1. A diagnostic test device comprising:
- a test member; and
an electronic communication circuit providing one or more indicia of operation of the test member to a user;
wherein the electronic communication circuit includes an audio output component comprising an audio chip that includes a memory driver having digital values stored therein, and includes a microcontroller signaling the audio output component to provide an audible indicia of operation of the test member; and
wherein the signal from the microcontroller is configured to instruct the audio chip to create the audible indicia of operation from the stored digital values in the memory driver of the audio chip.
