Quality-related comments
For QC tests and linearity tests, the instrument can be
configured so that a comment must be entered when a
test fails.
Invalid result toggle button
For patient-related tests (glucose tests, emergency tests,
and OTS) the lower area of the Comments dialog box
contains the Invalid result toggle button.
The Invalid result toggle button is used to remove an
"invalid result" from the Patient results on the Local
results screen. For example, when an error was made
while performing a test (dirt on the hand). The result is
still transmitted to DMS (flagged as invalid).
