Operating IMMAGE 800 in Japanese Overview Introduction There are several features available when the IMMAGE 800 is enabled in the Japanese language. These features are: • Keyboard entry mode selection in English or Japanese (Romaji) by use of a Japanese keyboard.
Computer The Japanese Keyboard Figure 7.25 depicts the IBM Japanese terminology translation keyboard used with the IMMAGE 800. The function of the normal keyboard keys (For example, [Esc], [Page Up/Down], [Delete], [Tab]) remain the same. E015150L.EPS 1. One Byte (Half-width)/Two Byte (Full-width) 4.

Display Language Data Storage/Retrieval Data Storage/Retrieval The IMMAGE 800 system has the capability of retrieving samples and results by patient names, in Japanese. Data entered in Japanese is stored and retrieved in the Japanese language mode. Databases stored/archived in Japanese are not displayable with Japanese characters in other languages.
Japanese Character Transfer Special provisions are necessary to accommodate the transfer of Japanese characters over the customer communication network. The baseline IMMAGE 800 host communication protocol uses the specifications of ASTM E1381-91. The optimal use of escape delimiters is implemented to allow sending and receiving of Japanese characters.

• Print Control Recommended QC and Analysis Intervals Beckman Coulter recommends that at least two levels of control material be analyzed daily. In addition, these controls should be run with each new calibration, with each new lot of reagent, and run after specific maintenance or troubleshooting, as detailed in CHAPTER 10, Utilities.
Results are flagged at time of run. Flagging is not changed if the operator modifies the assigned mean and/or SD. If the operator chooses to use a QC program other than the IMMAGE 800 QC program, assigning a mean of "0" and an SD of "99999" for a chemistry prevents additional flagging of the results in the IMMAGE 800 QC database and on the IMMAGE 800 screen.
