Setting Description
EQC Lockout Control (Continued)
Interval (1–1080)
Hours
Specify the period of time until the EQC Interval expires.
When the EQC Interval expires, patient test lockout occurs, preventing Operators from
running patient tests.
A Supervisor can congure the instrument so that after the EQC Interval expires,
Operators are allowed to run as many as 240 additional patient tests. This postpones
lockout. See the description for the eld labeled “Maximum Patient Tests Allowed
After EQC Expiration (0–240)” .
When the additional patient tests have been run, the next time an Operator tries to run
a patient test, lockout occurs. A Supervisor must clear the lockout.
Start Time
(HH:MM) (24 hr)
The time of day that the EQC Interval starts running. For information about the
EQC Interval, see the description for the eld labeled “Interval (1–1080) Hours” .
The instrument time is automatically populated by default. Enter the value in 24 hour
time format (e.g., for 7:00 pm , enter 19:00 ).
Start Date The date that the EQC Interval starts running.
EQC Failures
EQC Failure
Limit (0–9)
The number of additional failed EQC tests that Operators are allowed to run before
QC lockout.
By default, if an EQC test fails, Operators can run 1 more EQC test. If the EQC test
fails, lockout will occur.
A Supervisor can congure the instrument so that Operators are allowed to run as many
as 9 additional failed EQC tests after the rst test fails. This postpones lockout.
To prevent Operators from running any additional failed EQC tests, enter 0 (zero). The
rst time an EQC test fails, lockout will occur.
If additional EQC test failures are allowed, the value in the eld labeled “EQC Failure
Count” is incremented each time an additional EQC test fails.
EQC Failure
Count
A counter that displays the number of additional failed EQC tests that Operators have
run. This value is read-only.
After the rst EQC test fails, the counter is incremented each time an additional
EQC test fails. The counter will be cleared (reset) when the Operator runs a successful
EQC test.
A Supervisor can clear this value by selecting Yes in the eld labeled “Clear EQC
Failure Count” . The counter will be cleared (reset) when conguration data is sent to
the instrument.
For more information, see the description for the eld labeled “EQC Failure Limit (0–9)” .
Clear EQC
Failure Count
Choose whether to clear (reset) the counter that displays the number of failed
EQC tests that Operators have run:
• No – Do not clear the counter.
• Yes – Clear the counter.
When Yes is selected, the counter labeled “EQC Failure Count” will be cleared (reset)
when conguration data is sent to the instrument.
