7.3 Quality Control
By analyzing control materials, day-to-day reproducibility can be monitored. Both
target values and acceptable ranges for each parameter can be specified for different
QC levels herein.
The
Abacus junior 5
provides six different Quality Control levels. You can
configure up six individual reference sheets for each control material (e.g. low,
normal and high control blood). QC measurement results will be saved to the
selected level, as indicated at the top right corner.
NOTE:
Target values of the control material should be set only once, at
the beginning of the QC measurements. Resetting parameters
deletes previous QC results of the actual level.
CAUTION! Any change in the QC material setting deletes previous QC results.
It is strongly recommended to print results prior to changes.
