CALIBRATORS MENU
Calibrator parameters settings as well as calibrator files handling can be carried out from the
Calibrators
Menu
. There is also a shortcut to parameters setting from the icon
Calibrators Parameters
(Figure 9-1)
Figure 9-1
Settings
Calibrator parameters are set on the
Settings
submenu. This operation is unavailable while processing
patients, calibrators and/or controls.
Press
Settings
on the
Calibrators Menu
or the
Calibrators Parameters
shortcut icon. The configuration
screen will then be displayed (Figure 9-2) and the Name, Brand, Lot and Expiration date (dd/mm/yyyy) for
the calibrator is entered. Press
Add
to add the calibrator.
NOTE: Do not enter a name too big. Software will cut the name.
Once the calibrator has been entered, concentration values for each analyte have to be programmed. In
order to do this, select the calibrator in the column:
Calibrator
; select the method in the column
Method
and select the concentration fields in the column
Conc
. Type the concentration value assigned to the
calibrator for the analyte and press
Enter
from the keyboard.
To the right of the Concentration value, a number for repetitions can be added, in the column
Repetitions
(for example, if you write “1” in the repetition column, that method of that calibrator will be processed twice,
an average of those results will be used later in the calibration curve)
Finally, select in the column
Point
the related calibration curve point. When the method has different
calibration points with different concentrations, a calibrator must be configured for each point. Press
OK
to
save the data previously entered.
Warning: Calibrator concentration values entered for each method must be expressed in the same
units used in the method configuration to express the results.
