Reagents Barcodes
For the reagent system the code used is type EAN13.
1°, 2°, 3°: Numeric analysis code, for example: 128 (GLU)
4°: Type of tube (for example: 80ml)
5°: Reagent 1° or Reagent 2°
6°, 7°, 8°: Expiry date, year, and month (for example: August 2004 = 408)
9°, 10°, 11°, 12°: Progressive number of 4 digits from 0 to 9999
The algorithm, which manages the control of utilization of the tube is as follows:
A password establishes if one desires to operate the analyzer as a system:
"OPEN" or "CLOSED"
In the last case (CLOSED), when the tube is empty it cannot be reused if refilled
with an another reagent. There are other control parameters to avoid the reuse of
the same sample tube, as for example the number of possible tests, the
decrement of the consumed liquid, the expiry date etc.
Obviously it is possible to use the instrument by reading only the analysis code for
positive detection through use of another password.
