Accurex MLA-1 Lipid Analyzer Test Strip

Accurex MLA-1 Lipid Analyzer Test Strip use a timed-endpoint method to measure the Total Cholesterol (TC), High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL) and Triglycerides (TG) concentrations in whole blood, serum or plasma. TC, TG and HDL values calculate the concentration of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL). The system monitors the change in absorbance at 620 nm at a fixed-time interval. The difference in absorbance is directly proportional to the lipid concentration in the specimen.Uses For analyzing the lipid levels in the body.Product Features and Specifications:The Blood Lipid Test Strip works with the blood lipid analysis meter or dry biochemical analysis meter to measure the lipid concentration in whole blood, plasma and serumThe 3-1 lipid panel is used to measure the concentrations of Total Cholesterol (TC), High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL), Triglycerides (TG) and Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL) levels in the bloodLipid measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease and the diagnosis of metabolic disorders involving lipids and lipoproteinsStorage and Handling:Store test strip package in a cool, dry place at room temperature 68-86°F(20-30°C) or refrigerated at 35-46°F (2-8°C)Test strips must be brought to room temperature 68-86°F (20-30°C) before using. Do not freezeKeep away from heat and direct sunlightIf a desiccant packet is included in the vial, do not remove or discard it.Always replace vial cap immediately after removing a test stripUse test strip as soon as you have removed it from the vialKeep the MEMo Chip in the original box that held the test stripsStore the test strips in the original vialDo not combine with other test strips and do not store the MEMo Chip in the test strip vialDirections For Use:Allow the test strip, specimen, and controls to reach operating temperature (10-35?) before testingInsert the code chip into the meter and code the meter correctlyCompare the code number on the code chip with the code number printed on the test strip canister or foil pouch, and ensure the two numbers are identical to avoid inaccurate resultsCheck that the specimen type is the same as the specimen type tested. If not, set the correct specimen typeRemove the test strip from the test strip canister or foil pouchWait for the meter to display the insert stripInsert the test strip completely into the test strip channel in the same direction as the arrows printed on the test stripPrepare the specimen to be tested. For venous whole blood/ plasma/ serum specimens: mix the specimen for about 15 minutesFor capillary blood specimen: wipe away the first drop of bloodCollect 35?L of the second or third drop of capillary blood specimen using a capillary transfer tube or pipetteHold the tube slightly downward and touch the tip of the capillary transfer tube to the blood dropDraw the specimen and stop drawing when the specimen comes to the fill lineWhile the meter is flashing the blood drop symbol, apply 35?L specimen to the specimen application area of the test strip using a pipette or capillary transfer tubeAlign the tip of the pipette or capillary transfer tube with the specimen application area to apply the blood4 dashed lines will appear on the meter to show the test is in progressRead the results on the screen in 2 minutesTest Results:Results are displayed in either milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or in millimoles per liter (mmol/L). The analyzer is preset to mg/dL, which is the appropriate unit in the United States and many other countries. Other countries use mmol/L. Select the units that are correct for your country. For instructions on how to change the units, please see theanalyzer user guide. No calculation of results is necessary.Storage and Safety Information:For in vitro diagnostic use onlyThe test strips should remain in the original package until useDo not use it after the expiration dateDo not touch the reagent area of the test stripsDiscard any discoloured or damaged test stripsAll specimens should be considered potentially hazardous and handled in the same manner as an infectious agentThe used test strips should be discarded according to local regulations after testingCheck the code chip before performing a test. Make sure to use the code chip included with the test strips package. Insert the code chip into the code chip slotThe code chip slot is located on the left side of the meterCheck that the specimen type is the same as the specimen type tested
