1. Introduction
Welcome and thank you very much for choosing the
URYXXON® 500 urine analysis instrument from MACHEREY-
NAGEL.
The URYXXON® 500 is a fast and compact high perform-
ance reflexion photometer for urine analysis, designed to read
URYXXON® Stick 10 urine test strips. Equipped with a touch
screen and intuitive user guidance, the URYXXON® 500 as-
sures a quick, efficient and convenient work flow. Therefore, the
URYXXON® 500 is the ideal instrument for modern urine analy-
sis.
1.1. Technical description

As a light source, the instrument uses 4 LEDs of different wave-
length to illuminate the test pads’ surfaces. The reflected light is
detected by a photodiode. According to the instrument’s calibra-
tion, the reflected light is transformed into the analyte’s concen-
tration on the respective test pad.

2.7. Transport
To transport the instrument, the cardboard box from the initial
shipment including the protective foamed plastic is ideal. There-
fore, we recommend to keep the box. In case you do not have
the original box anymore, use a large cardboard box and plenty
of soft cushioning material, so that the instrument cannot shift
during transport.
Make sure to remove the transport rack before you ship the in-
strument (see Initial operation, chapter 5).

appears in which you can enter the patient ID, sequence no., as
well as pre-defined values for clarity and colour.
Note: The instrument features multiple different settings,
options and functions. We recommend to read the manual
carefully and to make individual adjustments, to ensure the
instrument functions at its best.
Before you insert the transport rack, make sure there is no

rack and align its feed holes with the corresponding rubber pins
on the transport panel.
The mounting direction of the transport rack is determined by

the asymmetrical feed holes / pins. Push the transport tray

If necessary, add supplemental information and place the next

Within a worklist, you cannot change the sequence numbers,
since the individual measurements are pre-defined by the
entries in the worklist.
Note: It is very important to place the strips onto the transport
rack according to the order defined by the worklist, so that the
correct strips will be measured for displayed ID.

Once you press the activity-button Internal check , the instrument
starts a self-test. During the process, both the LEDs and
the instrument’s mechanics are checked for their
operational capabilities. After the internal check, the
instrument prints values for the in- tensity of the LEDs. If you
have trouble with your instrument, you can send the LED
values to our technical service to get initial feedback on
your problem.

16.2. Weekly cleaning

Housing, transport rack and touch screen should be cleaned at
least once a week.
Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. If necessary, you can use
a mild cleaning agent. Then, dry the housing with a soft cloth.
Transport plate and the surface underneath the transport table
can be cleaned in the same way. Make sure that no water pen-
etrates the housing or gets into the printer.
We also recommend cleaning the transport rack on a regular
basis in the same way as the housing. Please make sure not
to use strongly alkaline cleaning agents on the transport rack.
To clean the touch screen, use a soft, lint-free cloth. If
necessary you can use special LCD cleaning fluid, which is
commercially available.
Note: Never use aggressive, organic solvents such as acetone
for cleaning the instrument. We recommend isopropanol for
cleaning and disinfection.
