6. Touch the drop of blood against the bottom of the sample well.
Once in contact with the sample well, the blood will be drawn into
the cartridge.
7. Apply sample until it reaches the fill mark indicated on the cartridge.
8. Fold the sample closure over the sample well.
9. Press the rounded end of the closure until it snaps into place. Slightly
lift finger or thumb and ensure that the cartridge is closed before
completely removing finger or thumb from the closure.
FILLING AND CLOSING AN IMMUNOASSAY CARTRIDGE USING A TRANSFER DEVICE
Note: To further simplify the sample application into the test cartridge, it is
possible to bring the cartridge to the finger for easier application. Do ensure
that the instrument remains on a flat vibration-free surface for testing.
1. Following thorough mixing of the sample, direct the transfer device
(either syringe tip or pipette tip) into the inlet port. Apply a single
drop of sample to the inlet port. If the cartridge fill is incomplete as
seen via the fill indicator on the cartridge label, apply a second small
drop until the sample reaches the fill mark.
2. To close the immunoassay cartridge:
a. first anchor the cartridge in place by using the thumb and index
finger of one hand to grasp the cTnI cartridge from its side edges
away from the sample inlet.
b. use the thumb of the other hand to slide the plastic closure clip to
the right until it locks into place over the sample well. Note: When
sliding the closure clip, the index finger of that same hand should not be
placed directly across from the thumb, as this could result in the sample
being pushed onto the user’s glove. This index finger should be placed
just above the position of the sliding clip during closure or not used at
all.
