7.4.4 Predictive Performance
The Chromeleon software supports functions for estimating the lifetime
of consumables and for monitoring and recording service and
qualification information about the device. These functions, which are
called Predictive Performance, allow you to schedule maintenance
procedures based on the actual operating and usage conditions of the
device.
On special wellness, service, and qualification panels, you can define
intervals for replacing components that are subject to wear or stress and
for service procedures or qualification procedures. In addition, you can
set limits to alert you before and when the replacement, service, or
qualification is due. Color-coded bars on special panels provide visual
feedback, allowing you to easily check and monitor the status. If a
warning limit was set, a message in the Chromeleon Audit Trail alerts
you when the action is due.
Some counters can be reset to zero after the required action was
performed. To keep the Predictive Performance information up-to-date,
consider resetting the counter when a maintenance, service, or
qualification procedure has been performed.
