NOW–Electronic System Check maximizes flexibility for liquid QC test frequency
The Stratus® CS System has been designed to be in compliance with laboratory accrediting agencies such as CAP, JCAHO and NCCLS, who allow the use of daily System Check (Electronic QC) to satisfy the routine QC requirement for cardiac markers in lieu of daily assays of liquid controls.*
|
| |
• |
Optical Detection System– Continuously monitored and adjusted |
| |
• |
Mechanical Alignments– Sensors and motion control software automatically verify critical alignment parameters |
| |
• |
Fluid Handling System– Continuously monitored and adjusted |
| |
• |
Contamination Prevention– Use of air displacement and disposable pipette tips prevent carryover and reagent cross contamination |
| |
• |
Temperature– The temperature of the thermal chamber and fluorometer are verified to be 37ºC ± 0.2º |
| "[Automated System Checks] are more sensitive than conventional liquid control materials at detecting instrument malfunction...detect malfunctions before results are compromised...consume no reagents, and require less than six minutes..." |

Customize your QC Program with Lockouts
If any lockout conditions are violated, the system will not allow patient samples to be processed.
| |
|
|
| |
• |
System Check Lockout–System Check must be performed within a period of time you specify (0 to 30 hours) |
| |
• |
Liquid QC Lockout– Liquid QC must be performed within a time you specify (up to 60 days) |
| |
• |
Liquid QC Range Lockout– Liquid QC results must be within a user-specified range |
What's more, Connectivity / Remote System Monitoring enables the laboratory to maintain control via LIS interface.
