Control Measurement 2.6
Perform control measurement at regular intervals so as to maintain the status of the instrument and
measurement quality. Up to 3 types or concentrations of controls can be measured by loading them
into the STAT and control rack (control measurement can be performed using at least one control,
and does not always require three different controls). Up to 200 control measurement results can be
stored in memory.
Prepare: Commercially available controls, STAT and control rack, sample tubes,
and protective gloves
Wear protective gloves to prevent exposure to pathogenic microbes.
Discard used controls, test strips, and protective gloves in accordance
with local regulations for biohazardous waste.
REFERENCE: This section describes how to perform control measurement when on standby.
However, controls can also be measured before or in course of normal measurement by
inserting the STAT and control rack at the beginning of or between the racks containing patient
samples.
REFERENCE: For the controls labeled with barcodes, “control IDs” read from the barcodes are
automatically assigned to the corresponding control measurement results.
