Convergys® Urine Matrix

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Convergys® Urine Matrix urine test strips are designed for in vitro diagnostic use, providing screening information on carbohydrate metabolism, hypertension, kidney and liver function, acid-base balance, and urinary tract infections. They are protected against ascorbic acid interference, ensuring accurate measurements even at high concentrations of ascorbic acid.
Specifications: The test strips are available in various configurations, each designed to test specific parameters such as Specific Gravity, Leucocytes, Nitrite, pH, Protein, Glucose, Ketones, Urobilinogen, Bilirubin, Blood, Creatinine, and Microalbumin. The strips are compatible with the Convergys Urostar® 100 urine strip analyzer.
Convergys Urostar® 100 Analyzer: This device is a semi-quantitative reflex photometer with enhanced sensitivity and protection against ascorbic acid interference. It features a throughput of 60 tests per hour with internal incubation and 240 tests per hour with external incubation. The analyzer supports automatic calibration and has a user-friendly interface with connectivity options for external devices.
Performance Characteristics: The test pads have specific sensitivities and specificities for various substances, with certain interferences noted for each parameter. For example, high concentrations of bilirubin can affect the leukocyte test, while alkaline urine can interfere with protein measurements.
Interpretation of Results: The document provides guidelines for interpreting results, particularly for albumin and creatinine levels, which are critical for detecting microalbuminuria and assessing kidney function.
Importance of Kidney Care: Regular urinary checks for albumin are recommended for early detection of kidney disease, which is crucial for managing diabetes-related complications and preventing severe outcomes like cardiovascular disease.
Main Features: The Convergys Urostar® 100 includes features such as a reflectance photometer with multiple LEDs, automatic strip configuration recognition, and a lightweight, portable design suitable for point-of-care applications. It also offers data transfer capabilities via RS 232 and USB ports.
