set the year. Use the left button (E) to select the correct year.
• After setting the month, time and date, press the right button
(M) again to save your settings.
Conducting a test without setting the date correctly
might cause a non-detection of expired Chips (E02).
2.5 PATIENT IDENTIFICATION (OPTIONAL)
To identify the patient (PID), take the following steps before
conducting a test:
• Hold the right button while inserting a Chip and release it
afterwards. Upon releasing the button, “PID” and a 24
alphanumeric field will be displayed, to fill in.
• To enter the characters corresponding to the PID:
- The first field will flash when selected.
- To enter the first character, press the le button until you
reach the desired character.
- Validate the character with the right button and go to the
next field.
- Repeat the previous steps until you reach the last field.
- Aer accepting the last field, the first field is automatically
selected in case you want to correct any characters.
- To confirm the ID entered and go back, hold the right
button for 3 seconds.
While you are entering the PID, if one minute elapses
without pressing any buttons, an E01 message will be
displayed.
When consulting the results on the Meter, the result of a test
(INR or error message) is displayed along with its
corresponding PID, date and time. When exporting the
microINR results to a PC, the PID will be exported as one more
piece of test information.
2.6 QUALITY CONTROL
Internal quality control
Meter performance is automatically checked when the system
is turned on.
Integrated and independent on-board quality controls
Level 1 – Pre-test
• Chip integrity check
• Correct insertion check
• Automatic system calibration and rejection of expired
Chips
Level 2 - Measuring channel
• Analytic verification performed on the measuring channel that
identifies failures when processing the sample during the test,
as well as proper pre-analytical treatment of the sample.
