During analyzer setup and programming a selection can be
made to require entry of operator ID for each sample
analyzed. The analyzer will not report sample results until
an operator ID is entered. Enter an operator ID to obtain a
printed sample report.
Each measurement cassette and Standard Reference Cassette
(SRC) is provided with a barcode label that must be read
prior to insertion of the cassette into the analyzer.
The barcode contains measurement information, lot number
and expiration date. This message is displayed when the
expiration date indicated in the barcode information has been
exceeded. To resolve this error, first check analyzer time
and date settings. If the settings are correct remove the SRC
or measurement cassette and discard the expired cassette.
Select an in-date cassette to perform the measurement.
During sample aspiration the SMC light gates LG1 and LG2
(LG3 for Osmetech OPTI CCA) are used to detect proper
sample aspiration. When LG1 detects sample has been
aspirated at the beginning of the sensor path and LG2/LG3
fails to detect sample aspiration at the end of the sensor path,
the warning of a possible clot is displayed.
In the OPTI-trol mode, a blood sample must be measured after
the OPTI-trol measurement.
Each gas bottle is provided with a barcode label, which must
be read prior to insertion of the gas bottle.
This message is displayed when the expiration date on the
barcode has been exceeded.
First check whether the analyzer time/date setting is correct.
Then replace gas bottle with an in-date bottle (check
expiration date on new bottle).
Note: The in-use expiration date may occur prior to the
expiration date printed on the gas bottle label.
During analyzer setup, a selection can be made to require
entry of patient ID and operator ID for each sample analyzed.
If this function is selected, the analyzer will not report sample
results, until a patient and/or operator ID is entered.
