Protection against infection

• Follow your institution‘s infection control procedures for handling blood specimens.

• There is a potential risk of infection. Healthcare professionals using the cobas b 101 system must be aware that

any object coming into contact with human blood is a potential source of infection. Healthcare professionals

must also be aware that any cross-contamination is a potential source of infection for patients.

Refer to the cobas b 101 system Operator’s Manual and cobas HbA1c or Lipid disc inserts for detailed

information.

Materials

You need the following materials to perform patient and control tests:

• HbA1c disc

• Lipid disc

• cobas HbA1c Control kit

• cobas Lipid Panel Control kit

• HbA1c QC Info disc and Lipid QC Info disc

• Optical Check disc

The cobas b 101 system is intended for professional use in a clinical laboratory setting or at the point of care.

The instrument can be conﬁgured according to your institution’s needs, and features such as requiring an operator ID

may or may not be used.

If so configured, the cobas b 101 system prevents patient testing when controls have not been run

(QC lockout).

QC lockout occurs when

• Patient testing is attempted and controls have not been run in the time interval or frequency designated by your

institution.

• Controls have been run but the control values were outside the permitted range.

Error messages are displayed to alert you to a condition that needs attention. Take the action suggested on the screen,

select

, and proceed with testing.
