Recalibrating BG/ISE and drying tHb/SO

or COOX
To recalibrate BG and ISE the main pump first aspirates a mixture of air (from a
reservoir between sample distributor and measuring chamber cartridge) and Mix1
through the measuring chambers. When this has sufficiently washed them, the
measuring chambers are filled with Mix1 by shutting off the air feed.
This filling is assessed by conductivity measurement: with liquid solution a stable and
plausible value must be measured between MCI and MCO.
Then the inlet valve is closed and reference solution is aspirated through valves V5 or
V9 until a clear increase in conductivity between MCI and MCO can be detected.
