Performing a Test
132
The pipette icon indicates that the meter is
ready to perform the test and is waiting for
blood to be applied.
Simultaneously, a 5-minute countdown
begins. You must apply the sample within this
time. Otherwise you will receive an error
message (after the sample detection has
timed out). The test strip is now unusable,
repeat the test with a new test strip.
In case of errors, see “Troubleshooting” on
page 179.
4 Using the Roche CARDIAC pipette, draw
exactly 150 L (to the blue mark on the
pipette) heparinized blood from the blood
collection tube.
WARNING
Potential risk of incorrect patient results
In order to avoid inaccurate test results, make sure the blood sample is
homogenized (by gently swirling the blood collection tube several times)
and ensure the blood sample contains no air bubbles when it is in the
pipette.
Inaccurate test results may lead to inappropriate therapeutic decisions.
