The Instrument display will prompt when to
apply the sample.
Apply the sample directly to the circular
Sample Application Area on top of the Test

Application Area. Refer to the “Handling Test
Strips” chapter in this Platform User Manual for
sample application instructions.
The Test Strip draws up the sample by capillary
action.

Pay attention to the countdown for
sample application to avoid test errors. This
will be displayed as a countdown bar, and
the Instrument will sound with 10 seconds
remaining. If the sample is not applied by
the end of the countdown the Instrument will
display an error message.
When the sample is detected the Instrument
will sound and a confirmation message will be
