Automaticqc Cartridge - Bayer HealthCare RapidPoint 400 Series Service Manual

AutomaticQC Cartridge

The AutomaticQC cartridge is self-contained and non-serviceable. It
consists of the fluidic, electronic, and mechanical components needed to
deliver QC material to the system's measurement components. The QC
material is uniquely formulated to provide performance verification at
several points in the clinical range of analytes measured by the
Rapidpoint 400 series systems.
The AutomaticQC cartridge is mounted on the right side of the system
where a support bracket secures it in place. The ampule breaker and an
access panel must be removed before the cartridge is installed. Four
standoffs attach the cartridge to the system where the ampule breaker was
previously mounted.
AutomaticQC cartridges supply sufficient QC material to run at least three
samples of each level three times per day for the life of the cartridge. Each
cartridge is stable for 14 days after installation on the system. The system
prompts the user when the cartridge needs to be replaced.
The cartridges must be stored refrigerated at 2 to 8°C.
