a. If the test device’s internal quality control (QC) results are unacceptable,
the results for the affected analyte(s) will not appear on the screen (instead
will be flagged with a ! symbol).
b. If any of the QC Sample results are out of range, the results for that
particular analyte will be in reverse video (light text on a dark background).
c. A panel with multiple analytes will still be able to report patient results on
those analytes which passed QC. An analyte that failed QC will not be
reported on patient tests (instead will be flagged with a # symbol).
d. If an individual analyte is outside the specified range, the Triage MeterPro
Meter allows the user to rerun only the failed analyte on the next QC Sample
Test. When all analytes have passed, the QC Sample timer is set to the
date of the first passing analyte.
