The Linearity Test menu enables you to verify method linearity using a RNA Medical® brand Glucose and β-Ketone
Calibration Verification Control (CVC) kit. These kits contain assayed materials for use in confirming the calibration
and linearity of glucose and β-ketone at the upper and lower limits of the reportable range and at three (3) points within
the range. CVC kits are designed for specific test strip types. Please refer to the CVC package insert for compatible test
strip types and detailed instructions for use.
Please use the following procedure to perform a Linearity Test. This functionality may or may not be available
depending on the configuration of the monitor through the data management system.
Note:
This section is only for Point of Care Coordinators, not operators. It illustrates some common settings.
Depending on your institution’s specific settings, some screens will display differently or not at all.
If the monitor does not display the screens shown, please refer to Chapter 10, Troubleshooting.
IMPORTANT:
Patient testing should be run in patient test mode only. Results obtained in Linearity test mode
should only be used to assess system linearity performance.
