Wear
protective gloves
Blood is used as a measurement sample
with this analyzer. Be aware that blood may
be contaminated with pathogenic microbes
that may cause infectious disease. Exercise

2-2-3 Handling Reagent Strips
● ●
Do NOT use expired Reagent Strips.
Do NOT use deteriorated strips of which the
reagent fields show any sign of discoloration
or deformation, even if they are before the
e x p i r a t i o n d a t e . O t h e r w i s e , c o r r e c t
measurement results may not be obtained.
●
Take Reagent Strips out of the refrigerator
20 minutes before measurement and allow
them to reach room temperature (10 to
30
℃ ). Otherwise, correct measurement
results may not be obtained.
●
Open a reagent strip package immediately
before use. If the opened reagent strip is
left for a while, it will absorb water from the
air or gather dust, which may result in
incorrect measurement results.
●
Do NOT touch the reagent field on the
strip with fingers. Sebum on the
reagent field may result in incorrect
measurement results.
●
When a new reagent strip box is
opened, perform calibration by magnetic
card using the supplied Reagent Card
(see 2-5-2).
