Chapter 6 Calibration
Be certain to retain all necessary documentation in the instrument
logbook.
2. Calibration Limit
If the factor % difference for a particular parameter is greater than
the following value, there may be an instrument problem, as the
value has exceeded the Calibration Limit.
Results GREATER THAN CALIBRATION LIMIT:
WBC >10%
RBC >10%
HGB >10%
MCV >10%
PLT >15%
Check to see if any component that could affect the calibration was
changed as this could cause the factor % difference to exceed the
above limits. For example:
Shear valve RBC/PLT transducer assembly
WBC flow cell RBC/PLT aperture
Syringe(s) Hemoglobin flow cell
If a component was changed, calibrate the instrument as needed
according to the directions in this procedure. If no components
have been changed and the factor % difference exceeds these
limits, DO NOT CALIBRATE; CONFIRM THAT ALL PRE-
CALIBRATION PROCEDURES WERE COMPLETED AND
THEN CALL THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT CENTER FOR
ASSISTANCE AT 1 (800) CELL DYN.
Press [QUIT AUTO-CAL] followed by [CONFIRM QUIT] to
exit Auto-Cal.
Troubleshoot accordingly. Be certain to retain all necessary
documentation in the instrument logbook.
3. Calibration Range
If the factor % difference falls within the following Calibration
Range, calibration is required for that parameter. CALIBRATE
THE OPEN MODE as directed in this procedure, either for all
parameters or specific parameters.
