Sarah dreams of beansJust running a covid test for a pal in East Van while we are rushing to a ferry. Why is this so funny and delightful to me?
sport of sacred spherical cowsDoes this testing apparatus demand a level surface and no movement while the test is running?
Pretty sure the testing rig we have specifies both, and even then it fails with an error on half the test we've tried to run on it.
@beadsland That's a bummer that your tests are so unreliable! Can I ask what kind you have?
Aptitude Metrix.
Gave up on it years ago. Just dug it out from behind the mask supply to check and confirm the usage instructions.
"Always use on the Metrix Reader on a flat surface."
The video also specifies that a flat surface be used in the assembly of the sensor component once the swab has been taken.
The instruction not to move their reader while in operation is not reflected here, but may have been additional guidance offered by their customer support team. Or maybe am just misremembering.
They sent replacement tests for each one that failed, but expect those have all expired since, as we didn't even bother trying to use them.
