2. From the first DIAGNOSTICS MENU Screen, press [CNT
RATE SUMMARY].
3. Press [WBC CNT RATE] to display the data for the kinetic rate
followed by [PRINT] to obtain a printout.
4. Press [WBC RATE GRAPH] to display the graph of the kinetic
data followed by [PRINT] to obtain a printout.
5. For a list of probable causes and corrective actions, refer to
Table10.3, Sample-Related Fault Conditions.
Troubleshooting Imprecise or Inaccurate Data
1. Obtain a normal fresh whole blood sample. Select an empty QC file
and run a minimum of 10 Open mode runs into the file. Obtain a
printout of the file.
2. Run a minimum of nine Closed mode runs into the same file. (For
the CELL-DYN 3000SL, aliquot a sample into three tubes and run
each tube three times.) Use the [REJECT SPECIMEN] key to
reject the Open mode runs and obtain a printout. This information
can be used to determine if the problem is mode or measurement
related.
3. Compare the CVs of the precision data from a normal fresh whole
blood sample to the CVs of precision data from Table4.7,
Precision of the Hemogram Parameters (N = 20).
4. Obtain printouts of related data as indicated in the following steps.
5. WBC and Differential:
• Configure the RUN Screen to display the following and obtain
printouts by pressing the Print Screen key on the keyboard.
(This requires two printouts per sample.)
