Visual aid ensures operator safety

The test involves a capillary sample technique at “point of care”, a process now widely used to allow immediate treatment of the patient. The procedure involves a capillary blood sample being drawn from the finger of the patient and transferred by hand pipette into a testing chamber. The process could allow blood to be in contact with the work surfaces or the operator’s clothing.

It was found that Magnifique II not only offers a large viewing lens with good flicker free light for the test, with no stroboscopic effects but also provides for a barrier of protection between the operator and the blood sample reducing the danger of contamination to the health worker.
