– Identify the LOT number on the Control sample bottle label.
– Click on the LOT number below.
– Extract (Unzip) the file
– Save the file nominalcontrols.ini on a USB memory for transfer to ISCUSflex using the service code:

‘NOMINAL CL LOAD’

Used for ISCUSflex software Rev L Ver 2.1.0.449 and later.

You may also use a scanner and scan the nominal control levels and the CLIA levels from the preferred specification sheet in the table.
Use the service code USE BARCODE SCANNER YES to activate bar code scanning.
Use the service code NOMINAL CL SCAN to scan the nominal control levels.

N.B. LOT numbers refer to the LOT number on the printed insert and the LOT number printed on the bottle label. The outer package has a label with a different LOT number.

Pyruvate reagent LOT T25967 Restrictions

Pyruvate reagent LOT T25967 is the first lot for the restricted linearity interval 2 – 300 µmol/L. LOT T25967 is tested and approved for this interval, later LOTs will also be tested and approved for this interval until further notice.

Steps to ensure proper handling

  • ISCUSflex software update
    The ISCUSflex software has to be updated for this new linearity interval in order to present appropriate linearity level warnings, e.g. when running calibration verification samples.
    For qualified service Technicians only: A software update for ISCUSflex (Ver. 2.1.0.478) is available here.
  • Auto Controls
    In order to get proper Auto control results, Auto controls with LOT number T26110 or later must be used.
    N.B. It is imperative to update the auto control nominal values (and CLIA limits) in order to get proper results preferably using the scan codes.

Restricted Pyruvate linearity interval (10 - 300 µmol/L)

Starting from LOT T27254 the Low Pyruvate concentration has been raised to meet the new linearity interval. For optimal performance the ISCUSflex software shall be upgraded to version 2.1.0.485.

  • For qualified service Technicians only: A software update for ISCUSflex (Ver. 2.1.0.485) is available here.
