Rapidpoint 400 Series Cartridge Usage

Overview

There are two modes of operation for the Rapidpoint 400 series system:
• FOR DEMONSTRATION ONLY mode
The FOR DEMONSTRATION ONLY mode supports demonstration
cartridges only.
•

USER mode

The USER mode supports both measurement and simulator
cartridges.
Each operational mode has separate software that resides on the system.
Access to each of the modes is carefully controlled through a series of
rules. These rules prevent a wrong combination of cartridges and modes.
Inappropriate combinations generate diagnostic messages. Attempting to
install the wrong cartridge type in the wrong mode can invalidate an
otherwise good measurement cartridge:
• Measurement cartridges last 28 days or 400/750 samples, or
whichever comes first.
• Wash/waste cartridges last 10 days or 250 samples, or whichever
comes first.
• The system prompts for measurement cartridge removal and
wash/waste cartridge removal when either 30 or fewer samples
remain, or when 24 hours remain before the cartridge expires. The
system prompts for whichever comes first.
• AutomaticQC cartridges last 28 days or 93 samples for each of the
5 levels (1, 2, 3, Hct A, Hct B).
• The system prompts for AutomaticQC cartridge removal when 10 or
fewer samples remain for any one level, or when 24 hours remain
before the cartridge expires. The system prompts for whichever comes
first.
