QC Procedure 

Using Igloo Reader Pro with QC Calibration Test

Step 1: 

Prepare the QC Cartridge

  • Make sure you have an official QC calibration cassette (purchased separately)
  • Insert the cassette into the designated QC adapter
  • Ensure the cassette is undamaged and not expired


Step 2: 

Power on the Reader

  • Press and hold the round power button located on the bottom side of the Igloo Reader Pro
  • Wait for the screen to fully load to the main menu

Step 3: 

Insert the Adapter into the Reader

  • Place the adapter with the QC cassette into the reader slot
  • Make sure it is fully inserted and properly aligned

 

Step 4: 

Automatic QC Detection

  • The reader will automatically recognize the QC process
  • No manual action is required — the system will start the validation check



Step 5: 

Wait for Result

  • The display will show:

      • ✅ QC successful — validity extended for 12 months
      • ❌ QC failed — repeat test or contact technical support

⚠️ Do not remove the adapter during this step. Removing it will cancel the test.

Step 6: 

Confirm QC Status

  • To verify the QC expiration:

      • Go to Settings → About
      • Check the field: QC valid until [date]
