Step 6: Mix the sample
Gently fl ip the capillary tube two times to mix your
blood sample with the dilution buff er.
Step 7:Transfer the collected blood onto the Bloom Test strip
immediately
1� Open the Bloom Test strip pouch.
2� Place the Bloom Test strip on a fl at surface.
3� Empty the fi lled capillary tube onto the sample window of the
Bloom Test strip by pushing down the colored piston. Ensure
that the capillary tube is completely emptied onto the test strip
Step 8: Let sample sink in
1� Tap the “Confi rm” button in the Bloom App.
2� Wait for absorption (see Bloom App timer).
Caution: Examination results can be aff ected if the Bloom Test
strip is moved before the liquid sample has been absorbed,
dropped or not handled as intended.
Step 9: Insert Bloom Test strip into Bloom Lab
1� Insert the Bloom Test strip into the Bloom Lab. You should
feel the Bloom Test strip lock into place. The Bloom Lab will
show a white heartbeat pulse on the LED ring when the test
strip is inserted correctly.
Insert Bloom Test strip into the Bloom Lab�
2� Processing begins. The progress of the measurement is
communicated by the LED ring of the Bloom Lab with a
spinning white loader. The Bloom App shows the estimated
time remaining�
3� Once processing has been completed, the Bloom App indi-
cates the successful completion of the testing�
Caution:
• Place the Bloom Lab on a stable, fl at surface and do not move
the device during measurement.
• Do not remove the Bloom Test strip from the Bloom Lab
during the testing procedure.
• Ensure that the Bloom Lab does not come into contact with blood.
• Make sure that the Bloom Test strip is clean and free from
dust before inserting it into the Bloom Lab.
Possible errors:
• In case of a recoverable error, the LED ring of the Bloom Lab
will show a red pattern, indicating that something went wrong.
• In case of a fatal error, such as a general error requiring service
of the Bloom Lab or power adapter, the LED ring of the Bloom
Lab will show a solid red ring, indicating that a general hard-
ware failure error occurred.
Step 10: Dispose components
The used Bloom Ferritin Test components are potentially biohaz-
ardous. Please dispose of them carefully according to applicable
laws and regulations.
4.3. Process sampling and report collection
The fi nal step of the testing process is to complete the questions
needed to compile the personalized Bloom Ferritin Report using
the Bloom App. While the Bloom Lab is processing the test result,
the Bloom App will prompt you to do the following:
