4. With cartridge on flat surface, hold syringe tip or pipette
tip over inlet port on cartridge. Gently press syringe
plunger or pipette bulb to deliver a single drop of blood
to the inlet port.
Blood must reach fill mark on cartridge.
Add a second small drop to inlet port if
necessary. Some blood may be on outside
of port - this will not affect result.
5. Hold cartridge side edges between thumb and index
finger away from the inlet port. Use thumb of other
hand to slide the plastic closure clip to the right until it
locks into place. Keep fingers away from other side of
clip to avoid getting blood on gloves.
6. Push cartridge into analyzer port until cartridge clicks
into place. The analyzer will first display
“Identifying Cartridge”, then a time-to-result bar.
Results will be shown in 10 minutes.
The analyzer must remain on a level surface with the display facing up during
testing. A level surface includes running the analyzer in the downloader/recharger.
Motion of the analyzer during testing can increase the frequency of suppressed
results or quality check codes.
