Patient Identification: Required before testing, using a barcode reader or connected device.
Test Execution: Insert the SmartChip, perform blood collection, and apply the sample correctly to avoid errors.
4. Ksmart Test Sampling and Reading:
Follow specific instructions for sample collection and insertion timing to ensure accurate results.
5. Result Display and Storage:
Results are displayed and stored automatically. Up to 1000 results can be stored, and they can be browsed and selected for detailed viewing.
6. Quality Control:
Quality control tests can be performed using Liquid Quality Controls specific to each SmartChip. Results are stored similarly to routine tests.
7. Error Messages:
Error messages are displayed with a code and possible solutions are provided in the manual.
- Low Battery: Insufficient charge to perform a test. Solution: Eject SmartChip, plug in power adapter, and reinsert SmartChip within 1 minute.
- Memory Full: Not enough space to save results. Solution: Eject SmartChip, erase results, or set memory to automatic.
- Insufficient Ambient Brightness: Not enough light for the test. Solution: Ensure sufficient lighting and reinsert SmartChip.
- Data Reading Error: SmartChip not inserted properly or damaged. Solution: Reinsert SmartChip or use another one.
- Inadequate Ambient Temperature: Temperature too high or low. Solution: Adjust environment temperature and retry with another SmartChip.
- Expired SmartChip: SmartChip has expired. Solution: Use an unexpired SmartChip.
