Calibration Status
Each cartridge with a cartridge-specific calibration will have its own calibration
values. There can be only one cartridge-specific calibration per cartridge. Any time
the same cartridge is recalibrated for cartridge-specific use, the previous cartridge-
specific calibration (for that cartridge) will be overwritten. Follow the steps below to
access the Calibration Information screen that summarizes calibration status.
If…
Then…
more than one cartridge on carousel
has less than the predetermined
number of tests remaining,
the system uses the cartridge with the least
number of tests remaining.
two or more cartridges, with the same
number of tests remaining, are on the
system at the same time,
the system uses the cartridge loaded at the
lowest carousel position.
all the cartridge-specific calibration
criteria are met when a calibration is
requested,
the system automatically runs a cartridge-
specific calibration on the appropriate
cartridge.

1
From the Reagent Status/Calibration Status screen, select the options

beside Cal ID for the desired chemistry.
2
View the Calibration Information dialog box for the desired information.
If...
Then...
recalibration is requested for a
chemistry, and one of the
cartridges meets the cartridge-
specific calibration criteria,
calibration status is *
Requested
for
that cartridge only.
a newly loaded cartridge has
the same lot number as a
cartridge with previous
cartridge-specific calibration,
the reagent lot calibration (not
cartridge-specific) applies to the
new cartridge.
Calibration status is the same as the
reagent lot calibration status prior to
loading the new cartridge.
the lot number of the reagent is
new to the system,
calibration status is
Uncalibrated
for all cartridges of that lot on the
system.
