How do they interact? Does an advanced (Mod +3) medical kit with a qrEbs value of +2 grant a +5 mod to use?

On p 498 (Tech staging) it says:
QREBS Mods: The increases shown in the Stage Effects Table are Mods to the QREBS rolls; they are not absolute values. For example, an Advanced Device-12 exhibits Reliability=-Flux +3 (for a possible range from -3 to +8).
From this, I would say the final "Ease of Use +2" is derived from the flux roll with tech staging (Flux +3).
So you just get +2 as the final number to add to your rolls as the tech staging mod is already included in the final number.
What he said. Don't confuse mods that can be applied to task or effects with the QREBS modifiers.
If you don't use QREBS in your games just stick with the modifiers. QREBS can be pretty useful, but it depends on the detail you want to add to managing stuff in the game.
