Testing a Capillary Blood Sample
CoaguChek INRange User’s Manual
13 Apply the blood directly from the nger to
the semicircular, transparent sample ap-
plication area of the test strip.
Alternatively, you can touch the blood drop
against the side of the sample application
area (instead of applying it to the center from
above). The test strip draws up the blood by
capillary action.
During this process you must hold the blood
drop to the test strip until the next screen
indicates that the blood has been applied
successfully.
Apply the blood drop to the test strip within
15 seconds of lancing the ngertip. Applying
blood after this period of time would falsify
the result, as the coagulation process would
already have begun.
