. Out-of-Range Flags
•
If a patient is outside the normal range for any of the analytes, then the result will
b
e flagged by reverse video, that is, the background of the result will be black and
t
he value in white numbers. A warning will be displayed below the results:
•
If the Internal QC zones for the device or a specific analyte are unacceptable, the
a
nalyte(s) in question display an exclamation point (
! )
in place of a value and a
w
arning is displayed:
!
INTERNAL QC OUT OF RANGE
.
•
If the QC Sample for a specific analyte on that device lot is unacceptable, the
analyte in question will display a pound sign ( # )in place of a value and a warning
is displayed: # QC SAMPLE OUT OF RANGE.
• If both QC Sample and Internal QC errors are present for a specific analyte, both a
pound sign and an exclamation point ( # ! ) will be displayed in place of a value and
a warning is displayed: # QC SAMPLE ! INT. QC OUT OF RANGE.
3. Blocked Results
When QC error conditions exist on a test device, whether for a specific analyte or the
entire test panel, the analytes in question are blocked from view and replaced with
an Out of Range Flag. The error condition must be remedied and the test repeated to
obtain a result.
4. QC Sample Frequency
• How often an external liquid control, QC Sample, should be run can be selected
under
SET PARAMETERS. If the time interval has expired, QC Samples must be
run and acceptable results obtained before a patient sample can be tested.
• A list of test device lots and the date that the QC Sample expires can
be viewed and printed by selecting REAGENT LOTS – QC under the
RECALL RESUL
TS
menu.
