Operating Steps - Allow device, specimen, buffer, and controls to equilibrate to room temperature (15–30°C) before testing.
- Open foil pouch and use the device promptly (best within one hour).
- Place device on a clean, level surface. Transfer specimen using a pipette or disposable dropper:
- Using a pipette: add 5 µL whole blood to the specimen well, then add 3 drops of buffer (~180 µL) and start timer.
- Using a disposable dropper: draw specimen to the fill line (~5 µL), dispense into specimen well, then add 3 drops of buffer (~180 µL) and start timer.
- Wait for colored line(s) to appear. Read result at 10 minutes. Do not interpret after 20 minutes.
