Port Identification Nomenclature

Figure 5. Port Identification

Ports on the 3M Rapid Detection Reader are identified by a multi- character nomenclature system. The first set of characters is the serial number of the TM; the last character is a letter (A or B) referring to the left (A) or right (B) port for a particular TM. This is displayed at the top of the screen (Figure 5) when the port icon is touched or if there is an IQC port error and in the IQC results log.
