Set Operator ID and Password

The VerifyNow Instrument has been designed with features that restrict instrument
access. If this feature is enabled, a user identification number and a matching
password must be entered before an operator can use the instrument. In addition, it
is also possible to assign different authority levels to each user, depending upon the
instrument functions delegated to each user (e.g. running patient samples, QC
procedures or changing instrument settings).
The instrument's default setting does not provide for operator identification; however,
use the following procedure to adjust the setting or add/remove users based on your
institution's policy:
From the main menu, enter
1.
the keypad to enter the Operator ID number at the prompt. Press the Tab key to
advance to the Password prompt to enter the password number.
