X Advanced Calibration
1 Select Calibration Procedure Calibration of the analyzer can be performed in three
dierent ways:
Method 1: The recommended method is to use Boule
calibrator which will automatically calculate the new
calibration factor using target values from assay values.
Method 2: If no calibrator is available, use a sample
with known values or determine target values using
a reference analyzer or microscope method with an
in-house sample.
Method 3: Is to manually calculate and enter in the
calibration factor. This method should only be used with
instruction from an authorized technician.
Parameter OT CV% MPA CV%
RBC ≤ 2.2 ≤ 3.2
MCV ≤ 1.8 ≤ 1.8
PLT ≤ 5.8 ≤ 6.2
MPV ≤ 4.0 ≤ 4.0
HGB ≤ 1.8 ≤ 2.9
WBC ≤ 4.2 ≤ 4.8

RDWa has a default preset calibration factor. If the
parameter is clinically used it is recommended to
calibrate. RDW% is however factory calibrated and
should remain.
Method 1
For this method it is recommended that ve calibration analyses be performed through the open tube
mode.
2 Scan in Calibrator Make sure the Calibrator assay sheet has been entered
and scanned into the instrument before calibration. (If
not, see rst page of section 5, “Quality Control”).
− The scanned in controls can be viewed either in
Main Menu, then QC, and then View Assays or in
the Start Menu under the control prole.
Go to Start Menu and scan in calibrator tube
− Calibrator lot number will automatically be
displayed.
3 Calibrator Analysis Press Start Plate to aspirate calibrator sample.
Analyze the calibrator ve times.
