MSR Treatment Card
The MSR Treatment Card is used to assist in protecting Magnetic Stripe Readers from
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), which can cause failures when swiping cards that have
metallic hologram stripes.
Swipe the card through the MSR in a smooth motion. Only swipe it down ONCE and
up ONCE. Allow the device to dry for 5 minutes before swiping any other cards.
Note: Each long side of the card may be used twice. Each short side of the card may be
used only once. Thus, a single card can treat 6 MSR devices with one UP and one
DOWN swipe per MSR device. These limits should not be exceeded due to the
possibility of spreading contaminants from machine to machine and/or reducing ESD
protection.
Note: If all six up/down swipes are not used on a fresh card it should be placed in a
sealed (Ziploc) bag for future use.
