so that the tip of the pipette is at the bottom of the sample
tube; then press the START switch.
Do not remove the sample tube while the READY LED is
blinking; the sample is being aspirated.

two times), remove the sample tube.
12. When the READY LED turns on again, prepare the next
sample and repeat steps 8 - 11.
Caution!
To remove the sample tube, pull straight down to
prevent bending the manual aspiration pipette.
Otherwise the blood may scatter.
Note:
The manual aspiration pipette is automatically rinsed,
and does not need to be wiped manually.

If a message calling for reagent replacement is
displayed during analysis, replace with new reagent. If
the replace reagent sequence is executed when
reagent amount is insufficient, bubbles may occur,
resulting in higher background value.
