Hello everyone,
Would anyone know what the Hemochron Sig Elite does if someone tries to operate it outside of the manufacturer's temperature ranges 15-30 C (59-86F)?
I'm not seeing in the IFU that it would give errors or anything indicating the device would alert the user.
Thanks so much!

I have experienced a shutdown of the device when "too cold". We are keeping a towel or something to keep the device off the surface of the counter tops in our cath lab.
The instrument doesn't detect the room temperature so to know that they are within the correct operating temperatures they need to monitor the room temp. With each test performed it verifies that it it warmed the cuvette to 37 +/- 1 and if this fails it will give an error.
