4.2 Calibrator Cartridge and Control Cartridge Changing
The reagent calibrator and/or control cartridge should be
changed when the system indicates the cartridge is empty.
From the Home screen, press the Tool Box icon. Then press
Change Calibrator Cartridge or Change Control Cartridge.
Mix the cartridge thoroughly by gentile inversions. Then follow the
directions on the screen to replace the cartridges and the
capillary adapter.
WARNING: When the calibrator cartridge or control
cartridge is removed, keep your fingers and
hands away from the back of the cartridge
compartment. There are sharp needles that
can cause injury, and the waste needle is also
a biohazard.
NOTE:
The calibrator or the control cartridge must be
replaced through the Tool Box screens. If you
remove and replace a cartridge (even if it is the
same one) outside these screens, you will not be
able to prime the analyzer, and you will not be
able to calibrate or to analyze samples (Calibrator
Cartridge) or to analyze internal controls (Control
Cartridge). If you have removed and replaced
a cartridge outside these screens, go to the
appropriate screen and press Prime.
