Code chip
The code chip provides the meter with impor-
tant information which it needs to perform the
coagulation test. The chip contains informa-
tion about the test method, the lot number
and the expiry date. The meter is ready to use
once the code chip has been inserted.
If you use a new test strip lot and have not
inserted the corresponding code chip yet, you
must do so at latest after inserting the test
strip. Otherwise you cannot perform a test.
The meter displays the number of the code
chip belonging to the new test strip lot.
Once the code chip information has been
read by the meter, it will be stored for future
use. You may remove the code chip then. Up
to 5 code chip data sets can simultaneously
be stored in the meter.
Protect the code chip from moisture and
equipment which produces magnetic elds,
e.g. loudspeakers, induction stove or other
electronic devices.
