In addition to being installed from Codechip menu, a Codechip can also
be installed during the test. When testing with a test strip or control with a
Codechip installed, the installation operation is no longer required during
the test; otherwise, the system enter the prompt menu which enables the
user to install the desired Codechip accordingly.
The Codechip provides the meter with important information that it needs
to perform the coagulation test. The chip contains information about the
test strip code, the lot number, and the expiration date. The Codechip is
required, whenever a new test strip lot is used, so that the meter can read
and store the lot information about that particular lot of test strips.
●
Do not forget to use the test strip Codechip that is supplied with
each pack of test strips before you perform the first test with these
strips. We recommend that you leave the Codechip in the meter to
protect the electrical contacts in the meter from becoming dirty.
●
Each Codechip belongs to a particular lot of test strips. Only re-
move the Codechip when you are testing with test strips taken
from a new pack.
●
Protect the Codechip from moisture and equipment that produces
magnetic fields.Reference Range
