Location
The Quidel Triage MeterPro should be placed on a dry, clean, flat, horizontal surface away from direct
sunlight.
Power
The Quidel Triage MeterPro requires 6 Ͳ volts DC supplied by either AC or DC. The meter will run
approximately 100 tests on batteries. It is recommended to use batteries as a backup in the event of a
power outage.
CAUTION:
Use only the power supply provided with the meter, failure to do so may cause permanent damage to
the meter.
Self Ͳ Test
The Quidel Triage MeterPro checks the system to be sure it is operating properly by running self Ͳ tests when
powered on and prior to each test.
„
Power On – includes laser operation, internal standard range, battery power, and software verification.
„
Each Test – verifies the laser operation, internal standard range and battery power.
CODE CHIP Modules
Meter data is updated via a disposable CODE CHIP module. The CODE CHIP module contains microchip
circuitry embedded into a plastic housing. When inserted into the meter CODE CHIP module port and
activated, the information is transferred into the Quidel Triage MeterPro’s memory. A CODE CHIP module
typically needs to be installed only once and remains in the meter memory. A CODE CHIP module does not
need to remain in the meter while performing tests.
There are five types of CODE CHIP modules which can be distinguished by shape or color.
Standard CODE CHIP module
„
Reagent Test CODE CHIP module – included in each box of test devices; contains calibration, expiration date
and other data about the device lot. (Color varies by test type.)
„
QC Sample CODE CHIP module – included in each box of QC Sample; contains expiration date and other
data about the QC Sample lot including acceptable range. (White.)
„
QC Device CODE CHIP module – included in the black QC Device box (comes with the Quidel Triage
MeterPro); contains data about how the meter should read its matching QC Device. (Dark gray.)
„
Supervisor Access CODE CHIP module – included with each Quidel Triage MeterPro; contains code to
activate Supervisor functions. (Light gray.)
NOTE:
The Quidel Triage MeterPro will automatically turn off if left unused for 2 hours, unless
programmed otherwise by the supervisor. Optional settings allow automated turnoff after 30 minutes,
1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours or NONE.
