Triage Test Devices. A test device holds the
sample and also contains the reagents and
other materials needed for the test.
Overview: Running a Test
After a test sample (for example, blood) from a patient is added to the test device, the
test device is inserted in the Triage MeterPro. The meter measures how much of the
substance (a particular protein marker) is present, based on standards that have been
pre-programmed into the meter. The patient identification, the User I.D. number and the
test results can be printed out on a paper tape.

a paper sensor and
will feed the new
paper roll only when
paper with a clean
straight line is
pressed into the
paper roller.
b. Tear or cut a clean, straight edge to feed into the printer. Do not cut paper at an
angle, as the printer must sense the edge of the paper along the feed path.
c. Position the paper such that the paper will feed from under the roll (as opposed to
over the top of the roll, see picture).
d. Insert the paper edge under the paper roller (platen) until it firmly seats or
resistance is felt.
e. Press the key twice, paper will feed through the printer and extend
out the meter.
f. Place the roll of paper into the paper compartment.
g. Replace the printer cover and continue operation.

Location
The Triage MeterPro should be placed on a dry, clean, flat, horizontal surface away
from direct sunlight.
Power
The Triage MeterPro requires 6-volts DC supplied by either AC or DC. The meter will run
approximately 100 tests on batteries. It is recommended to use batteries as a backup
in the event of a power outage.
CAUTION: Use only the power supply provided with the meter, failure to do
so may cause permanent damage to the meter.
