How to Use PTS Panels Multi-Chemistry Controls

1. With the MEMo Chip out, press any button to turn CardioChek Plus device on.
2. When INSERT MEMO CHIP appears on the screen, press NEXT until display reads
UTILITY.
3. Press the ENTER button once, then the NEXT button once to see RUN CONTROL, then
press ENTER.
4. INSERT MEMO CHIP appears on the screen. Insert the MEMo Chip for the matching lot
of Smart Bundle Lipid Panel test strips to be checked and press ENTER.
5.
Run Control appears on the screen. Press ENTER. Perform a 3-point check to verify the
lot number on the MEMo Chip, the vial of test strips, and the screen display match.
6. Insert the test strips into the analyzer in either order. Immediately replace the vial
caps, making sure the test strip vials are capped tightly. The CardioChek Plus
analyzer will display APPLY SAMPLE with a blood drop icon over the eGLU test strip.
This indicates the system is ready for a sample (control) to be applied to the eGLU
test strip first.
7. Mix the control material well by gentle inversion at least 3 times.
8. Remove the Multi-Chemistry Controls vial cap and turn the bottle upside down,
directing a small drop directly at the tip of the eGLU test strip (not on top). When the
sample has adequately wicked into the eGLU test strip channel, the blood drop icon on
the display will change to a beating heart and the blood drop icon will now appear over
the Lipid Panel test strip.
9. Carefully squeeze the vial to deliver one large hanging drop of control solution to the
Lipid Panel test strip and allow it to fall onto the center of the blood application window.
10. Replace the Multi-Chemistry Controls vial cap.
11. Results for both the Lipid Panel analytes and the eGLU testing will be displayed in about
two (2) minutes.
