Page: 26 / 94

NOTE
For U.S. customers, the RAMP® 200 must be operated in a laboratory
setting when used with the RAMP® Cardiovascular Tests.
CAUTION
When entering data via the CM touchscreen (e.g.,
Sample/Patient/User ID), enter characters one at a time. Failure to do
so may result in erroneous data entry.
CAUTION
Be familiar with all information in the RAMP® Test Kit Instructions for
Use (IFU), including Warnings & Precautions prior to running a Test.
WARNING
Operator Hazard.
Observe local protocols and appropriate precautions in the collection,
handling, and disposal of specimens.
Prior to performing any Assay, the Lot Card for that RAMP® Test Kit lot must be read by the RAMP® 200
through insertion into the Lot Card slot (
Figure 1 ). The Lot Card provides lot-specific information and the
expiration date for each Test Kit and is only required to be read once for each Test Kit lot. The CM can
store information from 50 different lots. If the maximum is exceeded, the oldest entry is overwritten.
NOTE
The RAMP® 200 can only accept a Test Cartridge that is designed and
specified for use with a RAMP® Test Kit.
CAUTION
Do not touch the contact pads on the Lot Card.
Store the Lot Card in the anti-static pouch that is provided with the
RAMP® Test Kit.
