9.5 Settings for control blood information (QC files)
Before using new control blood, input the control blood information
into the instrument.
Contents of these settings are the control blood lot ID, expiration
date, TARGET value and LIMIT values for each control parameter.
These can be entered by the following 2 methods.
• Entering from numerical keys dialog
• Entering from handheld bar code reader
Quality control determines the 2 aspects of the instrument status. The
analysis results fall within or out of the range of TARGET±LIMIT
determines the accuracy and the changes in analysis results over
times determine the precision. TARGET±LIMIT values are referred
to as the control limit values. TARGET value and LIMIT values are
different for each lot of the control blood.
The instrument automatically determines accuracy from the
TARGET value and LIMIT values that were input into the
instrument beforehand.
With this instrument, the TARGET and LIMIT values can also be
automatically calculated.
In a QC file, you can confirm and print the chart showing changes in
the analysis results over time as shown below.
This instrument stores the control blood information in 6 locations
(QC files).
