8 Operating modes
The Roche OMNI C is a combined bloodgas, electrolyte, and tHb/SO
2
analyzer. It is possi-
ble to complete database procedures or to make simultaneous adjustments during measure-
ment or calibration.
The individual, mutually independent operating modes are defined as follows:
•
Analyzer: measuring, QC, system, calibration, commonly used functions
• Setup: instrument settings
• Database: data about patients, measurements, calibration, QC, and the instrument
• Info: Roche info, version numbers, fill levels, help, sensor status
8.1 Analyzer
The "Analyzer" operating mode contains parameter information (for example, "Ready"),
system settings, and the QC measurement. The highest level of this operating mode is the
"Ready" screen.
8.1.1 Parameter – depiction and buttons
For a more detailed description, see chapter 1, " Introduction "!
8.1.2 "Ready" screen
The Ready screen is the central starting point for all operations. The instrument is usually
in the "Ready" state.

If a "mandatory input" field has been modified (in the "Setup" operating mode), measure-
ment can begin only after entering the data associated with this input field.
Every possible input value can be defined as a "mandatory input."
IMPORTANT: only one input value can be defined.
