Precision PCx Test Strips
There are now two types of Precision PCx test strips that may be used
for testing with this system. The target area of the original Precision
PCx biosensor test strip is on the top of the strip. The target area of the
new Precision PCx Plus Test Strip with TrueMeasure™ Technology is
at the end of the strip. Only Precision PCx branded test strips should be
used for testing with this system. Note: For data management, Precision
PCx Plus Test Strips can be used only in conjunction with
QC Manager 3.0.
Inside each carton of test strips are test strip instructions for use. The
instructions contain important information about the test strip such as:
Storage and Handling, Sample Collection and Preparation, Quality
Control and Limitations of the Procedure. The section “Limitations of
the Procedure” contains the operating ranges for the system and the test
strips. Please read the instructions for use carefully.
