Control Test Limits
The DCA Vantage system is qualified for specific reportable ranges, as
indicated in the following table. If the HbA
1c
value is less than the lower limit or
greater than the upper limit, the instrument displays a warning message.
Depending on the primary reporting unit configured, this message tells you
when a reported value is less than or greater than the range for that unit.
The following table lists the control test limits for each algorithm type:
Setting a Test Lockout
Use the Test Lockout screen to prevent a user from performing patient tests
when the current test type has a control test due. An authorized operator can
turn off the Patient Test Lockout to unlock the system if a control test did not
pass. Use the remote patient lockout function to perform a lockout from a
remote computer via the network connection.
NOTE: You can disable the Remote Patient test Lockout setting from the
system if you enter the Support ID.
