Running Control Samples

Introduction
Once the control has been defined, the control sample is run on the instrument with or
without bar code labels. Then following procedures describe how to run a control
sample for each condition
Running Control Samples With Bar Code Labels and Auto Generation of Control Enabled
Step
1 Place bar-coded control samples in rack. All tube bar code labels must be
visible through the slots on the same side of the rack as the rack bar code
label.
2 When Auto Generation of Control is enabled, the automatic Multiple
Cartridge option is available. With the Multiple Cartridge option enabled,
the system will automatically run all cartridges onboard and runnable for
any chemistries for an auto generated control. To enable Multiple cartridge
from the Set-up screen, scroll down and select <29> Auto Generation of
Control.
3 Press the RUN button on the analyzer.
The instrument automatically runs chemistries that are:
• Defined for the control.
• Loaded and calibrated.
• Contain sufficient volume to run the controls.
4 If all tests programmed for an Auto Generated control ID do not complete
testing (for example, reagent not onboard, calibration required, cal time
exceeded or disabled), the next time the control ID is loaded, all tests for
the control will Auto Generate and be run again. If a control ID that was
Manually programmed does not complete testing, the next time the control
ID is loaded, only the incomplete test will be run. A Manually
programmed control ID that is incomplete must be manually cleared
before reloading the sample in order to Auto Generate all tests for the
control.
