Calibration
The calibration does not begin automatically but must be initiated by the user. The fill
port of the T&D module is released for input from an external tHb calibrator.
Once the SS2 sensor has detected the solution and the sample container has been
removed, the positioning begins: a separation at the SS3 sensor is made, then the
excess solution is aspirated out through the sample distributor. The calibration
solution is now aspirated through V2 and the hemolyzer through the cuvette with the
main pump. The optical measurement and storage of the cuvette layer thickness is
made here.
Finally the COOX module is washed and dried.
