2
insulated pouch heating pad connecting 2way adaptors fixing solution aspirin test clopidogrel test baseline test Instruction leaflet Citrate blood collection tube Three platelet stimulant tubes
3
Activate the heating pad by clicking on the circular valve inside Warming the tubes
4
When activated the gel turns white and warms up immediately Warming the tubes
5
Place the heated pad inside one pocket of the insulation pouch Warming the tubes
6
Place the three stimulant tubes in the other pocket of the insulation pouch Warming the tubes
7
The stimulant tubes are now ready to use Warming the tubes
8
Venepuncture Select the green topped citrate monovette Blood should preferably be collected using one of the following venepuncture procedures Butterfly BD Vacutainer Sarstedt Multifly set
9
Butterfly you will also need the Sarstedt multi-adaptor valve Venepuncture
10
BD Vacutainer Safety-Lok you also need the Sarstedt multi-adaptor valve Venepuncture
11
the Sarstedt multi-adaptor valve Venepuncture
12
Sarstedt MultifySet already supplied with the adaptor for the monovette tube Venepuncture
13

Filled citrate anticoagulant tube
16
Place the blood in the insulation pouch with the stimulant tubes until ready to perform the test
17
Mix the blood and attach one of the 2way adaptors Platelet stimulation
18
Attach each stimulant tube and add blood in turn Fill three stimulant tubes Platelet stimulation
19
To fill, pull back plunger until top of the plunger aligns with bottom arrow Blood should flow up to 4.5 ml mark Platelet stimulation
20
