How to Run an Electrochemical Test
1. Insert correct MEMo Chip for the lot of strips in use.
2. Insert MEMo Chip with lot number code facing down.
3. Press either button to turn on the analyzer.
4. Remove a single electrochemical test strip from the test strip vial and
immediately replace the cap (if applicable).
5. Insert the electrochemical test strip into the designated electrochemical test
strip port.
6. APPLY SAMPLE icon appears on the display.
7. Obtain a blood drop following the correct technique.
(If venous blood is used, collect in an EDTA or heparin tube. Invert gently
5-7 times to mix completely. Collect sample with capillary tube or pipet
and touch to end of test strip.)
8. Gently hold finger to the tip of the electrochemical test strip to apply a drop of
blood. Do not place blood on top of the test strip. Do not press the test strip into
the finger.
9. Blood will be drawn into the strip automatically by capillary action.
10. TESTING will appear until the result is displayed.
11. Remove and discard test strip in a biohazardous container.
How to Run an Electrochemical Test with a Reectance Test
1. Insert the MEMo Chip that matches the lot number on both the electrochemical
AND the reflectance test strip vials.
2. Press either button to turn on the analyzer.
3. Remove a single electrochemical test strip from the test strip vial and
immediately replace the cap.
4. Insert the electrochemical test strip into the designated electrochemical test
strip port.
5. Remove a single reflectance test strip from test strip vial and immediately
replace cap.
6. Insert the reflectance test strip into the designated test strip slot.
7. The reflectance icon and electrochemical icon will display together.
8. For the electrochemical test:
a. Obtain a drop of blood using a lancet per the correct technique.
b. Gently hold nger to the tip of the electrochemical test strip to apply a drop
of blood. Do not place blood on top of the test strip. Do not press the test
strip into the nger. (If venous blood is used, collect in an EDTA or heparin
tube. Invert gently 5-7 times to mix completely. Collect sample with
capillary tube or pipet and touch to end of test strip.)
c. Blood will be drawn into the strip automatically by capillary action.
d. Test result will display upon completion of the reectance test results.
