Lockout Setup
The Lockout menu contains the options for quality control tests that the operator is required to
perform at specified intervals or based on specific triggers. This is a list of the available lockout
options:
■ Operator Lockout
■ QC Settings, containing
– New Lot Lockout
– QC Lockout
– IQC Lockout
■ Cleaning Lockout
■ STAT Test Config. (overriding a lockout in an emergency situation)
If the quality control test is not performed as required or if the result is outside the target value
range, the meter, parameter or test strip lot is blocked from further use. Lockouts can also be set
up on an operator-specific basis, i.e., each operator must perform the corresponding quality con-
trol tests at specified intervals.
A quality control test must be completed successfully before the meter is made available again
(either to the operator or in general) for testing.
The option of setting up lockouts for operators is available only when the meter is set up for
operator logins (see page 59) and operator lists are stored in the meter.
If a lockout is triggered in case of an emergency, there might not be the time to first complete the
required quality control test. For such a case you may set up so-called STAT Tests (STAT = Short
TurnAround Time). This option allows to perform a certain number of tests, although a lockout is
in force. However, once the defined number of STAT tests has been performed, further use of the
meter is no longer possible (for the affected test parameter or operator), unless the required
quality control test is successfully completed.
