Xprecia Stride User Guide 2. Performing a patient test
Warnings and cautions for running a patient test
Always follow these safety and usage guidelines for the most accurate results:
‒ Don’t take test strips internally or drink control solutions.
‒ Always store the test strips in the original test strip vial with the cap closed.
‒ Use the test strip within 5 minutes of when you remove it from the test strip vial.
‒ Use only fresh capillary (fingerstick) whole blood for tests.
‒ Hematocrit range of 22–52% doesn't significantly affect test results.
‒ Apply the blood sample to the test strip within 120 seconds after the Apply Sample screen displays.
‒ Always wear protective gloves and follow your facility’s policies and procedures when performing tests involving
biological samples and control solutions.
‒ Only apply blood to a test strip after it's inserted in, and blood is requested by, Stride.
‒ Never use bent, scratched, or damaged test strips.
‒ Don’t scan a test strip barcode and then use a different test strip from another vial.
‒ Each test strip is single-use only; never perform a second test using the same test strip.
‒ Don’t touch or move the test strip after you apply the drop of blood. Don't move the test strip during the test.
‒ Never add more blood to the test strip after the test has begun.
‒ Refer to the Xprecia System PT/INR Strips Instructions For Use for more information on test strips.
‒ A best practice is to make sure there is adequate lighting to conduct a test.
‒ Don't conduct tests when connected to Xprecia DMS.
‒ Always thoroughly wash and dry your hands and put on a new pair of gloves for each patient test.
