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:
