1. Setup ABL90 FLEX reference manual

Calibration schedule setup
Press Menu > Utilities > Setup > Calibration schedule to access the
Calibration schedule setup program.
In the program you can do the following:
 Set the time for the first calibration each day. This is only an option, and if the
time is not set, the first calibration will by default start at 00:00 (12
midnight).
 Set the time for tHb calibrations
For more detailed information on calibration, see chapter 6: Calibration in the
ABL90 FLEX operator's manual.
Step Action
1. Highlight the desired calibration on the screen and press Edit.
NOTICE: The Edit button is not available for Built-in QC.
2. Use the arrow buttons to select start time for calibrations and the
interval between each calibration.
As illustrated above, it is possible to link the QC schedule to the calibration
schedule and in this way minimize the number of activities and ensure the most
optimum utilization of the solution pack.
When the QC schedule is linked to the calibration schedule, the built-in QC will
by default run at the following times: 04:00, 12:00 and 20:00 (04 am, 12
midday, 8 pm). If, however, calibration is set to start at a different time than
00:00 (e.g. 00:30), the built-in QC will run correspondingly later.
If the QC schedule is not linked to the calibration schedule, you will have to set
the QC schedule yourself – see further in this chapter.
If the QC schedule is not linked to the calibration schedule, a rinse will be run at
the predefined times instead.
