Glossary
QC: Quality Control.
QC Sample: External controls; a liquid
solution containing chemicals that, when
dispensed into a test device, react with
the test reagents. Used to verify proper
performance of test devices after
shipment or long periods of storage.
QC Sample Code Chip module: Code Chip
m
odule that can be downloaded into the
Triage MeterPro memory to give the meter
information needed about the specific lot
of QC Sample.
QC Device (previously called QC Simulator):
Test device containing
6 independent zones
that verifies proper
operation of the Triage
MeterPro’s ability to
properly read patient
tests across varying
analyte concentrations.
QC Device Code Chip module: Code Chip
module that can be downloaded into the
Triage MeterPro’s memory to give the
meter information needed about the
specific QC Device’s performance
in the assigned meter.
Quantify, quantifying: To give the results of
a test as number.
Reagent: Substance that causes chemical
reactions; used in analysis.
Reagent Code Chip module: Code Chip
module loaded with information about a
specific test and lot number.
Retrieve: Find, bring back.
Reverse Video: Light text displayed on a
dark background.
Screen: The part of the Triage MeterPro that
displays words and numbers.
Scroll to:
Use arrow keys to
go to the information you want on the
screen.
Set Parameters: A function of the
Triage MeterPro; requires the use of
the Supervisor Code Chip module.
Software Upgrade Code Chip:
Code Chip used to
download new
software onto the
Triage MeterPro.
Supervisor Code Chip module: The Code
Chip module that allows a supervisor to
set parameters and delete results.
Test device: Holds the sample (for example,
blood) from the patient so that it can be
inserted into the Triage MeterPro for
testing. Contains reagent zones that cause
reactions to occur that allow the meter to
determine analyte levels in the patient.
Test panel: Alternate name for Test device,
usually indicative of a Test device with
multiple analytes.
