SECTION 6. CALIBRATION
Calibration
The analyzer has been calibrated by Boule prior to shipment. Good laboratory practice, however,
requires regular checks and calibration of the measured parameters. Only authorized operators can
update or change calibration factors. See Chapter 7 for User Login and Advanced User.
Calibrator Handling Recommendations
Handle and prepare calibrator in accordance to calibrator package insert.
Never use an open vial longer than recommended by the manufacturer, past the expiration
date, or subject any vial to excessive heat or agitation.
As there are no assurances of the absence of HIV, Hepatitis B or C viruses or other infectious
agents in blood samples, controls, and calibrators these products should be handled as
potentially biohazardous. Refer to local regulations and established laboratory protocol for
handling biohazardous materials.
Wipe the aspiration probe with a clean, dry lint free absorbent cloth before each calibrator run.
Not following this technique will impact the accuracy.
Before Calibration
Verify that analyzer maintenance/cleaning is current. (See section 10.)
The operator should be thoroughly familiar with the analyzer and the calibration procedure
before performing calibration.
An Advanced Login is required to perform any type of calibration (Guided and Advanced).
Enter New Calibrator Lot
Follow instructions for Enter New Control Lot, except use calibrator. (See section 5.)
