epoc® Blood Analysis System with NXS Host Performing a Capillary Blood Test Video

This video will introduce you to the steps on how to perform a capillary blood test on the Epoch with NXS Host blood Analysis system. To perform a capillary blood test, you will need the following supplies, the Epoch NXS Host, the Epoch Reader, a new Epoch test card, and an Epoch Care Fill capillary tube. Please wear the proper personal protective equipment when handling any patient blood specimens. To start, press the power switch to turn on the Epoch reader. The power LED will turn green, indicating the Epoch reader is on and ready for use. Next, turn on the host by pressing the power button located on the upper right side of the host. Sign in to the Epoch host using your sign in user ID and password or by scanning your user ID bar code. When the host connects to a selected reader, the test status indicator will turn solid green. This means the reader is ready for use. Next, the host will display a test screen. The screen will then show Insert new test card. Select a test card and remove it from the pouch. Be sure to not touch the sensor modules contact surface or the blood sample entry port. Hold the test card facing the sample port upwards. Insert the test card into the card slot of the reader by firmly pushing it in using a smooth single motion. This will enable the bar code on the card label to be read correctly by the epoch reader. Be sure to lock the card into place. Once the card is locked into place, the reader will beep once. The host screen will then display the card lot number and the test status indicator light will start flashing green. Next, the host screen will show that the system is calibrating. Do not inject the sample into the card until calibration is complete. The calibration process takes approximately 165 seconds to complete. Once calibration is complete, the system will beep twice. The host will display an inject sample message and countdown timer on the screen. Do not remove, reposition, or depress the plunger. Also, do not remove the adapter. Always hold the tube at the blue band and do not hold or handle by the plunger. Perform a capillary puncture procedure according to facility policy. Once the capillary tube is filled completely, hold the capillary tube by the blue band and point the tip of the capillary tube upward so that it is vertical. Slide the adapter towards the end of the capillary tube and insert the capillary tube tip into the adapter. Holding the capillary tube by the adapter, insert the adapter into the test card sample port. Rotate the adapter 1/4 turn to ensure a proper seal has been made between the test card and the adapter. Maintain hold of the adapter and using the fingers of your other hand, push the plunger down completely using a single smooth motion. Keep the plunger pushed down until you hear the reader beep. If the sample is injected into the card too soon or too late, an error message will appear and the system will abort the test. Once you hear the reader beep, disengage the capillary tube from the test card by tilting as opposed to pulling it straight up in order to prevent a suck back effect from happening to the sample. The epoch system will then display analyzing sample on the host screen. Once the analysis is complete, test results will display on the epoch host screen. While the sample is being analyzed, enter the patient ID into the host. Once the information has been entered into the host, a check mark will be visible on the blue circle and the patient ID is shown in the action bar. Patient ID can also be viewed in the Edit Test Details section of the software. Answer yes or no to the Hemodilution question. Next, choose Select Test in the software. Select the test panel from the list. Select the proper buttons to customize the test options. Other patient information, such as patient age, gender, and height can be entered into the Edit Test Detail section. If temperature correction is needed, that information can be entered into this area as well. Once complete, select close in the software. The test card can be removed once the test results are displayed on the host screen. When all testing with the Epoch reader is complete and all data entries are made, the test is closed by tapping on the close and Transmit button. Select the Report Results button to document who the test results have been reported to. Select the Reject Test button to reject the results. Select Sign Out icon to sign out from Epoch host. Note that closing the test permanently saves the test and changes to that test are no longer possible. This completes the Performing a Capillary Blood Test video for the Epoch Blood Analysis system with NXS host.
