Calibration Procedures
4. Run the same Calibrator or Fresh Whole Blood sample 5 times. After each
run, observe the values displayed on the
RUN
screen for those parameters that
were calibrated and that now need confirmation. When the runs are complete,
print the appropriate QC file and transfer the mean value onto Worksheet #7.
5. Follow the instructions on this worksheet for comparing the mean value
against the reference value.
6. If the difference between the mean and reference (assay) value is within the
stated tolerance limits, then calibration has been confirmed for that
parameter. Go to step 8 below.
NOTE:
Calibration of the open mode may also be confirmed by running
commercial controls.
7. If a parameter mean is outside the tolerance limits, perform steps 4 and 5
again. If the mean is still outside the tolerance limits, call the Abbott
Hematology Customer Support Center for assistance (at 1-800-CELL-DYN
in the U.S.).
8. When Open Mode calibration has been confirmed, do one of the following:
a. If Closed Mode has not yet been calibrated, go to subsection
