ITC IRMA TruPoint Blood Analysis System - Manual (Page 21)

1.13
• Auto-Print: Enables automatic printing of results immediately upon
completion of analysis, or delayed auto-printing after sample and/or
oxygen therapy information entry is complete. If this feature is “off”, a
printout can still be obtained via the print key on the touchscreen.
• Bar Code Reader: A bar code reader is available for IRMA TruPoint
analyzers equipped with an accessory port on the back of the analyzer.
Please refer to Section 1-Bar Code Reader for additional bar code reader
information.
• Beeper: When enabled, an audible beep alerts the user that an action is
required or that a message is displayed.
• Correlation: Allows optional entry of slope and intercept values for each
analyte to correlate IRMA TruPoint analyzer results to a reference
method.
• Correlation for Cardiopulmonary Bypass (Pump) Hematocrits:
Allows optional entry of hematocrit slope and intercept values specifically
for samples from patients on cardiopulmonary bypass to correlate IRMA
TruPoint hematocrit results to a reference method.
• Date Format: Date may be displayed in the following formats:
MM/DD/YY; YY/MM/DD; or DD/MM/YY.
• Date and Time: Allows the definition of the correct date and time. The
default analyzer date and time is U.S. Central Standard Time.
• Electronic QC (EQC): Quality control is performed through a
comprehensive diagnostic check of the IRMA TruPoint edge connector,
internal electronics, and analyte circuitry. EQC minimizes the use of
reagents and disposable cartridges required for liquid QC testing. EQC can
be configured to run automatically when the analyzer is powered by the
AC adapter.
• Oxygen Therapy Information: Allows optional entry of patient oxygen
therapy information to be associated with a patient blood gas test record.
• Patient ID: Allows optional or required entry of a patient ID when
performing a patient test. ID lengths (number of characters) may also be
defined.
• Patient Hemoglobin: Allows optional entry of a hemoglobin value, or
use of the calculated tHb value derived from an IRMA TruPoint
hematocrit result for the associated patient, to be used in the BEb
calculation when running a blood gas test.
• Patient Notes: Allows optional entry of up to 3 pre-defined patient notes
to be associated with a patient test record.
