Capillary Blood:
Blood from the smallest
blood vessels of the body - usually obtained
from a fingerstick.
Data Port:
The port located on the top
left side of the monitor for connecting to a
computer.
Electrodes:
The part of the test strip
that generates an electrical current that is
impeded by the blood sample once it mixes
with coagulation reagents.
Fingerstick:
A small puncture to the finger.
Hanging Drop:
A drop of blood that forms
after a fingerstick that is large enough to hang
from the fingertip. Collecting a
hanging drop helps to ensure that an
adequate sample (at least 15μL) is being
applied.
Hematocrit:
The percentage of your blood
that is red blood cells.
Heparin:
A medication taken by injection
that is used to prevent the formation of blood
clots by inactivating thrombin.
Hemoglobin:
The oxygen-carrying
pigment and main protein in red blood cells.
Hemolysis:
The destruction of red blood cells
leading to the release of hemoglobin from
within the red blood cells into blood plasma.
Leaving alcohol on the fingertip puncture site
prior to a fingerstick may lead to hemolysis.
Hemolysis should be avoided because it may
interfere with the results of the Prothrombin
Time (PT) test.
