Quality Control
When the HemoCue WBC DIFF Analyzer is started, a quality
control (self-test) is automatically performed to verify perfor-
mance. If the test fails, an error code will be displayed.
For each measurement, quality controls are made on:
• The HemoCue WBC DIFF Analyzer.
• The HemoCue WBC DIFF Microcuvettes or WBC Microcu-
vettes.
• The sample.
• The handling of microcuvettes and sample.
No additional quality controls performed by the operator are
required for functionality verification.
