Calibrating a UDR Chemistry
Introduction
A UDR can be calibrated by using a multi-point calibration. Subsequently, this
calibration may be updated using a single-point update calibration. The UDR
chemistry calibration, using a multi-point calibration or single-point update, requires
that the protocol definition be completed and the chemistry name configured. The
calibration is programmed from the User-Defined Chemistries screen shown in Figure
5.28. The calibrators are run as routine test samples using the defined protocol. A
UDR calibration must be on a separate run from samples for that UDR chemistry. The
instrument response (IR) for each calibrator replicate is generated.
Once the calibration is approved, the UDR cal status is in
Calibrated
and UDR
chemistries can be run with other Beckman Coulter chemistries. Using the UDR
calibration data, the system will calculate a final result in the concentration units
selected in the protocol.
Programming a UDR Calibration
The instrument status must be in
Standby
in order to proceed with the steps below to
program a UDR calibration.
Step
Action
1
From the User-Defined Chemistries screen, select
Request Cal [F4]
. The
UDR chemistries on the reagent carousel will be displayed. (Refer to
Figure 5.41.)
2
Select up to six UDR chemistries for calibration.
3
Select
<OK>
to continue.
OR
Select
<Cancel>
to return to the User-Defined Chemistries screen.
4
From the UDR Cal Assign screen, enter an
available
rack number in the
Rack
field. (Refer to Figure 5.42.)
OR
Select
Clear Racks [F1]
and enter the racks and/or positions to clear.
Select
<OK>
to clear or
<Cancel>
to exit without clearing.
5
After a rack number is entered, the position numbers will automatically fill
in the
Pos
field according to the levels defined for the chemistry displayed.
The calibrators must be programmed in ascending concentration, with
Level 1 being the lowest concentration.
6
Enter a Cal ID in the
Cal ID
field (optional). Up to 18 characters may be
entered.
