How to use Reading Scale for HCT:
::
:
When Rotor No. F-2415 is used for the Hematocrit test of HCT value,
the following direction is the way to read the scale:
1、 Remove the capillary tubes from the rotor head carefully;
Warning: Do not let the blood drain out of the tubes.
2、 Place the capillary tubes onto grooves (#1) of tubes holder
carefully; let the extreme end (red blood cells) of capillary tubes
reach the straight line (#3) on right hand of the platform;
3、 Move the tubes holder (#2) to the position where the extreme
end of Leucocyte (#9) meets the diagonal line (#4) on platform;
4、 Move the sliding bar (#5) to meet the demarcation (#7) place
where separates the Leucocyte and red blood cells;
5、 The percentage of HCT is then read directly from the scale (#8)
at upper hand of the reading scale.
NOTE:
::
:
- Use clay to block the end of capillary tube which has mark on it;
- Refer laboratory method of reading scale to licensed medical
personnel.
