- Repeat the previous steps until you reach the last field.
- After accepting the last field, the first field is automatically
selected in case you want to correct any characters.
- To confirm the ID entered and go back, hold the right
button (M) for 3 seconds.
While you are entering the PID, if one-minute elapses without
pressing any button, an E01 message will be displayed.
When consulting the results on the Meter, the result of a test
(INR or error message) is displayed along with its
corresponding PID (if entered), date and time.
When entering the PID, do not include patient sensitive
information (name, age, etc.) since it can be viewed in the
Meter.
2.6 QUALITY CONTROL
Internal quality control
Meter performance is automatically checked when the system
is turned on.
Integrated and independent on-board quality controls
Level 1 – Pre-test
• Chip integrity check
• Correct insertion check
• Automatic system calibration and rejection of expired
Chips
Level 2 - Measuring channel
• Analytic verification performed on the measuring channel that
identifies failures when processing the sample during the test,
as well as proper pre-analytical treatment of the sample.
Level 3 - Control channel
• Control channel provides highly controlled clotting times.
System reliability is assured when control clotting time lies
within a pre-defined range.
PROFESSIONAL USE:
Liquid control:
The microINR system has a number of on-board quality
control functions integrated into the Meter and the Chip and
therefore there is no need to run quality control tests with
liquid quality controls. However, iLine Microsystems has
available an optional liquid control (plasma) for the microINR
system. This control is provided to help meet the regulatory
requirements applicable to your facility. To purchase, contact
your local distributor.
