<-cuv out, then .. press „Reset“
• Open the light protection cap.
• Remove cuvette out of the measuring channel.
• Press Reset-key.
cuv in 2
• Pipette 50 µl citrate plasma in a cuvette.
• Immediately place this cuvette into measuring channel.
• Close the light protection cap.
The analyzer automatically recognizes the cuvette and starts the timer for
sample incubation (timer count down). An acoustic signal indicates 5 sec
remaining incubation time.

Once the second measured value has been obtained, the mean from the
measured values will be determined and converted into %, ratio, and INR
via the entered calibration curve.
