Conducting the Test

• Once the Chip is inserted, the Meter
will perform the quality controls
mentioned in section 2.6 of these
instructions for use. After
conducting the aforementioned
quality controls prior to the test,
the "control" symbol will light up.
If the first level of quality control is not passed, an error
message will be displayed on the screen of the Meter.
• The Chip begins to flash and heats
up until it reaches the proper
temperature. Once this temperature
is reached:
- The device emits an audible signal (beep).
- The drop symbol begins to flash on
the display.
- A count down appears (80s).
- The Chip emits a steady light.
• Perform the fingerstick (see section 3.3 of these instructions
for use).
• Make sure to obtain a spherical and properly sized drop,
equivalent to a teardrop.
• Apply the drop of blood on the Chip immediately, by contact
with the entry channel, without resting the finger on the Chip.
• The Meter will emit a beep when it detects the sample for
the test and the drop symbol will stop flashing.

COUNTDOWN

10
• After the beep, gently move the finger away and wait until
the INR results are displayed on the screen.
If you apply the sample and no sound is emitted, this means
that there is not enough sample volume. Remove the Chip and
repeat the test with a new Chip. Ensure that the size of the drop
is enough and the entry channel is not blocked when placing it.
Do not reapply sample or try to add more blood to the
channel.
Never perform the fingerstick before the start of the
countdown.
Do not touch the Chip's entry channel with the finger
while applying the sample.
Keep the Meter away from direct sunlight during the test.
Do not shake or drop the Meter. If the Meter is dropped
or gets wet and the frequency of errors messages
increases, contact your distributor.

Test Result and Assay End
