2 Mobile Analyser User Guide | 11. Using the SD Card
The Alere DDS2 Mobile Analyser has a microSD card slot. Refer to section 2.1 Alere DDS2 Mobile Analyser at
a glance for the location of the SD card cover panel. The SD card socket can only be accessed by unscrewing
the SD card cover panel. For this a small Phillips head screw driver is needed. This tool is not supplied with the
Alere DDS2 Mobile Test System. Please contact Product Support if access to the SD card is required.
The SD card can be used for applying firmware updates to the analyser, adding new Alere DDS2 Test
Cartridge types or versions to the analyser and exporting of diagnostic data from the analyser to the card.
