- The analyzer is programmed for a fixed number of tests and will display a test-count limit/expiry message when all included cartridges have been used; consult the package insert for handling and disposal instructions.
- Use only cartridges and sample pouches supplied with the same kit or authorized replacements; follow manufacturer instructions for QC and environmental conditions.
Limitations and regulatory cautions
- Intended for professional use at point of care; not for self-diagnostic use unless using the manufacturer’s self-test variant.
- This listing does not include clinical performance claims beyond the manufacturer statements; refer to the package insert for limitations and required quality control procedures.
