STERRAD VELOCITY Reader User’s Guide

ASP ACCESS Configuration

In the Utilities Menu touch 

ASP ACCESS Config

 to see the ASP ACCESS 

Configuration settings. Refer to ASP ACCESS User’s Guide to generate a Pairing Code. In 
ASP ACCESS Configuration fill in the ASP ACCESS Server, the IP Address, Username and 

the Pairing Code. Touch 

Test

 to verify that the reader is connected to the ASP ACCESS 

device. During the test the reader will display a busy screen with the words “One 

Moment… Verifying Connection”. If a connection is detected, the reader will display a 

check mark in a green circle with the words “Connection Verified” for three seconds before 
returning to the ASP ACCESS Configuration screen. If a connection is not detected, the 
reader will display a yellow circle with an ”!” and the words “No Connection! Please verify 

IP Address, Username and Pairing Codes are correct.” for three seconds before returning 

to the ASP ACCESS Configuration screen. After returning to ASP ACCESS Configuration, 

verify that the settings are correct and test the connection again. If the test fails a second 
time refer to the “Troubleshooting” section of this guide (Chapter 8). Touch 

Done

 to return 

to the Utilities Menu.

Control Alerts

In the Utilities Menu touch 

Control Alerts

. The Control Alerts utility is used to 

determine the positive control BI request frequency. The reader is configured to request 
a new positive control every 24 hours. The user configurable control alert default and 

maximum time period is 24 hours. This time period can be changed so that the reader 
will request a positive control more often.

The Chemical Indicator Color Change toggle switch allows the user to stop the 

software from asking if the CI has changed color on a positive control BI. The chemical 
indicator only changes color when exposed to hydrogen peroxide or other oxidizers, and 
if stored properly the positive control BI’s chemical indicator should not have changed 
color. Follow the applicable hospital or healthcare facility policy regarding control 
chemical indicator color change documentation.
