Calibration Events
Reagents selected for cartridge-specific calibration should be calibrated using the
same method as that used to calibrate other reagents. The table below presents a set of
varying conditions and their corresponding events.
If…
Then…
a cartridge:
• is designated by a reagent
parameter bar code,
• is loaded on the carousel with
a predetermined, number of
tests remaining
• has a chemistry requested for
calibration,
it may be used to establish a cartridge-specific
calibration.
a calibration is requested,
the status of only the cartridge designated for
cartridge-specific calibration changes to
*
Requested
. All other cartridges of that chemistry
maintain the same calibration status prior to the
request.
additional cartridges of the same
lot with greater than the
predetermined number of
remaining tests are loaded on the
system,
those cartridges maintain the reagent lot
calibration.
the calibration is successfully
completed,
the Cal Status of that cartridge goes to
Calibrated
:
• a new cartridge-specific calibration is applied.
• the reagent lot calibration is no longer
associated with this cartridge
• the cartridge-specific calibration does not affect
any other cartridge with the same lot number.
the calibration fails,
the status of only the *
Requested
cartridge
changes to
Cal Failed
. The Cal Status of all
additional cartridges will not change.
cancellation of the cartridge-
specific calibration request is
desired,
cancel the calibration request. Refer to
Requesting and Canceling Calibration in this
chapter.
reestablishment of cartridge-
specific calibration is desired,
reenable calibration. Refer to Re-Enabling
Calibration in this chapter.
