5.5 PREPARATIONS BEFORE ANALYSIS
The human blood venous sample must be collected in an EDTA K2 or K3 (Ethylene Diamine Tetracetic Acid,
two or tri potassic) tube in sufficient quantity.K3 is recommended. Time between blood collection and
measurement on the Mythic should not exceed 4 hours for optimal results. If the blood was cooled, please
remove it from cooler and keep it at room temperature minimum 20 minutes in vertical position.
It must be correctly homogenized before analysis. It is recommended to use a rotary agitator turning
between 20 to 30 turns/ minutes during 10 minutes.
The results and the flags could be affected in case of too much sampling (more than 10 times) of same
patient blood.
A volume of insufficient blood for the quantity of anticoagulant or a bad mixing may involve
an erroneous result.
If the room temperature moves more than 10°C during the working day, the MYTHIC 22
must be re calibrate.
