QC Error messages

The general ESR errors and warnings are also applied on the QC results, see "ESR Error and Warning code messages"

When the result is within range, no message is shown.

When the result is out of range an error message is shown in the status line of the Sample screen and the QC icon is blinking on the Sample screen. When the sample mode is started again by the operator, the following messages appears:
Last QC result was out of range! Continuing could produce incorrect results! Do you still want to continue?
Press "Accept" to continue sampling without performing a new QC, press "Cancel" to return and take appropriate action.
