Viewing result records
The patient and control results are stored in the memory of the Afinion™ AS100 Analyzer.The last 500
patient results and the last 500 control results are saved in separate records.When exceeding the capacity
of 500 results, the oldest result will be deleted.
The following parameters are listed for each run: Date and time, run number, patient ID/control ID, operator
ID, lot numbers of Test Cartridge and Test Result.
If a printer is connected, the test results can be printed one by one.
