    7.1. Capillary Sampling With gloved hands, take a DiaSpect Tm Cuvette out of the foil bag and close the bag. Make sure the hand is warm and relaxed. Use the middle or ring finger for sampling. Avoid fingers with rings on.
  • Page 13 DiaSpect Tm User Manual Repeat Testing Be careful to apply the procedure described in step 1-6 correctly when collecting capillary blood for hemoglobin measurements. The most common causes for erroneous results are choice of an unsuitable size or type of lancet, incorrect capillary sampling technique, restricted capillary blood flow, or the presence of tissue fluid in the sample after pressing the fingertip too hard.

  • Page 14: Venous Sampling

    If the blood is refrigerated, then the blood should be allowed to reach room temperature before testing. K2-EDTA or lithium heparin tubes may be used. With gloved hands, take a DiaSpect Tm Cuvette out of the foil bag and close the bag.

  • Page 15: Control Sampling

    If stored refrigerated, allow the control solution to reach room temperature first. With gloved hands, take a DiaSpect Tm Cuvette out of the foil bag and close the bag. Mix the control solution by gentle inversion 5 times immediately before sampling.

  • Page 20 The discordance observed was investigated by comparison to a laboratory reference method. In a separate study, 100 capillary and 100 venous samples were tested with the DiaSpect Tm, the HemoCue Hb 301 and the Sysmex XP-300. The DiaSpect Tm was found to be substantially equivalent to the Sysmex XP-300 (calibrated to the hemiglobincyanide method, HiCN), while the HemoCue Hb 301 consistently provided results that were higher by approximately 0.6 g/dL.
