QC TIME The QC Time sets the time when the QC Cycles (a test run in the Control
pathway consisting of a QC cartridge and a corresponding QC fluid) will begin
to count toward satisfying the QC test profiles, i.e. when QC will become “due
to start”.
The Grace Period is the period of time, starting from the Due Time, during
which the QC test profile must be completed before the corresponding
cartridge set is locked out.
Disabled A QC Time can only be chosen if QC Frequency has been
activated.
Use the 24 hour clock designation to indicate the time when
QC is due. For example, if QC will be due at 2 pm, enter
14:00 for the time.
Enter the Grace Period in hours:
• Up to 23 hours for daily schedules
• Up to 167 hours for weekly schedules, and
• Up to 255 hours for monthly schedules.
The minimum Grace Period is one hour for any schedule
type.
