Step 8: Dispose components
The used Bloom COVID-19 Test components are potentially
biohazardous. Please dispose of them carefully according to
applicable laws and regulations.
4.3. Process sampling and report collection
The final step of the testing process is to complete the ques-
tions needed to compile the personalized Bloom COVID-
19 Report using the Bloom App. While the Bloom Lab is
processing the test result, the Bloom App will prompt you to
do the following:
Check your Bloom App
1. Answer the questions. When you are presented with a
multiple-choice question, choose all answers that apply
and then confirm to proceed.
2. After around 10-minutes, the results from the Bloom Lab
will be transmitted to the Bloom App. The app will alert
you that the Bloom COVID-19 Report is ready.
3. View the personalized Bloom COVID-19 Report.
Information: If the Bloom App disconnects from the Bloom
Lab during the measurement process, the Bloom Lab com-
pletes the measurement process and saves the measure-
ment value locally for a 3-hour period. If the same Bloom
App reconnects with the Bloom Lab during this period, the
saved measurement value will be sent to the Bloom App
and the Bloom Lab will subsequently delete the measure-
ment value and any unique identifi er of the Bloom App.
After a 10-minute period other Bloom Apps will be able
to connect to the Bloom Lab and perform new tests, which
will automatically delete the previous results.
4.4. Device cleaning
Caution: Please use protective equipment, such as gloves,
when cleaning the surfaces of the Bloom Lab to avoid
contamination.
After performing the Bloom COVID-19 Test, please make
sure to leave a clean workspace. Thoroughly wipe all
surfaces of the Bloom Lab after every use with the provided
disinfection cleaning wipe. Please check gaps for stains and
clean thoroughly when needed.
5. Storage
In order to avoid hazardous situations, the Bloom COVID-19
Test should be stored with care at all times, this includes:
• The recommended storage temperature b8°C
and +30°C (46°F and 86°F)
• A dry indoors environment without direct or excessive heat
and humidity below 80% (bathrooms not suitable)
• Out of reach for children to avoid injury through misuse of
components like lancets.
6. Bloom Lab LED indications
The Bloom Lab performs a self test during each start-up of the
device. Additional internal tests are performed during each
measurement to check for the correct function of the device.
The proper function of the Bloom Lab is indicated via the LED
indicator at the front of the device. See section 6.1. for more
information. In case of malfunction, the user is informed by
the Bloom App and the LED indicator (see table N°1).
6.1. Proper function
The correct function and readiness of the Bloom Lab are
indicated by the LED ring. See table N°1 for the meaning of
the various indications:
