEK Status+ Analyzer brings automated, standardized urinalysis to the point of care, reading Siemens reagent strips and the CLINITEST hCG cassette with results in about one minute. Its Auto-Checks technology verifies each strip as it runs, so the result a clinician acts on has already passed built in quality checks.
- Automated strip reading – removes the subjectivity of visual color matching, so results stay consistent from operator to operator
- Auto-Checks on every test – detects humidity exposure and identifies the strip type automatically, guarding data quality
- Results in about one minute – keeps the visit moving, with an automatic printed report for the chart
- Touchscreen operation – makes the analyzer easy to learn for rotating point of care staff
Main Description
Urinalysis is often the first test ordered when a patient presents with urinary symptoms, and at the point of care it has to be both fast and dependable. This analyzer automates the reading of Siemens urinalysis reagent strips, interpreting the color reactions instrumentally instead of relying on a visual comparison against a bottle chart. That removes a common source of variation between operators and between shifts. The built in Auto-Checks feature monitors for humidity exposure that can compromise a strip, identifies the strip type in use, and flags common sample interferences where that check applies. A broad test menu covers the routine chemistry panel plus albumin, creatinine, and pregnancy testing on one small benchtop unit. For clinics, urgent care centers, and hospital point of care programs, it delivers laboratory style discipline in a footprint that fits an exam room counter.
Features and Benefits
Automated Reading and Quality Checks
- Instrument read results – are produced in about one minute, replacing visual strip reading with a consistent automated interpretation
- Auto-Checks technology – detects humidity exposed strips and identifies strip types, and checks for common sample interferences where available
- Automatic calibration – runs as part of the analyzer routine, with no separate calibration strips or manual adjustment steps
Point of Care Workflow
- Touchscreen interface – guides the operator through testing, with room for 700 patient results and 700 operator IDs in memory
- Automatic printed report – documents each result at the time of testing for the patient record
- Battery operation – on six AA batteries supports testing away from a fixed workstation when needed

Why Choose This Product?
Many point of care sites still read urine strips by eye, which makes results depend on lighting, timing, and the individual operator. An instrument read program removes that variability and adds automatic quality checks to every single test. This analyzer is the established Siemens platform for doing exactly that in a compact format.
- Consistent results – instrument reading removes operator to operator variation, so trends in a patient record mean more
- Quality built in – Auto-Checks catch compromised strips before a bad result reaches the chart, protecting clinical decisions
- Broad menu, one unit – routine chemistry, albumin and creatinine testing, and hCG run on a single analyzer
- Proven point of care platform – the CLINITEK Status family is the reference design that Siemens connectivity upgrades build on
Frequently Asked Questions
What test strips does this analyzer use?
It reads Siemens urinalysis reagent strips, including the Multistix and CLINITEK strip families, and it also runs the CLINITEST hCG cassette for pregnancy testing. The Auto-Checks feature identifies the strip type automatically as part of each run.
How fast are results available?
Results are produced in about one minute per test. The analyzer also generates an automatic printed report, so the result can be filed in the patient record right away.
What do the three configurations change?
All three configurations are the same analyzer hardware. They differ only in the warranty term supplied with the unit, at 12, 36, or 60 months, so a site can match coverage to its service planning.
Does the analyzer store results?
Yes. Memory holds up to 700 patient results and 700 operator IDs, which supports operator tracking in a point of care program. A unidirectional RS232 interface is provided for data transfer.
Can it run away from a desk?
Yes. In addition to line power at 100 to 240 VAC, the analyzer operates on six AA batteries. Its 3.65 lb weight and compact footprint make it practical to move between rooms.
What quality checks run automatically?
Auto-Checks detect humidity exposure that can affect strip performance and identify the strip type in use. On supported configurations the analyzer also checks for common sample interferences, a check that is not available in the United States.
