STAT test configuration
Quality control tests ensure consistent quality and accurate measurements. In emergency situa-
tions, however, it may be necessary to perform a test without delay. To override an active lockout
for a test parameter, lot or operator, you can allow for STAT Tests (STAT = Short TurnAround
Time). STAT tests cannot be performed if IQC lockout is in place or a new lot has not (yet) passed
a quality control test (New Lot Lockout).
You can set a number of tests permitted beyond the lockout. Once the number of allowed STAT
Tests has been reached (for a single parameter), additional tests for this parameter are locked
until you successfully perform a quality control test.
STAT tests are labelled accordingly in the result window.
STAT Tests will be counted separately for each test parameter. Thus the actual availability of
STAT Tests may differ for each parameter.
