Chapter 1 Tips:
- Do not remove the device from the foil packaging until you are ready to run the test.
- Once a test is plugged in and processing, do not unplug or move the device.
If you’d like to complete a control run during this video training, please have all the supplies nearby:
- 2 Visby Testing Devices (to run controls simultaneously)
- 2 Visby Power Adapters (to run controls simultaneously)
- 2 ZeptoMetrix control vials. (1 positive & 1 negative vial pulled from the refrigerator as close to training time as possible)
- Gloves (best practices)
- Chuck or Paper Towel (to avoid contamination)
Chapter 2 Tips:
Patient Samples:- The patient sample in the Visby Medical Collection Media is stable for 4 hours at room temperature. Mix the sample by gently inverting the specimen 5 times, prior to loading the sample into the device.
- If needed, you may freeze a patient sample for up to 90 days. If using a frozen specimen, allow the sample to thaw for approximately 1-2 hours prior to use. Invert the sample 5 times prior to loading the sample into the device.
ZeptoMetrix™ Controls:
- If using a control vial, there is no dilution step and no wait time from the refrigerator. Use a refrigerated control vial as if it were a refrigerated patient specimen. Invert the sample 5 times prior to loading the sample into the device.
- Clinical Lab Managers often have their staff notate on the exterior of the Visby Device Box the date controls were run so that it’s easy to identify boxes ready for use, or new orders that require a control to be run.
Chapter 3 Tips:
- Treat the pipette similar to an eye dropper, squeeze the upper bulb of the provided pipette prior to submerging the tip to the bottom of the sample tube.
- Do not invert the pipette once the sample is loaded. Doing so may create air bubbles in the shaft.
- Some fluid will remain in the lower bulb of the pipette.
- Once the sample is loaded into the device, keep the upper bulb squeezed as the pipette tip is removed from loading the sample as to not asperate liquid back into the pipette shaft.
- To avoid contamination, do NOT set the pipette down on the counter space. Immediately discard the pipette according to your institution’s guidelines.
Chapter 4 Tips:
- Once a test is plugged in and processing, do not unplug or move the device.
- The results will be ready in approximately 28 minutes.
If you are watching this video while running a Visby test, please pause now. After 28 minutes, the test you are running should be complete. When you resume watching, begin with Chapter 5.
Chapter 5 Tips:
- If a retest is required, use the same patient sample as long as it has been properly stored (≤ 4 hours at room – refrigerated) with a new Visby Medical Sexual Health device and new Visby pipette. Be sure to invert the specimen 5 times prior to loading the sample into the device.
- Dispose of the device and other materials according to your institution’s guidelines.

Chapter 1 Tips
- If the pipette has bubbles or an air gap, dispense the sample back into the sample tube and try aspirating again by slowly releasing the upper bulb.
To request additional pipettes for practice, please contact Visby Training.
