Chapter 6 Calibration
Performing the Calibration
1. Press [START AUTO-CAL].
The instrument automatically performs three background counts.
The screen displays the message:
PREPARING ANALYZER FOR CALIBRATION,
PLEASE WAIT...
on the bulletin line.
2. If the data from the background counts is acceptable, the displayed
message changes to:
READY TO CALIBRATE. PUSH CONTINUE AUTO-CAL
KEY. START SAMPLES
Proceed to step 7.
3. If the data from the background counts is unacceptable, the
displayed message will alternate between:
BACKGROUND COUNTS EXCEED LIMITS.
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDED
and
READY TO CALIBRATE. PUSH CONTINUE AUTO-CAL
KEY. START SAMPLES
4. Press [QUIT AUTO-CAL] followed by [CONFIRM QUIT] to
exit Auto-Cal.
5. Check the background results and troubleshoot out-of-range
parameters.
6. When the problem has been resolved, return to the
CALIBRATION MENU Screen and press [AUTO-
CALIBRATE] followed by [WHOLE BLOOD] and [START
AUTO-CAL].
NOTE: The information entered in steps 2 and 3 of the
“Entering the Reference Values” section is retained.
7. When background results are acceptable, press [CONTINUE
AUTO-CAL].
8. Place the tubes in a Sample Loader End Rack (use an End Rack so
the Sample Loader will stop when the run is completed) in the
order in which the reference values were entered.
NOTE: If each sample is to be run more than once, leave one
space between the samples in the rack. This prevents over-
mixing of the samples.
