snaps flush
English
Tech/Engineering
Medical: Instruments
Pour the contents of the sample tube into the sample well of the SNAP device and discard the tube. The sample will flow across the results window toward the blue activation circle.
• When the blue activation circle begins to disappear, push the activator button FIRMLY until it snaps flush with the body of the SNAP device.
• Wait 4 minutes.
Could somebody explain to me what "snaps flush with the body" in plain English? :-)
Thank you in advance!

: normally the button would stick out and its top would be higher than the surrounding area, when it's pressed to activate, it has to be pushed down until its top is at the same level as the surrounding area of the body, signaled by a slight click!

at the point where it breaks the tube and the button is no longer protuding.
"into the sample well of the SNAP device and discard the tube. The sample will flow across the results window toward the blue activation circle."
The Snap here is a snap tube: this is a plastic tube with a separate glass tube in it.
The glass tube is very thin, and when you push the activator button on the end, until it snaps the tube (breaks the tube) which is at the point where the button is flush with the top or whatever it goes into, (snap Flush) it will cause the glass inner tube to snap (break) allowing the outer liquid and the inner liquid to merge together and than you will see the result of the merge after 4 minutes.

Snap light sticks work the same way. When you bend them you break (snap) the inner tube and the two chemicals mix together and create light. all it is saying here is they use a more controlled method by the pressing of a button until it is flush, at this point it snaps the tube, and the two substances mix together, the results are known after 4 minutes.
