Chapter 9. The Qualification Study
9.1 Introduction (cont.)
Note:
In the event of power glitches or short-term drops in supply voltage (“brownouts”),
there is a remote chance that the Kaye Validator will fail to fall back to its backup
battery. In this case, the Validator will reset and potentially lose any study data stored
in internal memory. To prevent this from occurring, Kaye recommends connecting the
Validator to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) in areas likely to experience
brownouts.
When the qualification study is complete, you can generate reports to document the specifics
of your study using the Kaye Validator report generator. (See Chapter 10.)
Before you begin your qualification study:
•
Place the Kaye Validator in a location with stable and even temperature, not exposed
to any local heat sources (i.e., close to a sterilizer, an open door causing a draft, etc.).
Temperature variations and/or exposure to external heat sources during qualification
studies may cause temporary temperature measurement errors.
•
To provide maximum accuracy during the qualification study, power up the Validator
and let it run for approximately 30 minutes in the operating environment where
qualification is to be performed in order for the Validator to acclimate to the ambient
temperature.
•
Position your sensors in the vessel or chamber (the asset) being tested.
