6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
Follow these steps to perform a blood lipid test using the URIT PFS-30 Blood Lipid Analyzer.
6.1 Preparing for a Test
- Ensure the analyzer has fresh batteries and the correct code card is inserted for the test strips you are using.
- Aħsel idejk sew bis-sapun u bl-ilma sħun, imbagħad nixxefhom kompletament.
- Prepare the lancing device with a new lancet according to its instructions.
- Have a clean, dry surface ready for the analyzer and supplies.
6.2 Performing the Test
- Insert the Test Strip: With the analyzer powered on and displaying a flashing strip symbol, carefully insert a new test strip into the strip port. The analyzer will beep and display a blood drop symbol when ready.
- Iġbor id-Demm: Use the lancing device to prick the side of your fingertip to obtain a blood sample. Gently squeeze your finger to form a round drop of blood.
- Add the Blood Drop: When the blood drop symbol is flashing on the screen, immediately apply the blood sample to the designated test hole on the test strip. Ensure the blood completely fills the sample area. Do not smear the blood.
- Wait for Results: The analyzer will begin the measurement process. The result will be displayed on the screen within 2 minutes (120 seconds).
- Read the Result: Once the result is displayed, note down the values. The analyzer will show TC, HDL, TG, LDL, and TC/HDL Ratio.
- Armi l-Materjali Użati: Carefully remove the used test strip and dispose of it, along with the lancet, in a suitable biohazard container according to local regulations.
Nota: For optimal accuracy, ensure the sample volume is between 35-40 µL. Capillary or venous whole blood can be used as a sample tip.
