2.3 Using Lot Cards
Each Kit includes a Lot Card that is individually packaged in an anti-static pouch. The Lot Card
provides information, including lot-specific data and the expiration (Use-by) date of each Kit. Use the
Lot Card to input the specific lot information into the Reader before using the Cartridges. This step is
only required once prior to the use of a new lot.
