How to calibrate a multi-standard method
1. At the Analytical Parameter (Chemistry) window, in the Standard Setting area, select
Multipoint Cal Setting.
2. When the Multi-Standards Set window opens, verify that all the parameter
information is already pre-defined.
3. If this is not the case, enter method-specific values from the method's parameter
sheet.
NOTE: The parameters for each method are available on the Method Directory. This
directory may already be loaded with the Operator's Guide. From the table of
contents on your left, select Methods, then select Methods Directory.
4. Add the test name to the System Test List window.
5. Add the test to the Process Sequence window.
6. At the Calibration Setup window, select
Setting and enter the multi-standard
calibration information into the Multi Standard Setup window.
7. Select
Return.
8. At the Calibration Setup window, select
Save before continuing.
9. At the Calibration Setup window, select
Ctrl/Cal Setup and define Meas.time and
Container Type.
10. Select
Save.
11. At the Test Select window, select the test.
12. At the Sample Select window, select the calibrators.
Running calibration
• Use the Start Conditions window to request a calibration run. If needed, you can run
the calibration samples followed by controls and patient samples as appropriate. You
can limit calibration to selected calibration samples or to selected methods.
For example, if you want to run only a reagent blank or blank rate, select only the
blank solution.
• The Ordinary calibration meas. list at the Test Select window determines which tests
are available to calibrate. The Sample Select window determines which calibrators
are available.
• Use the ISE Operation window to manually request an ISE calibration for
maintenance or troubleshooting purposes.
• Use the Calibration Setup window to automatically perform calibration after a user-
specified time interval.
• The Auto calibration meas. and Auto calib. control samp. meas. lists on the Test
Select window determine which tests are available for calibration and control,
respectively. The Sample Select window determines which calibrators and controls
are available.
