1.Introduction
1.1 Before You Start
Before using qLabs®Vet, read the User's Manual as well as the package
inserts for all relevant consumables carefully.
1.2 Intended Use
The qLabs®Vet system, which consists of qLabs®Vet instrument
and qLabs®Vet Test Strips, intended for quantitative determination of
Prothrombin Time (PT) and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT)
in fresh venous blood and citrated whole blood. The qLabs®Vet system is
only for veterinarian professional use in feline, canine and other animals.
1.3 Test Principle
The qLabs®Vet automatically detects the insertion of a qLabs®test strip
and heats the strip to a preset operating temperature. After a drop of
blood is applied to the strip, the sample channel automatically carries
the blood sample into the reaction zone through capillary action, where
the blood mixes with pre-printed reagent and starts coagulation process.
As the blood coagulates, conductivity across the test strip changes. The
system measures this electrical change and calculates the development of
a clot. The values are then displayed.
1.4 Packaging
The qLabs®Vet is packed individually.
Upon receipt of the device, please open and remove the packaging
materials, then place the qLabs®Vet on a at surface and connect the
power adapter to make it ready for testing.
Do not keep the qLabs®Vet in direct sunlight, near a high heat source, or
near an area with a strong magnetic eld.
If you nd any damage that may be caused by transportation, please
inform your local distributor.
Please pay attention to contents under the symbol “ ”appears in the
manual.

5.Precautions, Limitations and Warnings
The qLabs®Vet is for in vitro diagnostic use only. Some
environmental factors and incorrect operation may cause the
qLabs®Vet cannot work effectively or report accurate results.
Please read the following warnings carefully before use and
strictly follow them.
As with all diagnostic tests, qLabs®Vet’s test results should
be analyzed and interpreted by combining the condition,
medical history, current and possible treatment of a specific
animal. Any results exhibiting inconsistency with the clinical
status should be repeated or supplemented with additional
test data or repeated with other testing methods.
5.1 Care of Your qLabs®Vet
●DO NOT spill any liquid on the qLabs®Vet. In this case, immedi-
ately contact the local distributor of Micropoint.
●The qLabs®Vet is a delicate instrument and should be handled
with care. Dropping or other mishandling may cause malfunction of
qLabs®Vet.
●The qLabs®Vet should be transported in a carrying case or a
secure container.
●DO NOT store the qLabs®Vet below -10 ºC or above 40 ºC.
●DO NOT use the qLabs®Vet for any other types of test strips not
provided by Micropoint.
5.2 Test Environment Requirements
●The temperature should be maintained between 10 ° C and 35 ° C.
●This equipment has been tested and found to comply with ap-
plicable EMC emission requirements as specied in EN 55032.
The emissions of the energy used are low and not likely to cause
interference in nearby electronic equipment.
●Do not use this instrument in a dry environment, especially if syn-
thetic materials are present. Synthetic clothes, carpets,etc., may
damage static discharges in a dry environment. That may cause
incorrect operation or damage to the device. The recommended
humidity operating range is 10% to 90%.
●Do not use this instrument near cellular or cordless telephones,
walkie talkies, garage door openers, radio transmitters, or other
electrical or electronic equipment that are sources of electromag-

netic radiation, as these may interfere with the proper operation of
the instrument.
5.3 Patient health Status
Current patient health status may cause inaccurate or unexpected test
results. It is important to take certain health factors into consideration
when interpreting the test results and deciding on a course of action for
your patients. Failure to do so may lead to an incorrect interpretation of
the test result.
5.4 Performing a Test
●The qLabs®Vet should be placed on a level surface that is free
of vibration. Testing on an uneven or unstable surface may cause
inaccurate results. DO NOT hold the qLabs®Vet in your hands
during the testing.
●Strictly follow the test procedure specied in the manual to perform
the test.
●DO NOT move or touch the qLabs®Vet during testing.
●After inserting the test strip, please conrm the consistency of the
code chip, failure to do may cause inaccurate test result.
●The blood sample must be applied to the test strip immediately
after collection. Otherwise, the blood sample may begin clotting
and causing inaccurate results.
●Do not add the sample until the system prompts you to start add-
ing sample.
●The sample should be added in one continuous operation, do not
reapply additional sample.
●Do not use the device for unintended purposes, failure to do so
may cause unexpected test results.
5.5 Collecting Sample
●Use fresh venous whole blood and citrated whole blood. Do not
use plasma.
●The drop of blood must be a minimum of 10 μL.
5.6 Warning Information on Built-in Lithium Battery
●qLabs meter has a built-in lithium battery, which cannot be
removed by any user.
