LeadCare

II User's Guide 1-14
CAUTION:
• Do NOT leave the treatment reagent vial uncapped other
than to add the sample or remove the sample/reagent
solution. The tube and its contents could become
contaminated causing inaccurate test results.
• Before placing the sample on the sensor, make sure the
display calls for sample addition.
• Keep the sensors in their container until you need them. Do
NOT touch “X” on the sensors, except when applying the
sample. This could cause contamination and an inaccurate
test result.
Precautions When Performing Quality Control Testing
CAUTION: When testing controls, make sure that the value falls
within the acceptable range for each control. Do NOT proceed
to patient samples if the control results are NOT within
acceptable limits. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of the
User's Guide, or call Product Support at 1-800-275-0102 to help
you resolve any problem.
Using the Control Materials
CAUTION: Treat control material as you would patient samples;
add the control to treatment reagent prior to testing. Store the
controls at room temperature with all other kit components.
Discard unused control material when the kit is finished. Using
control material with the wrong kit lot number could yield
inaccurate results. Refer to Quality Control chapter for more
information about the control test procedures.
