Quality Control Guide
The CELL-DYN 3200 System offers several quality control options to monitor and
validate instrument performance while running the Reticulocyte Package. The
options are:
• 6 QC Files Statistical and graphical analysis of the data in each
file to calculate the mean, standard deviation, and
coefficient of variation
• Westgard
®
Rules A multi-rule system applied to the data in each of the
QC files
Each of these options is discussed in detail in Section 11: Quality Control .
All QC data should be reviewed according to your laboratory’s protocol.
Control Material

™
control
material for performing quality control checks on the CELL-DYN 3200 System.
These controls should be run:
• After daily start-up procedures are completed.
• After a reagent lot number change.
• After a service call or component replacement.
• After calibrating the Standard Hematology Mode.
• In accordance with the laboratory’s quality control protocol.
• According to regulatory requirements.
NOTE: Data invalidating alerts, such as Fragile RBC or ERL, are not valid
when running commercial controls.
