9.1 Registration Code
The system uses the registration code to precisely control the analysis process.
The following strip-related information is incorporated in the registration code:
•
the expiry date of the current LOT of test strips
•
calibration information for the current test strip LOT
ǽ
The strip manufacturer may or may not enable sensitivity adjustments for the
individual test strip pads.
•
the number of test strip measurements still available with the currently regis-
tered LOT.
Calibration is required for every test strip vial that you open to obtain cor-
rect results.
When you open a new shipment or vial of test strips, find the registration/calibra-
tion card in the package. The unique registration code is attached to the registra-
tion card and it is valid for one (1), ten (10), or twenty (20) vials.
To enter the numeric registration code on the card tap the New Registration
Code button. You can enter the 15-digit code manually via the touchscreen, via
an external keyboard connected to the device, or automatically, using a barcode
reader. After a successful registration the available tests counter is reset to the
number defined by the new registration code.
ǽ
If there are available test strip measurements remaining from the previous
registration code when you enter a new one, these will not be lost. You can
resume using a registration code that you entered previously by re-entering it.

Tap the

button on the
Options
screen to set the LOT information and

theses ‘(‘ ‘)’.
The LOT code and the expiry date data are stored with every measurement.
