Art: 714364-01O Rev. Date: 26-Feb-16 2-13Customization Analyzers can be customized for site-specific testing characteristics andrequirements. A complete list of customizable parameters and their default valuescan be found in the Customization section. An analyzer can be customized via thekeypad or via the Central Data Station. Items that cannot be customized via theanalyzer’s keypad are operator lists, test strip lists, reference and action ranges,sample types and order of items on the Chart page.The Central Data Station’s Customization function can be used to create onecustomization profile for all analyzers or different profiles for different locations.When the Customization function is enabled, the profiles are transmitted to theanalyzers when they are placed in a Downloader.Caution: If location specific customization profiles are created, analyzers shouldnot be moved from one location to another unless they are re-customized forthe new location. This is especially important if “CPB: Automatically Adjust” or“CPB: Do Not Adjust” is included in a location-based customization profile. TheCPB function adjusts hematocrit and hemoglobin results for the dilutional affect ofpump fluid during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. If an analyzer customized forthe CVOR as “CPB: Automatically Adjust” is used for patients who are not on thepump, hematocrit results will be reported falsely high. If an analyzer customizedas “CPB: Do Not Adjust” is used for patients who are on the pump, hematocritresults will be reported falsely low. For details on the CPB function, see the Theorysection of this manual.It is recommended that only one method, the Central Data Station or the keypad,be used to customize all analyzers within a site. If both methods are in use, and theCustomization function is not disabled on the Central Data Station, any changesmade to the profile of an analyzer via the keypad will be overwritten the next timethe analyzer is placed in a Downloader.The customization profile of an analyzer is identified in the Customization optionunder the Administration Menu on the analyzer. DEFAULT0 indicates that theanalyzer has factory settings. When an analyzer has been customized via theCentral Data Station (CDS), the name assigned to the profile by the CDS is listed.If the default or CDS profile is changed on the analyzer, the profile is listed as00000000.
