6.2 Proficiency Test

Proficiency tests are also called external quality control tests. In proficiency tests, the analysis of

unknown samples from external quality control providers can reflect the accuracy of the system.

6.2.1 Procedures for Proficiency Test

Follow the directions below to perform a proficiency test:

1. Examine the package label of proficiency samples to ensure they have not expired.

2. Remove an ampoule from the box and equilibrate it to room temperature.

If oxygen is to be measured, the ampoule needs to stand at room temperature for 4 hours. If

not, the ampoule needs to stand at room temperature for only about 30 minutes.

3. Press the On/Off button on the left hand side of the analyzer to turn it on.

4. Enter the user name and password manually, and then press .

To enter the user name with the bar code scanner, press first, and then scan the user

name bar code.
