Introduction

Qualityassuranceprogramscontrolandmonitoranalyticalmethods.Thequalitycontrolofanalytical
methodsachievestwobasicgoals:
1. Ensuresthatthereagentsandinstrumentareworkingproperly
2. Ensuresthattheprocedurewasperformedcorrectly
Themechanismbywhichanalyticalmethodsaretraditionallycontrolledisthroughtheuseof
liquidcontrol
specimenscontainingknownamountsofanalytes.

Overthelast15yearsadvancesintechnologyhavechangedthemannerinwhichthediagnosticreagents
areconfigured.AssaysystemsforthePointͲofͲCarearegenerallyunitizedtestingdevicesthataredistinct
fromtraditionallaboratoryͲbasedanalyzers.TheQuidelTriagetests
areunitizedteststhatdonotrequire
NOTE:Ifthemeterdoesnotpoweronafterreplacingbatteries,verifythebatteriesarelinedupaccording
tothesymbolsinthebatterycompartment.
NOTE:Rechargeablebatteriesareauthorizedforuse,howeverduetothenatureofthesetypesof
batteries,itisexpectedtheywillrequirerechargingmorefrequently.TheQuidelTriageMeterProdoesnot
containabuiltͲinbatterycharger,rechargeablebatteriesmustberechargedoutsideofthemeter.
