RAMP READER OPERATION PRINCIPLES

• The RAMP Reader uses proprietary software to read pre-programmed lot cards
• The lot card is inserted into the RAMP Reader prior to running a new test lot and enables the RAMP Reader to automatically determine the test that is being run and calibrates the RAMP Reader on a lot-specific basis. No user calibration required!
  • The RAMP Reader rejects used or expired cartridges or insertion of a new cartridge without previous lot card entry
• The test cartridge is prepared, as per the Instructions for Use, and inserted into the RAMP® Reader
  • If the RAMP Reader detects any errors, a clear error message will display on-screen instead of reporting a wrong result
• The RAMP Reader calculates the RAMP Ratio to correct for sources of variability; time to result is ~15 minutes
