3  Calibration & QC

This chapter covers calibration and quality control (QC).

Calibration Overview

The CLINITEK  analyzer calibrates automatically before each 
measurement. The analyzer calibrates by reading the white calibration 
bar at the appropriate wavelengths to ensure accurate test results (see 

Figure 3-1

).

Figure 3-1:     Calibration Bar

The calibration bar was tested on a reference spectrophotometer. By 
calibrating the reference spectrophotometer with the National 
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable calibrators, 
Siemens can show traceability to NIST.

Note  

Keep the calibration bar clean to ensure accurate results. For 

details about cleaning the calibration bar, see the next section on 

Cleaning the White Calibration Bar

.

Cleaning the White Calibration Bar

For the CLINITEK  analyzer to perform as intended and provide 
reliable test results, the white calibration bar on the test table needs to 
be clean and not discolored. With normal use, the white calibration bar 
should not become dirty or discolored.

BIOHAZARD

Wear personal protective equipment. Use universal 
precautions. For recommended precautions when you work 
with biohazardous materials, see 

Appendix A, Safety
