5.4.2 Control cuvette
The control cuvette is a physical standard for a comfortable and cheap
check of the device. We recommend measuring the control cuvette once
a day.
Store the control cuvette always in the original box. Avoid contamination
of the control cuvette with potential infectious material. Clean and
disinfect the cuvette holder and the device before using the control
cuvette (see section 8.1, page 25). Keep away humidity (air humidity
>85%) from the control cuvette. Do not clean the control cuvette with any
solutions. If necessary clean the control cuvette carefully with a dry
cotton bud.
! Warning !
Each control cuvette with indicated limit values belongs to a
specific device. Hence, do not confuse control cuvettes. If a new
control cuvette is needed, it must be ordered as a set and needs
to be calibrated to the device.
The control cuvette is measured like a normal sample, refer to Section
5.2 on page 15. Thereafter it needs to be checked, whether the result is
within the limit values indicated on the box of the control cuvette. If the
value is outside the limits refer to Section 9, Troubleshooting.
5.4.3 Control solutions
To verify the complete measuring system including the microcuvette
liquid control materials are used, which are very similar to the patient
sample. We recommend measuring the control solutions once a week.
For handling the control material refer to the respective instructions for
use. We recommend using the control material Hb-con, which is offered
in various concentrations (see Section 12.1, page 36). If you use other
control material we cannot guarantee for the accuracy of the results.
