STAT Test Configuration Quality control tests ensure consistent quality and accu-
rate measurements. In emergency situations, however, it
may be necessary to perform a test without delay. To
override an active lockout
1
, you can allow STAT Tests
(STAT = S hort T urn A round T ime).
You can set the number of tests (up to nine) permitted
beyond the lockout. Once the number of
STAT Tests
allowed has been reached, additional tests cannot be
performed until you have successfully completed a qual-
ity control test. The default setting is
three
STAT tests.
1. QC, operator, or new lot lockout
The results of STAT tests are always identified by the
label STAT Test when they are displayed (see page 115).
The number of STAT tests performed is counted per test
parameter used. Once the maximum number of STAT
tests has been reached, this parameter cannot be
tested without performing a control test first. Other test
parameters that have not yet reached this limit are still
available.
