Performing Microalbumin/Creatinine Quality Control Video

In this simulation, you'll learn how to run microalbumin creatinine quality control on the DCA Vantage Analyzer. Again, by preparing the controls according to the manufacturer's instructions. Remove the capillary Holder an plunger from the microalbumin creatinine reagent kit. You must start the control test from the home screen, otherwise the system will not recognize that a QC test is being run. The control card includes two scannable barcodes, one on each side of the card. One side of the control card is for a normal control, the other side is for an abnormal control. With the barcode facing to the right, insert the card into the top of the barcode track. Hold the car gently against the right side of the track and slide it downwards. A beep sounds to signal a successful scan. Fill the glass capillary tube with the control solution. If an air bubble is present in the filled tube, discard the capillary Holder and fill a new one. Wipe any control solution off the sides of the glass capillary tube using a lint free tissue. Insert the filled capillary Holder into the reagent cartridge. OK, the dot on the system next to the barcode track. With the barcode facing to the right, scan the Microalbumin creatinine reagent cartridge. Open the reagent cartridge compartment. Insert the reagent cartridge into the cartridge compartment until a gentle snap is heard or felt. Insert the plunger into the capillary Holder in the reagent cartridge. Using a slow, smooth continuous motion, pull the Flexibel pull tab completely out of the reagent cartridge. Close the door and dispose of the Flexibel pull tab. 5 seconds after the door is closed, a beep sounds an the assay begins after the assay is completed. Repeat these steps for the other side of the control card.
