AUTO-CAL].
8.
Prepare the calibrator for use according to the directions given in
the package insert. Be certain to carefully read and follow
directions given for warming and mixing.
9.
Run the calibrator one time. The reference value, <VALUE> and
the results of the analysis, <RUN1> appear on the
AUTO-CAL, RESULTS FOR SPECIMEN (N)
•
The Auto-Cal program automatically compares the results of the
first run of the Calibrator with the parameter reference values
entered for that sample to verify that the difference is within
acceptable limits.
•
If the first run passes this internal Reference Check, proceed to step
10.
•
If the first run fails the Reference Check for any parameter, the
results are highlighted and the bulletin line displays the message:
THIS RESULT IS OUTSIDE THE ALLOWED LIMITS.
REPEAT THIS SPECIMEN
•
The run may be repeated at this time by pressing [REPEAT
SPECIMEN] followed by [CONFIRM REPEAT]. When the
repeat function is used, all results for the failed run are
automatically deleted.
•
If the repeated run also fails the Reference Check, the result(s) are
highlighted and no calibration factor will be calculated for that
parameter.
•
If all parameters fail the Reference Check, results of that run are
not displayed and the bulletin line displays the message:
ABANDON CAL FOR SPECIMEN 1 - RESULT NOT
INCLUDED IN MEAN
•
Repeat the run as directed above.
•
If all parameters on the repeated run also fail the Reference Check,
confirm that the reference values were entered correctly. If the
reference values are correct, discard the calibrator vial. Obtain a
new vial (be sure that it is properly warmed and mixed) and repeat
the procedure. If all parameters fail again, call the Customer
Support Center for assistance at 1 (800) CELL DYN.
