epoc® Blood Analysis System with NXS Host Performing External Liquid Quality Control Video

This video will introduce you to the steps on how to perform external quality control on the epoch blood analysis system with Nix host. To start, ensure you have the most current evad sheets downloaded and printed. Next, select the QA testing item button on the home screen, select run QA test. Insert a test card into the reader. Ensure the correct lot number of the ampule is entered into the system. This can be done by scanning the barcode on the ampule, or manually entering it into the system using the host keyboard. Next, select the specific type of solution that will be running in the software. Select select tests and confirm the correct test has been chosen. While calibration is completing hold, the ampule between the thumb and index finger shake the ampoule vigorously for 15 seconds to re equilibrate the gases with the solution. Ensure this is done right before running the test. Allow bubbles to rise before opening the ampule. Swirl the ampule gently in order to return the solution to the bottom of the ampule. Hold the ampule with the colored dot facing up, snap off the neck of the ampule in the opposite direction of the color dot. Transfer the one milliliter of fluid from the bottom of the ampule into a plain syringe by aspirating it through a large bore needle or a blunt tip. Ensure the syringe is kept in a vertical position to ensure any air bubbles trapped. Do not move through the fluid. Moving air bubbles contaminate the fluid. Next, remove the needle from the syringe and expel a few drops of the fluid onto a paper towel or tissue. Fit the syringe, lure into the test card. Sample introduction port as you would for a whole blood test. Depress the plunger with a single smooth continuous motion until the system prompts you to stop. Once the test is complete, compare each value to the most current evad sheet that has been printed out. If results are outside of the specified ranges, refer to the troubleshooting and error messages located in the epoch system manual. When testing is complete, remove the test card and dispose per laboratory protocol. Select the saving close button in the software. This completes the video on how to perform external quality control on the epoch blood analysis system with Nick's host.
