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: 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
