6-8 Maintenance & Service
5. If the blank results are expired and this screen appears, select
OK
to run a blank. If the screen does not appear, you MUST run a
new blank anyway. Select
Run
, and then
Blank
.
6. When the blank has run, verify that the results are acceptable
(shown in black) or unacceptable (shown in red, with + or *
signs, indicating too high).
7. If acceptable, select Accept. The analyzer is now ready to run
Quality Control. If not, proceed to
“Blank Flags” on page 9-2
.
8. Run Quality Control using a new, unopened HM5 normal con-
trol. For detailed instructions go to
“Quality Control” on
page 5-2
. If any warning message pops up, contact Abaxis Tech-
nical Support.
9. If two out of three Quality Control runs are within target range, the analyzer is ready to run
blood work. If two out of three runs fall out of target range or have any error warnings, call
Abaxis Technical Support at (844) 247-5271.
6.2 Automatic Self-Cleaning
After each measurement, the analyzer automatically cleans the measurement area. The software also
provides
a process to clear the measurement system of any debris
when needed:
when the blank is high for platelets or RBC
to correct p, b, c, or C warnings after other cleaning procedures have failed
following other cleaning procedures, such as Soak Cleaning, to ensure the aperture is
clean
No additional cleaning solution is needed for this process: the HM5 uses the Cleaner and Rinse from
the reagent pack.
