Post Calibration Procedure
Quality Control
Confirm calibration changes by running all levels of controls into the appropriate
QC files. If any parameters fall outside the limits, proceed as follows:
1. Obtain new vials of the controls.
2. Warm and mix them properly and again run them into the appropriate QC
files.
If parameters still exceed the limits, proceed as follows:
1. Collect all the calibration documentation including the Pre-Calibration
worksheets. (Be certain you have recorded lot numbers where indicated.)
2. Call the Customer Support Center for assistance
(at 1-800-CELL-DYN in the U.S.).
NOTE: Inform the Customer Support Specialist if a reagent and/or lot
number of reagent was changed just prior to the calibration
procedure.
3. Include documentation as to the resolution of the problem in the instrument
logbook.
Calibration Backup
The current calibration factors should be saved on the CELL-DYN 3200 Set-Up
Disk #1whenever calibration is changed. Data should also be saved whenever any
Set-Up information is changed and after any service work is performed. The back-
up procedure copies the following Set-Up information from the Data Module to
Set-Up Disk #1:
• Calibration Factors
• Retic QC
• Patient Limits
• Analyzer Module Set Points (e.g., gains, dilution factors [internal calibration
factors], thresholds, pressure/vacuum settings)
• Units Selection
To back-up the calibration factors, proceed as follows:
1. With the MAIN MENU screen displayed, press the F12 key, then the F8 key.
The following message displays:
