Collect the appropriate sample type.
a. Refer to the product Package Insert for
appropriate sample type and handling.
b. Use only EDTA as the anti-coagulant for blood
samples.
i. Frozen plasma and refrigerated whole blood
and plasma must be allowed to reach room
temperature and mixed thoroughly before testing.
c. Freshly voided urine samples should be collected in a clean
container.
2.
Individual unopened Test Devices should be removed from
refrigerated (2°-8°C) storage and allowed to reach room temperature
(20°-24°C) a minimum of 15 minutes prior to testing. If a kit
containing multiple Test Devices is removed from refrigeration,
allow the kit to reach room temperature before use. This will take a
minimum of 60 minutes.
3.
Do not remove the Test Device from the pouch until prepared for
immediate use.
4.
Writing only in the white area of the label, write the Sample ID.
of the blank area as this may interfere with the test.
Sample Addition:
1.
Using the transfer pipette, squeeze the larger
(top) bulb completely and insert the tip into the
specimen.
2.
Release the bulb slowly. The transfer pipette
NOTE: Ensure that the pipette is not under
some sample in the top bulb. Ideally the lower bulb should contain
a small amount of sample (less than one quarter the volume of the
lower bulb).
3.
Place the tip of the pipette into the sample port of the Test Device
specimen in the smaller (lower) bulb should not be expelled.
NOTE: Too much sample has been added to the device if the sample
has migrated outside of the sample port and on to the label.
4.
Remove the transfer pipette tip from the sample port and then
release the larger (top) bulb.
5.
Discard the transfer pipette.
6.
Allow specimen to absorb completely before moving the Test Device.
At the minimum the sample should be below the sample port
opening to be considered fully absorbed.
