The aLF reader provides the possibility to reduce the control burden:

The device daily performs a self-check using physical reference material and, by using an automated reader, misinterpretation of the assay results is avoided by removing subjective interpretation of the test bands. This can help you to reduce the frequency of control sample measurements from a  twice a day to a weekly.

The aLF Reader itself contains an in-built self-check function, which is performed when turning on the instrument. This function checks the measurement performance of the reader and blocks further measurement in case of a failure.

If your system (reader + test) needs to be checked on a regular base depends on the application (in Germany according to RiliBÄK rules).
