DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Allow the test cassette, specimen, buffer, and/or controls to equilibrate to room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.

1. Remove the test cassette from the sealed foil pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed within one hour.

2. Place the test device on a clean and level surface. For Serum or Plasma Specimens: Hold the dropper vertically, transfer 2~3 drops of serum or plasma (approxi. 60 - 90 μl) to the sample well (S) of test cassette and then start the timer. See illustration below.

For Venipuncture Whole Blood Specimens: Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 2 drops of venipuncture whole blood (approximately 50μL) to the specimen well (S) of the test device, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40 μL) and start the timer. See illustration below.

For Fingerstick Whole Blood Specimens: Allow 2 hanging drops of fingerstick whole blood (approximately 50 μ L) to fall into the center of the specimen well (S) on the test device, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40 μL) and start the timer. See illustration below.

3. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. The result should be read in 15 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 15 minutes.
