Guidelines for using the MEMo Chip
• The MEMo Chip must be inserted to run a test.
• Use only the MEMo Chip that is included with
each package of test strips. The lot number code
on the test strip vial(s), MEMo Chip, and
analyzer display must match.
• If the expiration date in the MEMo Chip has passed,
the analyzer will display EXPIRED LOT.
• If your MEMo Chip is lost or misplaced, please call
PTS Diagnostics Customer Service for a replacement or use
another MEMo Chip from another vial of the same lot number.
The MEMo Chip port is located at the top center of the analyzer. The MEMo Chip is
inserted into this port with the lot number facing down. Push rmly, but gently, until
the MEMo Chip is fully inserted.
Important: Be careful not to bend the connector.
