Level 3 - Control channel

System reliability is assured when control clotting time lies
within a pre-defined range.
PROFESSIONAL USE:
Liquid control:
The microINR system has a number of on-board quality
control functions integrated into the Meter and the Chip and
therefore there is no need to run quality control tests with
liquid quality controls. However, iLine Microsystems has
available an optional liquid quality control for the microINR
system. This control is provided to help meet the regulatory
requirements applicable to your facility. Contact your local
distributor.
