5. If the numbers for any of the four channels fall outside the ranges printed on the
Optics Check Cassette label, the Analyzer will shut down. The Analyzer will be disabled
until another optics check has been run that falls within range. Try running an optics
check with a different Optics Check Cassette. If the numbers are still outside the range,
call Cholestech Technical Service at 800-733-0404.
6. Record the results in the Optics Check Log each day.
1.4 Environmental Requirements
Use your Cholestech LDX System in a location that has:
• Temperature 68–87°F (20 –31° C)
• A stable work surface
• No direct heat (oven or room heater)
• No bright light (sunlight or a spotlight)
If the temperature or light requirements are not acceptable, the Analyzer will shut down
until they are met.
1.5 Laboratory Temperature Records
Forms are included in this manual (see
Master Forms
section) to record the temperature of
the laboratory room and refrigerator. Each form is designed for a daily record to be made.
There is space for the site identification, the acceptable temperature range and daily
temperature records. Record the temperature and your initials in the allocated spaces.
1.6 Instrument History Record
Proper, continuing care for a laboratory instrument has primary importance, as it minimizes
breakdowns and ensures proper results.
The Instrument History Record allows lab personnel to communicate effectively with
Cholestech Technical Service. You should have a record for your Cholestech LDX System as
well as records for any other instruments in the lab.
Several general guidelines are helpful in ensuring satisfactory preventive maintenance:
• Select one person to have principal responsibility for a given instrument.
• Make sure that this person is familiar with the user manual, the procedure manual,
and the package inserts for each test system.
• Perform all required preventive maintenance called for in the Cholestech LDX System
User Manual and keep a record of it. Record the date, type of maintenance done, and
the name or initials of the person doing the maintenance.
• Keep all spare parts recommended by the manufacturer on hand.
