Perform the following steps to convert Magnesium results
from mEq/L to mg/dL.
1. Multiply existing values by the conversion factor, 1.215.
2. Edit the following parameters as described in Section 2,
Installation Procedures and Special Requirements of the
AEROSET System Operations Manual. The following
example uses values listed in the Abbott Clinical
Chemistry Magnesium package insert, Commodity
No. 30-3348/R6, March 2004.
3. On the Base page of the Assay Configuration screen, edit
the Units field from mEq/L to mg/dL.
4. Edit control mean values on the
CALIBRATOR/CONTROL screen.
5. Verify all edits are saved.
6. Calibrate the Magnesium and/or Magnesium Urine assays
as appropriate.
7. Run two levels of controls to verify the calibration.
