fluids during the QC procedure), as well as
Any number of dependent cartridge types (i.e. associated cartridge types that
will be enabled by the handheld if the QC requirements for a given cartridge
set are met on that handheld).

six (6) specific QC fluids.
Disabled A Cartridge QC Profile can only be edited or created if QC
