VetScan® VSpro Installation Guide

Your Operator's Manual is the most complete, essential reference for the VetScan VSpro Coagulation Analyzer. Always refer to the Operator's Manual for detailed instructions. Place the manual in a convenient place for easy access.

Step 1: Unpack the analyzer and accessories.

  1. Place the box of test cartridges in the refrigerator (2-8° C, 36-46° F) immediately upon arrival.
  2. Remove the analyzer from the box and place on a level surface, free of vibration and sudden jolts. The analyzer should be at least 6 inches from the wall for access to the power connection and USB ports.
  3. Complete and mail in the warranty card.

Step 2: Set up analyzer and electrical connections.

  1. Attach AC supply cord to power adaptor.
  2. Attach DC power supply cord to the back of the VSpro.
  3. Plug AC supply cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
  4. Make sure all connections are secure.

Note: To prevent power surges or drains, do not plug the VSpro into the same circuit as your centrifuge, refrigerator or other high current device. Abaxis® recommends that the VSpro be plugged into a surge protector designed for use with a computer. Abaxis recommends the use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) if the VSpro will be used in an area prone to electrical surges or power outages.

Step 3: Setting the System Parameters.

  1. Turn on the VetScan VSpro by pressing the Power button on the front of the instrument. The system will start up and will go through a self-test sequence.
  2. Check the analyzer's date and time to ensure they are correct by pressing the settings icon on the screen. The analyzer is pre-set to Pacific Time. The date, time, date/time format and language can be changed by pressing the blue arrow button to the right of each option. See the Operator's Manual for details.

If at any time, the normal sequence of events does not occur, refer to your Operator's Manual or call our Technical Support Department at 800-822-2947.
