10. Apply Quality Control Solution
The Instrument display will prompt to apply
the Quality Control sample.
The Instrument display will show a warning
dialogue to remind the user to only apply
one drop and the sample detection of the
Quality Control Solution may take up to 15
seconds.
Apply the Quality Control sample directly to
the circular Sample Application Area on top
of the Test Strip. The solution must cover the
entire application area. Refer to LumiraDx
Quality Control Product Inserts for additional
information on testing with LumiraDx Quality
Controls.
Note: Pay attention to the countdown for
sample application to avoid errors. If the
Quality Control Solution is not applied by the
end of the countdown the Instrument will
display an error message.
When the Quality Control sample is detected
the Instrument will sound and a confirmation
message will be displayed.
Do NOT apply more than one drop of
Quality Control sample.
Do NOT touch the Test Strip until
the test has finished and the result is
displayed.
Once the sample is applied it may
take up to 15 seconds before the
sample is detected.
