MICROPOINT qLabs ElectroMeter Q-1 - Quality Control Procedures; Onboard QC Test Functionality

11. Quality Control
11.1 Onboard QC Test
The qLabs
®
ElectroMeter also measures the clotting time in the Quality
Control (QC) zone. If the QC result fails to fall within a predetermined
range, the qLabs
®
ElectroMeter will display an error code rather than give
a possible erroneous PT-INR result.
This safety measure guards the user against situations in which the
qLabs
®
PT-INR Test strip may have been subjected to very high
temperatures or humidity (which could happen if the foil pouch is torn or
punctured).
