Collecting A Finger Stick Blood Sample; Electromagnetic Compatibility - MICROPOINT qLabs ElectroMeter Plus User Manual

• Plasma samples or whole blood samples with anticoagulation
reagents are not suitable for the qLabs
• DO NOT move or touch the qLabs

6.4 Collecting a Finger Stick Blood Sample

• Sanitize the site of the finger stick with alcohol wipe before testing.
• Use fresh capillary finger stick blood sample for testing.
• Squeezing the finger stick site excessively (milking) may release
interstitial fluid into the blood sample, which may lead to inaccurate
results.
• The site of the finger stick must be completely dry. If any alcohol
remains on the finger, it may cause hemolysis, which may lead to
inaccurate results.

6.5 Electromagnetic Compatibility

• This equipment has been tested and found to comply with applicable
EMC emission requirements as specified in EN 61326-1: 2006 and
EN 61326-2-6: 2006, immunity to electrostatic discharge as specified
in IEC 61000-4-2, and immunity to radio-frequency interference
at the frequency range and test levels specified in IEC 61000-4-3.
The emissions of the energy used are low and not likely to cause
interference in nearby electronic equipment.
• Do not use this instrument in a dry environment, especially if
synthetic materials are present. Synthetic clothes, carpets, etc., may
cause damaging static discharges in a dry environment. That may
cause incorrect operation or damage to the device.
• Do not use this instrument near cellular or cordless telephones,
walkie talkies, garage door openers, radio transmitters, or other
electrical or electronic equipment that are sources of electromagnetic
radiation, as these may interfere with the proper operation of the
instrument.
