Code chip
The code chip provides the meter with
important information which it needs to
perform the coagulation test. The chip
contains information about the test method,
the lot number and the expiry date. The meter
is ready to use once the code chip has been
inserted.
If you use a new test strip lot and have not
inserted the corresponding code chip yet, you
must do so at latest after inserting the test
strip. Otherwise you cannot perform a test.
The meter displays the number of the code
chip belonging to the new test strip lot.
Once the code chip information has been
read by the meter, it will be stored for future
use. You may remove the code chip at this
point. Up to 5 code chip data sets can be
stored in the meter simultaneously.
Protect the code chip from moisture and
equipment which produces magnetic fields,
e.g. loudspeakers, induction stoves or other
electronic devices.
