Test cartridge identification and verification of the expiry date

Following insertion of the SoToxa™ Test Cartridge, the SoToxa™ Mobile Analyser will read the barcode to identify the test cartridge and verify
that it is within its expiry date. The analyser will also check that the test cartridge type is installed on the analyser. If the test cartridge has expired,
it must not be used and the testing process must be restarted with a new test cartridge that is within its expiry date.
If the test cartridge is not valid, refer to section 11 Technical Support, Codes and Troubleshooting.
