SECTION 3: SWEAT INDUCTION AND COLLECTION
3.3 Collecting Sweat
5. Extract Tube
CAUTION:
The following procedure should be performed in its entirety while the
Macroduct Advanced Sweat Collector is still firmly strapped to the limb.
Removing the collector before detaching the tubing may create a
vacuum that will draw the collected sweat from the tubing and
significantly reduce sample volume.
NOTE: There are two tools available for harvesting and storing a sweat
sample, (1) the syringe with the EasyDuct needle (REF: AC-193), or (2) the
Sweat Dispenser (REF: RP-065, which is included but should NOT be used
with the Sweat-Chek Analyzer). A standard 22-gauge blunt needle, such as
those included in SS-045, may be used instead of the EasyDuct needle if
disposability is desired.
If using the Sweat Chek analyzer, only the syringe with the EasyDuct
needle can be used. Either the syringe or the sweat dispenser can be used
to remove sweat sample for storage or analysis by any other method than
the Sweat-Chek analyzer. Do not attempt to use the Sweat Dispenser with
the Sweat-Chek analyzer.
WARNING!
If any sweat from the patient is drawn into the syringe or the dispenser,
or if any sweat contaminates the needle of either tool, they must be
cleaned to prevent contamination of any following samples.
