The user has the following options to choose from on this screen:
• 1-Unscheduled: selecting this option allows the user to perform a liquid QC run which will
not be applied to a customized liquid QC schedule(s).
• 2-Schedule 1, 3-Schedule 2 (if applicable), or 4-Schedule 3 (if applicable): selecting one
of these options will allow the user to apply the liquid QC run to one of the customized
schedules.
If the user presses 2, 3 (if applicable), or 4 (if applicable) on this screen, they will then be taken to a
screen where they can select the cartridge type to be run.
Note:
The number in parentheses next to the cartridge name indicates how many control fluids
remaining to be run on cartridges of that type and pass in order to satisfy the QC Profile.
Once the cartridge type is selected, the user is taken to a screen to select the fluid type being run.
Once the fluid type is selected, the user proceeds as normal.
Manual Pass/Fail Determination: Once the results appear on the screen, if the handheld is customized
for Manual Control Pass/Fail Determination, the user will then be prompted to select an outcome as to
whether the liquid QC run passed or failed. The user would check the results against the appropriate
Value Assignment Sheet, determine if the run passed, or failed, and then press the appropriate key and
answer yes to the resulting question in order to store the pass/fail record in the handheld.
“Automatic via EVAS” Pass/Fail Determination: Examples of handheld display screens when the
handheld Control Pass/Fail Determination customization is set to “Automatic via EVAS” can be found in
the Technical Bulletin: “Liquid Quality Control Pass/Fail Customization on the i-STAT 1 Handheld”.
