Port Identification Nomenclature
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.
