Synchronization lockout
A synchronization lockout occurs when the instrument
has not synchronized with the DMS in a defined time
period.
The period of time between the last synchronization with
the DMS and the synchronization lockout is calculated in
terms of a warning of the lockout and the lockout itself.
The lockout warning displays after a defined period of
time since the last DMS synchronization. The time period
is set using the Show synchronization lockout
warning prior to actual lockout (in hours)
configuration item.
The synchronization lockout occurs after a defined
period of time after the warning was displayed. The time
period is set using the Synchronization lockout (in
hours) configuration item.
The following are unavailable due to the lockout;
• Glucose test
• Proficiency test
• QC test
• Linearity test
• Insulin entry
• OTS
Synchronization lockout can be overridden for a pre-
determined number of times. The Allow QC /
synchronization lockout overrides configuration item
enables the override. The number of times the override
can be used (9 maximum) is set using the Number of
lockout overrides allowed configuration item,
If the override is enabled, you can perform emergency
tests and override lockouts for glucose tests. This is
possible as long as the override lockout counter value
has not been exceeded.
