Note:
• If air bubbles or calibration gel are present in the sample path after the
initial sample injection, remove them by injecting additional sample from
the same syringe, or by lightly tapping the top of the syringe plunger and
then injecting additional sample from the same syringe.
• If air bubbles or calibration gel cannot be removed from the sample path,
press cancel to stop the test, discard the cartridge, and begin again with a
new cartridge. Proper injection technique will prevent air bubbles or calibration
gel from being present in the sample path after initial sample injection.

path, then immediately press test to continue sample analysis.
