Precision is how closely repeated measurements
agree with each other. Precision is usually
expressed as standard deviation (SD).
Accuracy is defined as the nearness of a test
result to the true value.
Although good precision suggests good accuracy,
precise results can be inaccurate. The figure
explains these definitions.
In a laboratory using a standard solution of
12.00 mg/L phosphate and a representative lot
of reagents, an operator obtained with a single
instrument a standard deviation of 0.5 mg/L.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
• Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.
• When the LCD displays “717”, it is ready.
• Enter the
calibration mode
by holding CAL CHECK
for three seconds.
• The date of the last calibration appears (e.g.:
month “01”, day “08”). “F.CAL” means that the
factory calibration is selected.
Note
: at this point it is possible to reset the
instrument to restore FACTORY CALIBRATION, see
instructions page 18.
• Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard Cuvet
A
into
the holder and ensure that the notch on the cap is
positioned securely into the groove.
• Press ZERO and “SIP” will blink on the display.
• After a few seconds the display will show “-0.0-”.
The meter is now zeroed and ready for calibration.
• Remove the cuvet.
• Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard HI 95717-11
Cuvet
B
into the holder and ensure that the notch
on the cap is positioned securely into the groove.
Note
:
it is possible to interrupt calibration procedure at any time by pressing ON/OFF.
Warning
: do not validate or calibrate the instrument with standard solutions other than the Hanna CAL
CHECK™ Standards, otherwise erroneous results will be obtained.
