If desired, you can establish control limits to use with the

From the Controls screen, you can view a list of control
limits currently stored in your Osmo1, and then add, edit,
or delete controls as needed.
Accessing the Controls screen
1. From the Settings menu, tap Controls.
The system prompts you to log in.
2. Select the appropriate username from the list and
enter the corresponding password.

Adding a new control
1. From the Controls screen, tap Add.
The system prompts you to enter an ID for the
control and displays a keyboard.
2. Enter the ID.
NOTE: You can use the keyboard displayed on the
screen, or you can use the barcode scanner on
the front of the Osmo1 (see Figure 1 on
page17).
NOTE: To use the barcode scanner, hold the control
with its label positioned a few inches in front
of the barcode scanner. The scanner reads the
barcode and automatically populates the ID,
and Control Name fields on the Add/Edit
Control screen (Figure 52).
NOTE: If you manually enter the ID of an Advanced
Instruments control, the system populates the
Control Name field automatically. However,
this feature is case-sensitive. For example, the
system populates the name field with
“Clinitrol290” for an entry of 3MA029, but not
for 3ma029.

NOTE: The expiration dates on Advanced Instruments
controls include only the month and year, but
the software also requires a day. Use the last
day of the month as the expiration day.
