5.1 Monitor Results
It is important to verify daily reagent blank, calibration, and control (QC)
results are acceptable before reporting sample results. All results including
reagent blank, calibration, QC, and samples should be reviewed for error flags
and appropriate corrective actions taken before reporting the results. In
addition, the
Alarm List
should be reviewed and appropriate corrective actions
taken for any alarms generated.
Refer to 7.4 Check Results in the AU5800 User's Guide, chapter 7, for more
