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 Triage
MeterPro’s memory. A Code Chip module typically needs to be installed only once and
r
emains in the meter memory. A Code Chip module does not need to remain in the meter
while per
forming tests.
There are five types of Code Chip modules which can be distinguished by shape or color.
•
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.
(Color varies by test type.)
• QC Device Code Chip module – included in the black QC Device box (comes with
the T
riage
MeterPro); contains data about how the meter should r
ead its matching
QC Device. (Dark gray
.)
• Supervisor Access Code Chip module – included with each T
riage
MeterPro;
contains code to activate Super
visor functions. (Light gray
.)
