HOW TO PERFORM QUALITY TESTING (CONT.)
ELECTRONIC SIMULATOR
The i-STAT Alinity Electronic Simulator is a quality control device used to
evaluate the i-STAT Alinity instrument's ability to read the electronic signal
from a cartridge. The test cycle for the Electronic Simulator is approximately 60
seconds.
The i-STAT Alinity Electronic Simulator test provides an independent check
on the ability of the instrument to take accurate and sensitive measurements of
voltage, current and resistance from the cartridge. The instrument will pass or fail
this electronic test depending on whether or not it measures these signals within
limits specified in the instrument software.
