Step-by-Step Procedure to Run PTS Panels Lipid Panel Tests

PTS Panels® Lipid Panel and eGLU™ test strips are designed for use with fresh capillary
(fingerstick) whole blood for eGLU and Lipid Panel test strips, or venous whole blood collected in
EDTA or lithium heparin tubes for the Lipid Panel strips only (See Section III).
Caution: Handle and dispose of all materials coming in contact with blood according to
universal precautions and guidelines.
1. Insert correct MEMo Chip for the lot of test strips in use with finger notch (top) side up, lot
number code facing down.
2. Turn the CardioChek Plus analyzer on by pressing either button.
3. A short series of auto-checks will appear and a lot number will appear on the screen. For all
Smart Bundle Lipid Panel and eGLU test strips, this lot number will begin with
3-point check to ensure the lot number displayed on the screen matches the lot number of
the vial of strips and the MEMo Chip inserted into the analyzer.
4. When INSERT STRIP is displayed, i nsert the test strips into the analyzer in either order.
Immediately replace the vial caps, making sure the test strip vials are capped tightly. The
CardioChek Plus analyzer will display APPLY SAMPLE with a blood drop icon over the
eGLU test strip. This indicates the system is ready for a sample (control) to be applied to
the eGLU test strip first.
5. Obtain a fingerstick blood sample (Section III).
6. Immediately dose the tip of the eGLU test strip with the first drop of blood until the channel
is filled and the screen shows a beating heart icon over the glucose strip.
7. Wipe away the residual drop of blood with gauze and use the second blood drop to begin
the capillary tube collection of 40µL of blood to dose the reflectance Lipid Panel test strip.
