Setting the Identification (ID) Options

The Quo-Test Analyzer allows for operator and patient identification (ID) to be entered 

via the supplied barcode scanner. This feature allows recording of the ID of the person 

who ran the test and the person who was tested in the analyzer memory and on the 

result print-out (if the optional printer is attached). These features can be switched on 

or off. The operator has the option to skip the ID entry when analysing a cartridge if 

the feature is turned on. Having the operator and patient ID stored or printed with the 

test result, will aid identification of the result at a later date.
Barcode lengths up to 18 characters in Code 128, Code 39, NW7/Codabar and 2  

of 5 Interleaved formats are supported. It is strongly recommend that users do not  

use 2 of 5 interleaved as this format carries a risk of character substitution. Attempting  

to scan a barcode in excess of 18 characters will result in the code being shortened  

to 18 digits.

Users must verify that the Patient or 
Operator ID scanned matches the one 
displayed on the Quo-Test.

Press the 

Patient 

and

 Operator

 buttons 

to switch these features on. Press the 

buttons again to switch the features off. 

Finally, press

 to move on to setting
