Validation, AutoQ, and System Wellness
System Wellness and Predictive Performance for IC Devices (Overview)

What are System Wellness and Predictive Performance?

System Wellness monitors the overall "health" of a chromatographic system. It provides built-in diagnostic and calibration features that help prevent unscheduled system shutdowns and assure reliable operation of system devices.

Predictive Performance provides various functions for estimating the lifetime of replaceable parts, and for monitoring and recording service and qualification information.

System Wellness and Predictive Performance commands are available on special panels and in the Commands dialog box.

System Wellness Features

• Download of current, previous, or factory calibration data

• Leak detector testing and calibration

• Wavelength verification and calibration for UV and PDA detectors

• Cell calibration for conductivity detectors

• pH calibration for amperometry detectors

• Warning when the flow is off while the detector lamp is on

• Pressure offset and degas calibration for pumps

• Flow rate calibration for pumps

• Solvent and waste level monitoring

Predictive Performance Features

• Lifetime forecast for replaceable parts

• Integrated counters for monitoring several devices and module parameters

• Reminder function for maintaining service and qualification periods

• Warning messages when limits are exceeded

• Graphical display for monitoring the service and qualification status

• Storage of parameter data in the device firmware

Supported Devices

For System Wellness and Predictive Performance support, a device must have a version of Moduleware installed that supports these features.
