What action should be taken if the QC test fails?/ What should I do if the QC test fails?

  1. If any QC test is a FAIL, then re-run the QC test for that specific control.
  2. If the second test is a PASS, then procedd to the next step of the QC test procedure. If this re-test was the last step in the process, and all other tests have also been successfully passed, then the NanoDx System is ready for use.
