Icon Keys; Keypad; Power Switch And Indicator - Accumetrics VerifyNow User Manual

Feature Description
Mode The software supports two different modes, depending on whether
the instrument is performing a quality test (QC mode) or
processing a patient sample (assay mode). In Figure 2-2, a
patient bed indicates an assay mode.
Assay Type Displays the quality control or sample test being performed
(Aspirin, P2Y12, or IIb/IIIa).
Date and Time Displays the current date and time.
NOTE: The instrument goes into "stand-by" mode when not in use for more than
five minutes. In stand-by mode, the screen will be blank and the green LED
indicator on the keypad will be illuminated. Pressing any key will return the
instrument to the VerifyNow instrument Main Menu. See section 9.4 to adjust this
setting.

Icon Keys

The four icon keys directly to the right of the display screen correspond to the
different icons displaying on the screen. Selecting an icon key displays another
screen or directs the instrument to perform an action.
2.1.4

Keypad

The keypad contains 13 labeled keys located directly below the display screen. The
"0" through "9" keys are used to enter operator and patient identification numbers,
change the time and the date, and make selections from menu options. They can
also be used to perform numeric entries. The right (→ → → → ) and left (← ← ← ← ) arrow keys move
the cursor as needed and work as toggle switches within certain screens. The Tab
key is used to move the cursor from field to field within certain screens.
2.1.5

Power Switch and Indicator

The power switch is located on the back of the instrument ("I" designates on, "O"
designates off). When the instrument is initially powered on, a series of internal
diagnostics occurs, which takes approximately 30 seconds. When power is on, a
green LED indicator on the lower left corner of the keypad remains illuminated.
