VIDAS® QCV reference 30706

INTERPRETATION OF QCV TEST:

• Check the TV1 value and R3 value for each position.

• TV1 must be > = the value indicatedon the kit label.

IN CASE OF OUT OF RANGE RESULTS

• For TV1: If the result of a particular position is outside the range, two new VIDAS QCV tests must be run successively in all the positions in the section concerned. If at least one other non-compliant result is produced in the same section, independent of the position: PUT THE SECTION OFFLINE and Call bioMérieux Technical Support.

• For R3: If the result of a particular position is outside the range: PUT THE SECTION OFFLINE and Call bioMérieux Technical Support.

Quality Control VIDAS® (QCV) is used to detect abnormal operation of pipette mechanisms which may aff ect the results of biological tests.It is also intended for checking that the optical system is capable of measuring high fl uorescence levels. QCV test must be run in EVERY position. Place SPR® and strips in each position of

each section.
