The following parameters are listed for each run: Date and time, run number, patient ID/control ID, operator ID, lot number of Test 

Cartridge and the test result.

TESTING PROCEDURES



  27

When an information code appears

Information codes that might appear during use of the Alere Afinion™ AS100 Analyzer refer to specific information messages.  

The code numbers, the possible causes and actions to take are listed below. 

If the Analyzer detects a problem during processing of a Test Cartridge, the test will automatically be aborted and the Test Cartridge 

will be safely moved to the cartridge chamber. Proceed as follows:

1

Record the code number (#) and touch 

 to accept.

The lid opens automatically.



2

Remove the Test Cartridge.

If the Test Cartridge is not ejected, restart the Analyzer.

- Air bubble in capillary

- Capillary incompletely filled

Repeat the test with a new sample and Test Cartridge. 

Ensure that the capillary is completely filled with no air bubbles.

202


Excess sample on the sampling 

device exterior

Repeat the test with a new sample and Test Cartridge. 

Ensure that only the tip of the capillary is in contact with the sample. 

203

Wrong sample material



Repeat the test with a new sample and Test Cartridge. Ensure that proper sample  

material is used (see Package Insert for the Alere Afinion™ test in use, section  

Specimen collection and storage).

204


Coagulated sample

Repeat the test with a new sample and Test Cartridge. 

The time from filling the capillary until analyzing the Test  

Cartridge should be as short as possible.

Hemolysed blood sample  

(Alere Afinion™ HbA1c)

Consult the Alere Afinion™ HbA1c Package Insert. 

Repeat the test with a new sample and Test Cartridge.

Test Cartridge or Analyzer failure Repeat the test with a new sample and Test Cartridge.
