Biochemistry Analyzer

Index Mode

A calculating feature where you enter the values for each assay upon the prompt for that assay result and print what is entered. The instrument calculates the index result, saves the index result, and includes it in the patient's report.
Test parameters, and standard curves are stored in memory for later recall. The TC 3300 will store up to 102 tests in memory allowing recall for later use; allows for creation of Levey-Jennings plots for QC. In addition, it will store 512 Patient Results, 512 Control Results, 20 Patients on Worklist, and 15 tests per patient.
