BAR CODE READER
Description
A high performance linear imaging bar code reader is available for use with
IRMA TruPoint analyzers that are equipped with an accessory port. The bar
code reader is connected to the round accessory port located on the back of
the IRMA TruPoint analyzer, next to the RJ45 serial port.
Intended Use
The bar code reader can be used to scan the following information:
• Cartridge information: Cartridge type, lot code, and cal code are all
encoded in a single bar code found on the cartridge package label. The
cartridge package may be scanned with each test instead of manually
selecting Product Type and verifying the information on the Verify
Information screen.
• Glucose test strip information: Lot code and Ctl code are encoded in
separate bar codes found on the SureStepPro test strip bottle. The bottle
label may be scanned with each test instead of manually selecting Product
Type and verifying the information on the Verify Information screen.
• User IDs: User ID bar codes may be scanned, replacing manual entry of
IDs via the touchscreen keyboard.
• Patient IDs: Patient ID bar codes may be scanned, replacing manual entry
of IDs via the touchscreen keyboard.
• QC Expected Values: Expected values for Liquid Quality Control and
Calibration Verification Control materials can be scanned from the
expected values chart, replacing the manual entry of values via the
touchscreen keyboard.
During power-up, the IRMA TruPoint analyzer determines whether or not a
bar code reader is connected to the analyzer, and will display the appropriate
screen prompts. The bar code reader will only be activated on the entry
screens for cartridge information, User ID, Patient ID and QC control settings.
