The CardioChek
Test System
The CardioChek test system consists of three main parts. These include the analyzer,
PTS Panels self-test strips, and a MEMo Chip.
When a blood sample is applied to the test strip, a chemical reaction occurs producing a
color change. The analyzer measures the color reaction and compares the information to
the calibration curve stored in the MEMo Chip. The analyzer converts this color reading
into a test result that is displayed on the screen.
