When a LQC alert is due, the Test button on the

Home screen will glow yellow.

Enabling LQC Bypass (STAT)

Sometimes a LQC reminder lockout will occur when STAT (Short

Turn Around Time) patient test must be performed. To address this

need, the Supervisor can allow defined operators to bypass a LQC

reminder lockout. Each LQC lockout can only be bypassed up to five

times. See Page 50 for more details.

When LQC is bypassed to perform a patient test,

the test’s historical record will be marked with a

special LQC Bypass padlock icon.

NOTE: bypassing a LQC lockout is only possible if the

lockout is due to a reminder expiring. It is not possible to

bypass a lockout due to a LQC test failing.
