Requesting and Canceling Calibration
Introduction
• Reagent and calibrator bar code parameters must be loaded prior to requesting a
calibration. (Refer to Reagents, Loading Reagent/Calibrator Bar Coded Parameters
in this chapter.)
• Calibration must be requested for a reagent lot which has a status of
Uncalibrated
before patient samples can be run with that reagent lot.
• Calibration may be requested regardless of the current calibration status for any
reagent lot.
• If the calibration status is
Cal Failed
, request either a new calibration or Cal Re-
enable. (Refer to Re-Enabling Calibration in this section.)
Requesting Calibration
Follow the steps below to request calibration.
Step
Action
1
Select
Rgts/Cal
from the menu bar.
2
Load the reagent cartridges if necessary.
(Refer to Reagents, Loading/Unloading Reagent Cartridges, in this
chapter.)
3
Select the button(s) to the left of the chemistries to be calibrated. If
selecting a chemistry where more than one cartridge of the same lot
number is on the reagent carousel:
• each cartridge of that lot is automatically given a status of
Requested
.
• only the cartridge with the lowest volume will be calibrated
4
Select
Request Cal [F4]
.
• The Request Calibration screen is displayed. (Refer to Figure 6.10.)
• Requested Chems appear next to the appropriate Calibrator for the
chemistry.
5
To run a calibrator as a STAT, select the STAT checkbox for the calibrator
at the right of the screen.
• ALL chemistries requested for a STAT calibrator will be calibrated
STAT.
• A STAT calibrator will be run before any other calibrator or sample.
6
Go to Checking and Clearing Racks.
