Creating QC Definitions on the Atellica® Solution Job Aid Version 1.26 and Above
This job aid provides instructions on how to create QC definitions on the Atellica® Solution, including creating the definitions manually and scanning QC definition barcodes.
Creating QC Definitions on the Atellica® Solution Job Aid SIEMENS Healthineers QC Definitions QC levels can be combined into a single definition, which allows QC to be treated as a group instead of individual levels A. Parent Lot – Overall lot for the control material, including all levels B. Each level is assigned an individual Control Lot This allows for: • A QC definition for a new lot of QC can use the same material name as was used for the old lot, with a new Parent Lot QC > QC Definitions 8 H1-SCI1 LabManager NOTE: Kitted controls that require the checksum value, such as for EHIV, must be Edit QC Definition ? × defined one control per definition to accommodate for the checksum.
