Testing a Capillary Blood Sample
CoaguChek INRange User’s Manual

13 Apply the blood directly from the finger by
touching the blood drop against the side of
the semicircular
, transparent sample applica-
tion area of the test strip.
Alternatively, you can apply the blood directly
from the finger to the center of the semicircular,
transparent sample application area of the test
strip. The test strip draws up the blood by capil-
lary action.
During this process you must hold the blood drop
to the test strip until the next screen indicates that
the blood has been applied successfully.
To prevent excess blood from reaching the
meter, apply blood via side-dosing directly from
fingertip.
CAUTION
Apply the blood drop to the test strip within
15 seconds of lancing the fingertip. Applying
blood after this period of time could falsify the
result, as the coagulation process could already
have begun.
