Control Data Setup Window; Sample Select Window; Qc Sample Definition Window - Siemens ADVIA 1800 Operator's Manual

Control Data Setup window

Use the Control Data Setup window to manually enter the control mean and 1SD limits for
evaluation of the daily and the cumulative control statistics. Typically, you enter values
obtained from the package insert of a commercial control.
You can also obtain the control mean and 1SD values from the actual control results using
the Daily Precision Control and QC Cumulative windows, and then allow the system to
load them automatically into the Control Data Setup window. For example: use the
procedures to enter data for a pool of patient samples you want to run as a control.
Perform any of the following tasks at this window:
• enter the mean and 1SD values
• print control data registration information
• delete control data registration information
• copy control data registration information

Sample Select window*

Use this window to select the samples for control sample analysis and calibrations, and to
temporarily disable a sample so that the rest of a run can proceed.
For example, if you only want to run ISE calibration on serum samples, disable the ISE
calibration urine samples. The run proceeds normally, but it does not include urine
samples.
Perform any of the following tasks at this window:
• select samples available for control analysis calibration
• print the settings
• clear the settings

QC Sample Definition window*

Use the QC Sample Definition window for the following tasks:
• entering the information required to run samples of up to 26 control products
• requesting an automatic run of control(s) after a user-specified number of samples are
processed
Perform any of the following tasks at this window:
• enter the sample information for a control
• configure the automatic control feature
• print the control sample information
