QC lockout is enabled when the last QC test
performed is out of range. Consequently if no
successful QC test has been performed, the
instrument will be in QC lockout.
• Shift
[SHIFT]
A QC lockout is activated with each change of shift. It
works in conjunction with the Shift length (in
hours) and Shift start configuration items.
• Shift (alternating QC level)
[SHIFT_ROTATE]
The same as Shift, but the QC test uses the level 1
and the level 2 QC materials alternately rather than
both levels.
• Test strip count
[STRIP_COUNT]
QC lockout is enabled after a predetermined number
of successful tests have been performed (excluding
QC tests). It works in conjunction with the Test strip
count configuration item.
• Test strip count (alternating QC level)
[STRIP_COUNT_ROTATE]
The same as Test strip count, but the QC test uses
level 1 and level 2 QC materials alternately rather than
both levels.
• Time of day
[TIME_OF_DAY]
QC lockouts are enabled at specified times of day (up
to 6). It works in conjunction with the Time of day
configuration item.
• Time of day (alternating QC level)
[TIME_OF_DAY_ROTATE]
The same as Time of day, but the QC uses L1 and L2
controls alternately rather than both controls.
