8. Run the first whole blood sample one time. The reference value,
<VALUE>, and the results of the analysis, <RUN1>, appear on the
WHOLE BLOOD AUTO-CAL, RESULTS FOR SPECIMEN
(N) screen display.
• The Auto-Cal program automatically compares the results of the
first run of each whole blood sample with the Parameter Reference
Values entered for that sample to verify that the difference is within
acceptable limits.
• If the first run passes this internal Reference Check, proceed to step
9.
• If the first run fails the Reference Check for any parameter, the
results are highlighted and the bulletin line displays the message:
THIS RESULT IS OUTSIDE THE ALLOWED LIMITS.
RERUN THIS SPECIMEN
NOTE: Check to be sure the reference values were entered
correctly and the correct sample was run before repeating it.
The specimen may be repeated at this time by pressing [REPEAT
SPECIMEN] followed by [CONFIRM REPEAT]. When the
repeat function is used, all results for the failed run are
automatically deleted.
• If the repeated run also fails the Reference Check, the result(s) are
highlighted and no calibration factor will be calculated for that
parameter.
• If all parameters fail the Reference Check, results of that run are
not displayed and the bulletin line displays the message:
ABANDON CAL FOR SPECIMEN 1 - RESULT NOT
INCLUDED IN MEAN
Repeat the specimen as directed above.
• If all parameters on the repeated run also fail the Reference Check,
discard that sample and continue with the next calibration sample.
If desired, a replacement sample may be added after the remaining
samples have been run.
9. Run each sample for the number of runs entered in
"Entering the Reference
must pass the Reference Check and an additional internal Precision
Check. If a run fails either check, that parameter is highlighted and
no calibration factor will be calculated for the parameter.
Calibration factors will be calculated for the remaining parameters.
