1.
When using LAB ID: Link the Lab ID with Starrsed Control Sample ID, see chapter Linked QC IDs.
Attach the lab ID label on the tube on top of the original Starrsed Control label
2. Rub the Starrsed Control tube between hands until packed cells have been completely re-suspended.

3. Place tube for at least 15 minutes on a roller mixer or rotator mixer for thoroughly
mixing. Avoid foaming. DO NOT VORTEX.
NOTE:
To ensure consistent and reproducible results, the Control material must be thoroughly mixed and
handled in the same manner each time.
4. Place Starrsed Control tube immediately after mixing into the analyzer.
5. Start the Sample mode. The Starrsed Control sample is processed in the same manner as a patient
sample. Depending on the settings in "QC settings", a request and/or result is sent to the LIMS.
6. Restore tube after each use (at 18°-30°C).
For detailed information see the Starrsed Control Package Insert.
The contents of one tube is sufficient for three Control samples. Do not mix residual material with material
from other tubes. Do not re-use empty tubes.
The software interface is described in the chapter
Starrsed Control should be disposed of as medical waste.
8.2.6 - QC Results
The measured QC results are compared with the Assay mean value and the acceptable range. The applicable
values for the acceptable range depend on the user setting. See chapter "QC Settings" for more information.
If applicable, the QC result is reported to LIMS using the chosen LIMS settings and limit error settings.
8.2.6.1 - QC Error messages
The general ESR errors and warnings are also applied on the QC results, see "
"
When the result is within range, no message is shown.
When the result is out of range an error message is shown in the status line of the Sample screen and the
QC icon is blinking on the Sample screen. When the sample mode is started again by the operator, the
following messages appears:
Last QC result was out of range! Continuing could produce incorrect results! Do you still want to
continue?
Press "Accept" to continue sampling without performing a new QC, press "Cancel" to return and take
appropriate action.
