Schedule Instrument QC Status
The QC Status is a report of the current incubator temperature and the status
of the optics systems. The report is sent to the VITEK
®
2 workstation where it
is recorded with the date and time the report was taken.
The configuration option allows you to schedule up to three times of day
when a QC report is taken and recorded at the workstation.
The Instrument Quality Control Status includes two parameters:
• Carousel Incubator Temperature
• Optics Systems
The instrument continuously monitors these parameters so their status can
be determined at any time. The user interface provides a function, called
Display Instrument QC Status, to access this information.
