into the reader until the cartridge stops and actuates the internal switch.
12.7
After the strip is read, the results are displayed with the captured images of the control line and the
test line. The user may then select

To read additional strips, remove the cartridge from the reader, remove the previous test strip, and
replace with the new test strip to be read. A sample ID for the new strip to be read can be entered
by selecting
New Sample ID
, entering the appropriate sample ID, then pressing
OK
. The test
strip can then be read (step 12.6 above).
Note: If using only time and date information for sample identification (no sample ID), test strips
can be read in immediate succession (no additional commands necessary).
Please see section 13, Sample ID, below for additional information regarding the use of sample
IDs.
13.
Sample ID
A unique sample ID can be entered for each test strip to allow the user to name and track specific tests. To use a
unique sample ID for each sample,
New Sample ID
must be selected and a new sample ID must be entered before
each sample result is read. If running a series of tests which can be grouped sequentially under a single sample ID,
for example, if running a series of test strips on “Smith Lake,” the tests can be linked together under a common
Sample ID by entering the single sample ID (“Smith Lake”), then reading the strips sequentially (i.e. without
selecting
New Sample ID
). Each subsequent test will then be assigned a sequential number value along with the
group sample ID (Smith Lake, Smith Lake-1, Smith Lake-2, etc.), allowing for the differentiation of samples within
a group without having to re-enter the group ID (Smith Lake) for each sample.
