Post-Calibration Procedures

If calibration was changed, complete the procedures in this section.
Confirm calibration changes by running all levels of commercial controls
into the appropriate QC Files. If any parameters exceed the limits,
proceed as follows:
1. Obtain new vials of the controls.
2. Warm and mix them per package insert and again run them into the
appropriate QC files.
If parameters still exceed the limits, proceed as follows:
1. Collect all the calibration documentation including the
pre-calibration worksheets. (Be certain you have recorded
lot numbers where indicated.)
2. Call the Customer Support Center for assistance at
1 (800) CELL DYN.
NOTE: Inform the Customer Support Specialist if a reagent
and/or lot number of reagent was changed just prior to the
calibration procedure.
3. Include documentation as to the resolution of the problem in the
instrument logbook.
The current calibration factors should be saved on the CELL-DYN 3000
Set-Up Disk whenever calibration is changed. Data should also be saved
whenever any Set-Up information is changed and after any service work
is performed. The backup procedure copies the following Set-Up
information from the Data Station to the
Set-Up Disk:
• Calibration Factors
• QC Limits
• Patient Limits
• Customize display and printout selections
• Units Selection
