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QuidelTriageMeterPro’smemory.ACODECHIPmodule
typicallyneedstobe
installedonlyonceandremainsinthemetermemory.ACODECHIPmoduledoesnot
needtoremaininthemeterwhileperf ormingtests.

TherearefivetypesofCODECHIPmoduleswhichcanbedistinguishedbyshapeorcolor.
