Calibration Status
Introduction
Calibration status, as well as reagent status, is accessed from the Rgts/Cal Screen.
Calibration status is shown to determine which chemistries require calibration.
Calibration Status
The following messages are used to indicate calibration status.
Table 5.2 Calibration Status Messages
Message Explanation
Requested Indicates that calibration is pending and calibrators have been
identified.
Calibrated Indicates that the chemistry has been calibrated and has not
exceeded its calibration time period.
Cal Required Appears when:
• a new cartridge is loaded.
• a user-defined cartridge is loaded.
• a non-overrideable calibration failure has occurred.
Cal Overridden Operator-initiated; results are based on the failed calibration.
Chem Bypassed Operator-initiated; allows analysis to proceed on all other
chemistries without having to deprogram the bypassed chemistry.
A bypassed chemistry can be recalibrated, but not extended or
overridden.
Cal Failed Indicates that calibrator values for a chemistry have exceeded
calibration acceptance limits.
Cal Timed Out Indicates time remaining has exceeded the recommended
calibration period.
Cal Time
Extended
Operator-initiated; indicates that the recommended calibration
period has been extended. The chemistry must have a valid
current calibration to be extended.
Within-Lot
Pending
Indicates calibration has been requested for another cartridge with
the same lot number. Applies only to chemistries with within-lot
capability.
Disable System-initiated or operator-initiated; allows analysis to proceed
on all other chemistries without having to deprogram the disabled
chemistry. To continue to process a disabled chemistry, the
operator must enable the chemistry. When the disabled status is
removed, the chemistry returns to the current calibration status.
n/a Indicates calibration does not apply.
