5. SETTING X M CONTROL
How to start/stop X M Control (which uses patient samples), and how to set the number
of samples in the batch to be used as data for X M Control computation are explained
below.
The presence or absence of " X M" in the System Status display informs the operator
that X M Control is in start (activated) or stop (inactivated) mode. As soon as patient
blood analysis starts, X M Control is activated automatically and performs quality
control of specified number of samples in every batch. The data for each batch is stored
in the X M Control File. The default number of samples per batch is 20, but can be
changed to any number between 1 and 999.
