AUTO-CALIBRATION
c. The right side of the Calibration screen displays the calibration data in tables.
1) The upper table displays the results of the calibration runs.
2) The lower table displays the calibration statistics.
d. As you review the Calibration screen elements, ensure the trainee understands the
following terms:
N= 1. Number of calibrator runs included in the statistics for the parameter
2. next to a set of results in the accumulated results table indicates that
set of results is included in the statistics.
3. next to a set of results in the accumulated results table indicates that
set of results is not included in the statistics; therefore, N may be less
than the number of results displayed on the table.
Mean 1. Average of the calibrator runs
2. Calculation should include at least 5 runs, but cannot include more than
11 runs
3. The minimum runs required can be selected on the Quality Assurance
setup options screen. The default setting is 5.
4. To view the current Minimum Runs for Automatic Calibration setting,
from the Main Menu click tt tt QA Settings tab.
New Cal Factor 1. Calibration Factor needed to recover the calibrator Target Value
2. Calculated and displayed whether or not you need to change it
Old Cal Factor 1. The current Calibration Factor in use by the Analyzer
2. Remains the current calibration factor until a new factor is saved
% CV 1. Indicates the reproducibility of the calibrator run
2. Checked to ensure valid data is used as you are deciding whether or not
to recalibrate
3. Compared to the preset calibration CV limits displayed on the Quality
Assurance setup options screen
4. To view the current CV limits, from the Main Menu click tt
tt QA Settings tab.
Target Values 1. The assigned value for each parameter
2. Assigned value obtained from the calibrator package insert
