1. Wash your hands thoroughly.
2. Prepare the test device and the pipette. Take them out from the protective pouch (tear at the notch).
3. Prepare the lancet. Hold the lancet without touching the trigger button. Unlock the lancet cap twisting it off ¼ turn until you feel it separates from the lancet and then continue twisting it (2-3 rotations). Don’t pull just twist and discard the cap when finished.
4. Clean the end of the middle finger or ring finger with cotton damped with alcohol.
5. Rub the chosen finger towards the tip for 10 to 15 seconds to enhance the blood flow.
Press the platform firmly against the lateral side of the previously cleaned finger and press the release trigger button.
6. The tip will automatically retract into the body of the device. Rub the finger’s end to obtain enough whole blood sample.
7. Without pressing the bulb, put in contact the plastic pipette with the blood sample. The blood migrates into the pipette through capillarity to the line indicated on the pipette.
8. Put the blood collected with the pipette into the sample well of the device, by pressing on the pipette bulb.
9. Wait 30-40 sec for the blood to be totally absorbed into the sample well. Unscrew the blue cap of the diluent dropper bottle (leave the white cap tightly screwed) and add the diluent as follows:
10. Hold the diluent dropper bottle vertically and slowly add exactly 4 drops in the sample well of the device with an interval of 2-3 seconds between each drop.
11. Read the result after 10 minutes. Do not interpret after 15 minutes.
