Once you have created your Control Programmes and captured your lot Control Parameters, you will perform your Calibration. You will be able to capture your Control results after having performed a control on the Instrument itself.

• Performed On: System generated date (today). It is important to capture your Control results on the day the Control was done
• Branch: The Branch where the Control is being done
• Department: The Department at the Branch where the Control is being done. If you cannot find the Department, ensure the Branch is configured to have the Department activated.
• Instrument: The Instrument that had the Control run. If you cannot find the Instrument visit the Branch configuration and ensure the Instrument was added to the Department at the Branch.
• Control Programme: The Control Programme that was run on the instrument. If you cannot find the Control Programme, visit the Control Programme screen and ensure you have selected the Department and Instrument for this Control Programme.
• Lot Number: This will automatically populate based on which lot is Active for the Control Programme. Validate your Control results and ensure this number is correct. If it is not, you need to capture the Control Parameter lot.
