PROCEDURE FOR USING AN i-STAT CERAMIC CONDITIONING CARTRIDGE (CCC) FOR
ANALYZER PIN CONDITIONING
Step Number Explanation
1. Run an external Electronic Simulator. If the analyzer is configured with the internal Electronic Simulator
enabled, run an external Electronic Simulator. Running the
external Electronic Simulator ensures the internal Simulator cycle
will not execute during the pin conditioning process, which could
lead to the premature termination of the process.
2. Run the CCC two times. Initiate the CCC cycle as you would initiate an external Electronic
Simulator cycle. The instrument will identify the CCC as an
external Electronic Simulator and display a Simulator Failure
Code (i.e. rRGL) when the cycle is complete. Disregard the
code, as this is expected behavior.
3. Update the CCC Usage Log The log is located on page 3 of the Technical Bulletin entitled
“Instructions for Restoring Analyzers That Produce *** for
Hematocrit and Quality Check Code 23”, which is shipped with
the CCC. Updating the log allows the user to keep track of the
number of pin conditioning cycles performed with the current
ceramic strip in the CCC. If necessary, replace or rotate the
ceramic strip so the CCC is ready for future use.
4. Return the analyzer to service.
