Inserting the test cartridge
Step 1: Remove a new SoToxa™ Test Cartridge from the foil wrapper.
The test cartridges and SoToxa™ Oral Fluid Collection Device are designed for single use only and must be disposed of after use.
DO NOT re-insert a used test cartridge into the SoToxa™ Mobile Analyzer or re-use the collection device.
Step 2: Check the silica gel pack is yellow. If the silica gel is green, discard the test as the performance of the product may have been compromised. See
section 2.12 Silica gel packs, for more information.
Step 3: Insert the test cartridge into the cartridge slot on the front of the analyzer.

Test cartridge identification and verification of the expiry date
Following insertion of the SoToxa™ Test Cartridge, the SoToxa™ Mobile Analyzer will read the barcode to identify the test cartridge and verify
that it is within its expiry date. The analyzer will also check that the test cartridge type is installed on the analyzer. If the test cartridge has
expired, it must not be used and the testing process must be restarted with a new test cartridge that is within its expiry date.
If the test cartridge is not valid, refer to section 12 Technical Support, Codes and Troubleshooting.
