Calibration Error Log The fields listed below categorize information about a failed calibration.
Multiple errors are shown here for any chemistry failure. The errors should
correlate with any of the asterisked (*) fields listed within the calibration report.
This section of the report appears only when a calibration fails.
• Reagent – Identifies the failed chemistry.
• Lot Number – Identifies the lot number of the reagent which failed
calibration.
• Serial Number (S/N) – Identifies the serial number of the specific cartridge
which failed.
• Cuvette – Identifies the cuvette in which the specific replicate failed.
• Condition – In the event that an error occurs, an asterisk (*) appears next
to the value which is out of specification. The corresponding error flag will
print in this field. Only those errors that FAIL the calibration will print.
• Value – Shows the absorbance value that failed calibrator or reaction limits.
• Magnitude – This is an indication of the severity of the failure. Depending
on the error, the magnitude may reflect the actual value of the error or it
may show the absolute difference between the limit and the actual value.
Likewise, the magnitude may not be applicable to the error which has
occurred. If this is the case, no value will appear under this field.
