Sample Delivery Volume
Follow these guidelines to make sure you add the correct sample volume to the reagent rotor.
When a sufficient quantity of sample is added, it will

form a line between the arrows on the rotor surface.
If an air bubble is introduced, add enough sample to

fill the overflow area by 1/3 to 1/2, as shown at right.
Make sure any excess sample does not travel beyond

the overflow area.
CAUTION: Do not try to remove the sample and reintroduce
it to the rotor.
Note: After the sample is added to the rotor, make sure there is no excess blood on the top of the
rotor. Gently wipe off the excess, being careful not to draw any sample from the sample
port. Excess sample can spin off the rotor and into the rotor chamber, and can degrade
performance.

Running Tests

This section includes detailed, step-by-step instructions for performing analyses using the VS2.
Note: The VS2 includes a number of optional data functions that can be used to enter more
detailed information about samples.
In this manual, the screens for these functions are marked with this icon:
However, the screens for these functions will appear on the analyzer only if the functions
are enabled. If the screen shown in the manual does not appear on the analyzer screen,
skip that step.
