Electronic Quality Control (EQC)
The EQC procedure verifies the calibration of the ASTUTE140
®
Meter, including the positioning
system, optical system and other internal systems of the meter to confirm that the meter is
functioning properly. It is recommended that the EQC procedure be run at a frequency in
accordance with the best practices of your institution. The required frequency for running EQC
may be set by a Supervisor in the general ASTUTE140
®
Meter default settings (See “Quality
Control Settings” on p. 31 for instructions).
Prior to running the first EQC procedure, the ASTUTE140
®
EQC Device must be registered (See
“ASTUTE140
®
EQC Device Registration” on p. 48 for details).
