Overview of quality control management
Quality control management is important as it evaluates the performance of the
analyzer to make sure that the patient results are accurate and precise.
The analyzer manages quality control automatically, but if local, federal or state regulations
require additional quality control procedures, operators can do them.
Automatic quality control management (AQM) is the name given to quality control
procedures that the analyzer is programmed to do automatically.
About built-in QC measurements
The analyzer uses the three levels of QC solution contained in the solution pack to do
built-in QC measurements. These QC solutions are automatically registered in slots A,
B and C when a solution pack is installed.
Note:
The solution in slot A is S9030, the solution in slot B is S9040 and the solution in
slot C is S9050.
Built-in QC measurement frequency
A built-in QC measurement is scheduled by default to be done every 8 hours. One
measurement a day is done with each QC solution. Built-in QC measurements are also
scheduled by default to be done in connection with these activities:
• Replacement of the solution pack
• Replacement of the sensor cassette
• Startup
You can edit the schedule for built-in QC measurements.
