Operating the System
Scanning the Reagent Cartridge
Before a lot of Reagent Cartridges can be used on the system, the Calibration
Card for the lot must be scanned. If a Reagent Cartridge is scanned on the
Home screen and there is no Calibration Data for the lot of Reagent
Cartridges, you must scan in the Calibration Data. Scanning the Calibration
Card enters information about the Reagent Cartridge Lot into the system. This
screen has a 10-second time-out. Refer to Running a Control Test‚ page 90 for
more information.

CAUTION
If you have stored the reagent cartridge in a refrigerator, bring the
reagent cartridge to room temperature before starting a test. Refer to
the specific product insert for more information.
