6. Read the test result.
You can now make a note of the result(s). Pressing the OK button
is not absolutely necessary. It merely produces a confirmation of
the result, while the photometer changes to the ready mode
display. Opening the cuvette holder will start a new testing cycle.
The hemoglobin result is displayed with the selected patient type
and may be marked with an (H) High or (L) Low if the result falls
outside the selected patient normal range. An estimated
Hematocrit result will be displayed if the “Hct mode” is activated
(see Section 5.3.8.1 Hematocrit mode). The measured result(s)
is stored and can be recalled later from the memory (data
storage) which can hold up to 4000 patient results (see Section
5.2.1 “Displaying results from memory”).
If you have connected a printer, the current test result will be
printed out immediately. Further information about connecting a
printer can be found in Section 5.6.1 “Connecting a printer”.
If you prefer the display to show the result in another type of unit,
you can change it as described in Section 5.3.4 “Setting the
units”.
7. Open the cuvette holder, take out the used cuvette and
dispose properly (see Section 6.4 “Proper disposal”).
Keep the cuvette holder closed when photometer is not in
use.
When the holder is opened, a new testing cycle is started and the
photometer checks the optical performance of the measuring
system and automatically becomes ready for a new cuvette to be
inserted.
If you do not want to perform another test, simply close the
cuvette holder again. The test cycle will be cancelled.
