Analyzer Self-Tests
When you first turn on the analyzer, you will hear a beep and see the startup and
self-test messages.
The analyzer performs a series of self-tests. The LeadCare II self-test is a set of
internal electrical and software checks that ensure the proper operation of the
system's electronic components. The purpose of the tests is to ensure that each
critical hardware component of the system is operating at the correct level. If any
one component of the system fails this initial self-test, the user is warned that the
unit requires service and the user is prevented from running any patient samples.
The first time you turn on the analyzer, the screen reads:
PLEASE CALIBRATE
