How to remove the assay device from Accumetrics VerifyNow Medical Equipment?
To remove the assay device from the Accumetrics Medical Equipment, remove the device and tube together before proceeding.
Why did the EQC fail on my Accumetrics VerifyNow Medical Equipment?
A failed EQC event on the Accumetrics Medical Equipment occurs when an assay was attempted following a failed EQC, or if the date or time was changed since the last EQC was run and an assay was attempted. To resolve this, have an operator with QC authority return to the Main Menu screen and Login. Then, perform an EQC test.
What causes low distal voltage in Accumetrics VerifyNow Medical Equipment?
A low distal voltage in the Accumetrics Medical Equipment can be caused by incomplete reagent reconstitution, a damaged EQC device, faulty optical components, or excessive time between the blood draw into a syringe and sample transfer to the sample tube or start of the assay. If running an EQC, verify the device is not damaged. If running an assay, ensure that the sample was drawn correctly.
Why is there an air leak in my Accumetrics VerifyNow Medical Equipment?
An air leak in the Accumetrics Medical Equipment can be caused by a dirty port connection, use of an incompatible sample tube, or not inserting the sample tube firmly against needle hub. To resolve this: 1) Keep the assay device for troubleshooting, and verify the detection wells filled with blood and the correct Greiner tube was used. 2) Perform an EQC test. 3) If the EQC is OK, run a Wet QC Level 1.
