2.4 System Parts

2.4.1 Thermal Printer

The thermal printer is located at the upper left top of the analyzer. It can print patient sample test

results, quality control test results, calibration results, etc.

2.4.2 Test Cartridge

Next to the thermal printer is the test cartridge port. A test cartridge is inserted into the analyzer

through the test cartridge port. An indicator is located inside the test cartridge port. If the test

cartridge is inserted properly, the indicator will turn green. If not, the indicator will turn red, and

the system will prompt you. If you want to perform an external electronic simulator test, you also

need to insert the simulator into the test cartridge port.

The unit-use test cartridge is intended to be used together with the analyzer. The fluidic chamber

on the test cartridge is used to hold used calibrants and sample fluids. The sensors on the test

cartridge can generate electrical signals that can be measured by the analyzer. The sample fillport

is used to connect the syringe/capillary tube for automatically aspirating samples. Test cartridges

are available in different configurations concerning the type of parameters reported by them. For

details, please refer to the table below.
