Safety Precautions

Note: If the equipment is used in a manner other than specified, the protection provided by the

equipment may be impaired.

The analyzer does not contain any user-serviceable components. DO NOT disassemble.

Line voltage for the Catalyst One AC power adapter is 100–240 V AC, 50–60 Hz. Be sure to plug all

equipment into properly grounded electrical outlets.

Use only the AC power adapter and AC power cable supplied.

Disconnect the AC power cable from the wall outlet if the:

• AC power cable or the DC power cord becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.

• AC power adapter is exposed to water or other liquids.

Performance Precaution

Do not use certain liquids, aerosols (such as canned air), solvents, ammonia, and other substances

on or near the analyzer which could influence results.

Care of the Analyzer

It is recommended that you do not stack other equipment or containers on top of the analyzer.

Keep analyzer away from sources of heat or flames.

PROTECT your equipment from damp conditions, wet weather, or liquid spills.

Take care not to spill water or other liquids on the unit.

DO NOT use solvents, ink markers, sprays containing volatile liquids, or polish on the analyzer as it

may damage the outer case. Clean only with a mild soap and slightly moist cloth and only when the

analyzer is not in use.

Clean only with a mild soap and slightly moist cloth and only when the analyzer is not in use.

International Symbol Descriptions

International symbols are often used on packaging to provide a pictorial representation of particular

information related to the product (such as expiration date, temperature limitations, batch code,

etc.). IDEXX Laboratories has adopted the use of international symbols on our analyzers, product

boxes, labels, inserts, and manuals in an effort to provide our users with easy-to-read information.

Introduction

Welcome to IDEXX’s next-generation chemistry analyzer—the Catalyst One* Chemistry Analyzer.

The Catalyst One analyzer’s flexible test menu allows you to monitor the health status of specific

organs, recheck values over time, customize profiles by adding single tests to CLIPs. You can even

run up to 25 testson a single sample (for a complete list of the individual slides and CLIPs available,

see page 12).

The Catalyst One analyzer is for veterinary use only.

IDEXX VetLab*Station Connectivity

The Catalyst One analyzer is part of the IDEXX VetLab* suite of analyzers, all of which connect

to the IDEXX VetLab Station (IDEXX’s laboratory information management system). Connecting

multiple analyzers to the IDEXX VetLab Station helps you attain a comprehensive picture of your

patient’s health, with the ability to view test results from multiple analyzers on a single report,

determine disease progression with parameter-trending capabilities, and more.

By connecting the Catalyst One analyzer to the IDEXX VetLab Station, you can:

• Automatically review patients’ prior results on every printout for easy comparison.

• Improve client communications with illustrated diagnostic or treatment progress printouts.

• Link to expert descriptions and common causes of abnormal values.

• Print information to help explain the significance of results to your clients.

• Allow new staff to train independently.

• Learn proper protocols and tips for best techniques.

IDEXX Dry-Slide Technology

The Catalyst One analyzer uses dry-slide technology—the most accurate technology available for

in-house testing. Dry-slide technology uses layers to remove impurities for the most accurate results

from even compromised samples.

Patient sample is applied to

the top of the spreading layer

Optical interface

Indicator layer

Filtering layer

Filters out substances that interfere with results

How it Works

There are several important steps that the analyzer performs in order to present the results of

a sample. Once the slides and sample have been inserted into the analyzer, the Catalyst One

analyzer incubates the slides. Then, if using a Catalyst* whole blood separator, the plasma is

separated from a whole blood sample. The sample is then accurately dispensed onto the slides,

the analyzer measures the color development of the slide, and then all used materials are removed

from the analyzer.

Analyzer Status

The light-emitting diode (LED) indicator on the front panel of the Catalyst One analyzer indicates the

analyzer’s status.

Note: You can also view the analyzer status by viewing its icon on the IDEXX VetLab Station Home

screen.

LED Color Description

Green (steady) READY; analyzer is ready to process samples or perform

maintenance tasks

Green (pulse) STANDBY MODE

Yellow (steady) IN PROCESS; analyzer is processing a sample or performing

another activity

Yellow (pulse) Analyzer is waiting for the user to begin processing a sample after

receiving the patient information from the IDEXX VetLab Station

Red (flashing) ERROR; an error has occurred; review error or alert messages on

the IDEXX VetLab Station
