How to power ON the Analyzer 

1

Power on the Analyzer by pressing the ON/OFF button (Figure1). An automatic start-up procedure will be 

initiated. Please wait. 

Do not open the lid manually.



2

The automatic start-up procedure will be initiated shortly after the Analyzer has been powered on. The red 

light on the top of the Analyzer will turn on, indicating that the Analyzer is busy. The Analyzer is ready for use 

when the start-up menu is displayed and the green indicator light turns on.



3

Start-up menu 

The Analyzer’s software version (SW X.XX) will appear in the upper left corner of the Start-up menu screen. 

The temperature displayed in the Start-up menu is the operating analyzer temperature. Make sure that the 

operating temperature is within the recommended range for your Alere Afinion™ test (see the Package Insert 

for the Alere Afinion™ test). 

If the Analyzer fails during the start-up procedure, an information code will appear referring to a message 

given in the “Information codes and troubleshooting”, page 27–29.



How to power OFF the Analyzer

Power off the Analyzer by pressing the ON/OFF button (Figure 1). The Analyzer should be powered off after the end of a 

working day.

Please note: 

• When the power is turned off, a closing down procedure is initiated. The cartridge carriage will move to a safe position and the 

display will be active a few seconds while the Analyzer shuts down. The Analyzer can be powered off, or the power supply  

disconnected, without loss of stored results.

• The Analyzer can only be powered off when the cartridge chamber is empty and the lid is closed. If the ON/OFF button is pressed 

and the lid is open, the message ”Close lid” will appear on the screen.

How to operate the Analyzer

The Alere Afinion™ AS100 Analyzer has two main user interfaces, the touch screen and the cartridge chamber. The Analyzer is easily 

operated using the touch buttons that appear on the screen. When a button is touched, its function will be activated. Text messages 

that appear on the screen will help guide you through the testing procedure. The functions of the touch buttons are explained in the 

“Gallery of icons”, page 33–35. 

The other main operative part of the Alere Afinion™ AS100 Analyzer is the cartridge chamber. The cartridge chamber is designed to  

receive the Test Cartridge in one orientation only. The lid must be manually closed, but opens automatically. When a new Test Cartridge 

is placed in the chamber, manually closing the lid will initiate the analysis. When the analysis is complete the lid will open  

automatically. The lid protects the cartridge chamber from dust, dirt, light and humidity during processing and when the Analyzer is 

not in use. 

        •  The lid must be manually closed, but opens automatically. Do not open the lid manually. 

        •  Use the fingertips only on the touch screen. Do not use pens or other sharp instruments.

 

Screen saver 

The screen saver will turn on after 3 minutes, if the touch screen is not in use. To re-activate, touch the screen.



Light signals (the red and green LEDs)

The red diode is illuminated when the Analyzer is busy. A flashing red light is seen when an information code is displayed.  

The green diode is illuminated when the Analyzer is ready for use. A flashing green light indicates completion of an analysis.

Sound signals

A short beep indicates completion of an analysis. Two beeps mean that an information code or message is displayed.
