Glossary-2 800 Series Operator's Manual
Auto Send The system setup option that automatically sends patient
or QC sample results to a laboratory information system
(LIS) or data management system.
Backup The Disk Utilities menu option that copies all the
system files to diskettes for storage. Use backup to
prevent loss of data in case of a hard disk failure.
Bar Code Scanner The Troubleshooting menu option that lets you perform
a bar code scanner test, which tests the ability of the bar
code scanner to read a test pattern.
bar code scanner An optical device that enters patient ID and accession
numbers, quality control, and reagent information into
the system by scanning bar code labels.
Barometer The Calibration menu option that lets you enter the true
atmospheric (barometric) pressure to calibrate the
internal atmospheric pressure sensor.
base model The part of the 800 series system that includes the
measurement module, fluidic components, and reagents.
For example, the base model for an 865 is an 860.
biosensor A device that utilizes an active biomolecule, such as an
enzyme, to measure analyte levels in a sample. The
glucose and lactate sensors are biosensors.
calibration The process of testing and adjusting the electronic
signal from a sensor. The 800 systems automatically
perform one-point calibrations and two-point
calibrations at regular intervals for each measured
parameter.
calibration drift The degree of deviation from the last calibration for the
selected parameter.
Calibration Setup The Operating Setup menu option that lets you define
drift limits, enter calibration gas values, and set
calibration frequency and auto repeat options.
Cancel The F-key that discontinues an activity. For example, if
you press Cancel during a calibration, the system stops
calibrating, initiates a wash, and displays the Ready
screen.
Change Sample
Type The F-key that lets you select a sample type for the next
sample you analyze.
