continuous process. The microcuvette shall be completely filled. Do NOT
refill!
10. Wipe off excess blood from the outer surface of the microcuvette with lint
free tissue, being careful not to touch the open end of the microcuvette.
11. Look for air bubbles in the filled microcuvette. If present, take a new sample.
Small bubbles around the edge can be ignored.
Note: If a second sample is to be taken from the same fingerstick, it is important
that this should be done after the first sample has been read. Wipe away the
remains of the first sample and take a second one from a new drop of blood.
