3.5 QC Settings setup
The QC Settings menu contains options for enforcing the
performance of liquid quality controls by the operator at
specified intervals. It also provides the option of custom-
izing the QC Range in accordance with applicable local
guidelines.
QC Range
There are two options:
■ Default Range: The meter displays the QC Range
provided by Roche Diagnostics in the code chip.
■ Custom Range: The option Custom Range lets the
user define their own QC Range within the default
range.
Lockouts (QC Lockout and Operator Lockout)
If the liquid quality control test is not performed correctly,
or if the result is outside the target value range, the meter
is locked from further use. The Lockout can also be set
up selectively for individual operators.
A liquid quality control test must be completed success-
fully before the meter is available again for testing (either
by the operator or in general).
Scan QC Material
The barcode scanner of the CoaguChek Pro II meter can
be used to scan barcodes from QC material vials. This
function can be set to Optional or Scan Only. When set to
Scan Only, the operator will not be able to manually select
a QC lot number from a list.
The option of setting up an Operator Lockout is availa-
ble only when operator lists are created on a data man-
agement system (DMS), stored in the meter, and
Operator login is activated. These lists are only available
in connection with a data management system. For
