Applicable Usage Methods
4.1 CRP Calibration
4.1.1 Calibration Measurement
Calibrate when you start a new production number (lot) of CRP slides or when calibration has ex-
pired.
WARNING:
As calibrator CP is derived from blood, it should be handled in the same way as a patient sample.
When handling calibrator CP, always follow biohazard procedures (wear gloves, a lab coat, and
safety goggles) in accordance with the sample handling rules of your facility. If you accidentally
touch a sample, immediately rinse the contaminated area thoroughly under running water, and
then disinfect the area. Seek medical assistance if necessary.
IMPORTANT:
Perform the calibration measurement using Unit (A) (mg/dL).
IMPORTANT:
When the calibrator cap is opened, there may be a liquid film on the bottle opening. In this case,
always remove the film before the calibration process.
IMPORTANT:
The cap of the calibrator should not be open more than 5 minutes during a single calibration.
IMPORTANT:
Use a calibrator 10 times or less, even during its validity term.
IMPORTANT:
If the date and time are not adjusted correctly, the analyzer may fail to determine the expiration of
the slides and calibration, and measurement results might be incorrect.
NOTE
When performing calibration measurements, the analyzer automatically dilutes the calibrator.
NOTE
Let CRP diluent and calibrator stand until they reach room temperature before use.
