2.4.2 Using the Barcode Scanner
Operators can use the barcode scanner to enter information into the instrument more quickly and
accurately than by manual entry. Operators can scan Operator IDs (OIDs), Patient IDs (PIDs), and
LQC lot information.
If a Supervisor species that Operators are required to enter information, they can also specify that they
are required to enter it using only the barcode scanner.
NOTE: The barcode scanner does not read the barcode label on the test cartridge. During testing, an
internal scanner automatically reads the barcode label on the test cartridge.
NOTE: Do not point the barcode scanner directly at anyone. The LED light from the barcode scanner
ashes brightly, which can be distracting.
When an Operator is required to enter information into the instrument (and if barcode scanning is allowed
or required), a dialog box is displayed.
1 When the dialog box is displayed, select Scan to activate the barcode scanner light.
2 While the barcode scanner light ashes, hold the instrument at a 90° angle to the barcode label
( Figure 13 ).
Figure 13 : Scanning a Barcode
The distance depends on the
size of the barcode label.
3 An audible beep will be heard when the barcode scanner reads the barcode.
4 Verify that the information was entered into the dialog box.
5 Select Save to save the information or Cancel to exit without saving.
