Using the QC Programs

z Samples, controls, calibrators and waste are potentially infectious. Wear
proper personal protective equipment (e.g. gloves, lab coat, etc.) and follow
safe laboratory procedures when handling them in the laboratory.
z The sample probe tip is sharp and may contain biohazardous materials.
Exercise caution to avoid contact with the probe when working around it.
z Do not re-use such disposable product as collection tubes, test tubes,
capillary tubes, etc.
z When switching from the Predilute mode to the Whole Blood mode, the
analyzer will automatically flush the fluidic system.
z Be sure to keep the sample probe tip away from the tube bottom, otherwise
the aspiration volume may be inaccurate.
z When the aspiration is done, remove the sample tube only when the sample
probe is out of the tube.
Running the controls
1. Be sure the System Status area displays “Ready“ and Count Mode area displays
“Whole“;
2. Present a vial of control to the sample probe so that the tip is well into the vial, and press
the aspirate key. The System Status area will display “Running” and the analyzer will
start aspirating sample;
3. When you hear the beep and the sample probe is out of the vial, remove the control vial.
The sample probe will retract into the analyzer and the analysis progress will be
displayed on the screen;
4. When the analysis is finished, the sample probe is replaced, the analysis result is
displayed on the screen, and a message box pops up to confirm the validity of the
analysis results, as Figure8-39 shows;
