Using the control ID function
In quality control testing, a suitable control ID must always be entered. The lot number of the control material is recommended as a suitable control ID. The control
ID function cannot be disabled.
Entering Control ID
It is recommended to enter the control ID during processing of the test cartridge in the analyzer. Entering the control ID will not interrupt the processing. It is also
possible to enter the control ID before processing. Both letters and numbers can be entered (maximum 16 characters). The control ID will be stored in the memory
and displayed along with the other specific data for this run.
To enter the control ID during processing, do the following:
1
Touch
to enter the control ID option.
2
Enter control ID by numbers and/or touch
to enter letters.
Touch
to confirm and return to the previous view.
3
The entered control ID will appear on the screen.
The control ID touch button will remain in the view and make corrections possible.
Using the QC lockout function
When the QC lockout function is enabled for one or more assays, approved control testing is required within the configured interval. If the interval expires, patient
testing for the assay will be locked. A passed control run must be performed according to configuration to reset the interval or to unlock the assay for patient testing.
A failed control run will disable patient testing (see “QC lockout configuration”, page 16).
QC lockout status
The status of the active QC lockouts is presented with a QC lockout status button (padlock symbol) visible in the Start-up menu. This gives the operator the status
of QC lockout before he attempts to run any tests.
The padlock symbol will only be visible if QC lockout function is enabled for one or more assay types.
The padlock symbols used are:
Enabled-unlocked
All controls are within the configured interval. It is possible to run patient tests for all assays.
Warning-unlocked
All controls are within the configured interval. When one or more of the assays has 10 % or less of the configured interval remaining the
warning icon will be displayed. It is possible to run patient tests for all assays.
Expired-locked
One or more controls have expired according to the configured interval. Patient testing on the expired assay has been locked.
