Sample Select Window; Calibration Setup Window - Siemens ADVIA 1800 Operator's Manual

Sample Select window*

Use this window to select the samples for control sample analysis and calibrations, and to
temporarily disable a sample so that the rest of a run can proceed.
For example, if you only want to run ISE calibration on serum samples, disable the ISE
calibration urine samples. The run proceeds normally, but it does not include urine
samples.
Perform any of the following tasks at this window:
• select samples available for control analysis calibration
• print the settings
• clear the settings

Calibration Setup window*

Use the Calibration Setup window to enter the information required to calibrate each
photometric test.
You can request automatic recalibration for each test whenever a new reagent container is
loaded or after a user-specified time interval. When a time interval expires, the system
recalibrates at the start of the next run.
NOTE: You can run tests with 2 different lots of the same reagent but you cannot calibrate
the 2 lots on the system at the same time. You have to calibrate them one at a time. After
the system calibrates the lots separately, you can place both reagents back on the system
and run tests.
Perform any of the following tasks at this window:
• enter absolute or single-point (STD) calibration methods
• enter multi-standard calibration methods
• print the calibration setup information
• delete the calibration setup information
• configure the automatic calibration feature
