Code Chip The code chip provides the analyzer with important information on the STANDARD G6PD test device to measure the results accurately. The code chip should be changed each time a new kit box is opened (every 25 tests). The number on the code chip should be matched the number printed on the foil pouch and displayed on the analyzer screen. The code chip number corresponds to the test device lot number. 6
Code Chip 1. Check the expiry date printed on the foil pouch. 2. Check the code number printed on the foil pouch. 3. Make sure the code number printed on the pouch and the code chip match. 4. Make sure the analyzer is turned off. Remove old code chip if one is installed. 5. Insert a new code chip until it snaps into place. 7
