system-generated parameters, and to flag or identify patient results that
require additional studies.
z Store and use the reagents as instructed by instructions for use of the
reagents
z When you have changed the diluent, rinse or lyse, run a background to
ensure that the system is primed immediately prior to running any samples.
z Pay attention to and record the expiration date and open-container stability
of all the reagents. Be sure not to use expired reagents
z Keep the reagents still for a while before using them.

days of all the reagents. Be sure not to use expired reagents
z For any reagent, the entered expiration date should be either the expiration
date printed on the labeling or the open-container expiration date, whichever
is earlier. The open-container expiration date is calculated as follows: the
date that container is opened + the open-container stability days.
