Note:
• The Gluc Strip User privilege is available for users that have purchased
the SureStep®Pro Glucose Module, an optional side attachment to the
IRMA TruPoint analyzer. Refer to the SureStep®Pro Glucose Module
User Manual for details.
• The General User privilege allows both IRMA TruPoint cartridge and
glucose strip testing (if glucose module is present).
SYSTEM SETUP
Prior to initial testing, complete the following activities:
• Identify QA User(s) to supervise IRMA TruPoint setup and monitoring.
• Use the factory default QA User ID “123456” to access the USER ID
SETTINGS menu. New QA User ID(s) may be added, and the default QA
User ID deleted if desired.
• Review the factory default analyzer settings in Appendix E, and make any
necessary adjustments. Refer to Section 7-System Settings for instructions
on changing default settings.
• Perform an EQC test (Section 3-Performing an EQC Test). When the test
is complete, access the barometer setting, and check the reading against
the barometer in your facility. If necessary, change the barometric pressure
value in the analyzer (Section 7-Calibrate Barometer).
Note:
• The IRMA TruPoint barometer was calibrated at the factory, and should
read within ± 5 mmHg of a NIST-calibrated barometer. Use of a non-
NIST-calibrated barometer to adjust the IRMA TruPoint barometer
reading is not recommended.
• Enter appropriate User IDs if the User ID feature is enabled.
• Establish quality control procedures and set-up liquid controls (control
type, lot, level, and limits).
SYSTEM FEATURES
The IRMA TruPoint analyzer provides many optional software features that
can be activated from the main MENU via the Settings Option. The following
is a summary of these features. Please refer to Section 7-System Settings for
additional detailed information.
