Sample Application
For best results, fill the sample application area with approximately 10 µL of blood. Incorrect
results may occur if the sample is not applied correctly or if the sample application area is
not filled.
After applying the sample, ensure the sample application area is completely covered as
shown in the above picture. This area should remain covered throughout the entire test. If it
is not covered, or if there is too much specimen covering the area, repeat the test with a new
test strip.
Note:
Do not add more blood to the test strip if the sample applied to the sample application
area. When a “
Lo ” or “ E-5 ” appears on the display, check the back side of the sample
application area to confirm whether or not enough blood has been applied as in the
above picture. Discard the used strip and retest with a new strip.
Each package of test strips is printed with a code number (Code), lot number (Lot),
expiration date (Exp), and test quantity (Quantity) in a vial. Whenever a new vial is opened,
mark the date on the label.
