Calibration
Revised July 2012
10. Calibration
Calibration is performed to compensate for any inaccuracies of the
pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric systems which will affect analysis
results. This is very important in maintaining the system accuracy.
Calibration is carried out by entering calibration values into the
instrument.
Your Sysmex service representative will perform initial calibration
of your unit at installation. After installation, the operator should
make periodical calibration and proper quality control to maintain
the accuracy.
This chapter describes the calibration procedure.
Calibration verification needs to be performed in
specified intervals, but when quality control data
varies with time, HGB and HCT should be calibrated.
When abnormal quality control data occur as a result
of instrument problem, reagent degradation, or
deterioration of control blood, however, do not perform
calibration.
