9. Press the Start key on the Sample Loader. The Sample Loader will
automatically run each sample for the indicated number of runs.
10. When all runs of a sample have been completed, the bulletin line
displays the message:
NEW CAL FACTOR COMPUTED. READY FOR NEXT CAL
SPECIMEN
The Sample Loader automatically advances to the next sample.
11. As the samples are processed, the reference value <VALUE> and
the results of the analysis (<RUN1>, <RUN2>, etc.) appear on the
WHOLE BLOOD AUTO-CAL, RESULTS FOR SPECIMEN
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 fails this internal reference check for any
parameter, the results are highlighted and will be excluded
from the calculation of the calibration factor.
• If all parameters fail the reference check, results of that run are
highlighted and excluded from the calculation of the
calibration factor. The bulletin line displays the message:
ABANDON CAL FOR SPECIMEN 1 - RESULT NOT
INCLUDED IN MEAN
NOTE: In the event of a reference check failure, the Sample
Loader will continue to process samples. If desired, a
replacement sample may be added after the remaining samples
have been run.
12. Subsequent runs of each sample must pass the reference check and
an additional internal precision check. If a run fails either check,
the parameter is highlighted and no calibration factor will be
calculated for the parameter. Calibration factors will be calculated
for the remaining parameters. Calibration must be repeated for the
highlighted parameter.
