covering the entire area.
Note: Use VENOUS MODE only for venous samples that have been
in capped tubes and have not been mixed with air. Use CAPILLARY
or ARTERIAL MODE for all other samples.
How to Obtain an Arterial
Blood Sample:
• Use only fresh whole
blood samples.
• Clear the arterial line
before drawing a blood
sample into a syringe that
contains sodium heparin,
or lithium heparin
or EDTA.
• Use the sample within
30 minutes of collection.
• Mix the syringe several
times immediately before applying the sample to the target area
on the test strip.
• Allow a drop of blood to form at the tip of the syringe.
• Cover the entire target area on the test strip with the blood sample.
The syringe can briefly touch the test strip without affecting the
test result.
