PROGRAMME D'AUTORISATION DESTINÉ À MINIMISER L'UTILISATION D'ACCESSOIRES JETABLES POUR DISPOSITIF MÉDICAL NON AUTORISÉS SUR UN INSTRUMENT DE TYPE DISPOSITIF MÉDICAL
Systems, methods, apparatus, and computer readable media are provided for disposable component authentication with respect to a biological fluid processing device instrument. An example instrument authentication system includes a computer facilitating configuration and operation of the biological fluid processing instrument using a disposable component. A first interface is provided by the computer and is used by a service technician to configure the biological fluid processing instrument for a number of disposable components and to provide a service technician with a validation code. A key generator is to accept the validation code from the service technician and generate an authentication key in response to the entered validation code. A second interface is provided by the computer, the second interface prompting the service technician to enter an authentication key, wherein the authentication key authorizes use of a certain number of disposable components for the biological fluid processing instrument.
