2 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).
