Calibration Procedures
Enter Factor Method
Overview
The Enter Factor Calibration Method is used to enter a predetermined factor to
adjust calibration when a consistent bias exists between the CELL-DYN 3200
System and a comparison analyzer. This method can also be used when calibrating
the secondary mode of the system to the primary mode.
Either Calibrator or Fresh Whole Blood can be used for calibration.
Fresh Whole Blood: Because the same samples will be used to first obtain
reference values on a reference instrument then to calibrate in the Open and Closed
Modes, it is important to begin with a sufficient amount of sample (12 mL each is
recommended).
A set of worksheets is provided in
Manual Calibration Worksheets
at the end of
this section to assist in the calibration process.
NOTE:
Always complete the Pre-Calibration procedures before beginning any
calibration.
