How do you complete the monthly Ref calibration? I've done the SG calibration, but I'm unsure how to go from there.

To complete the monthly S.G. (Ref) calibration for the Arkray AUTION MAX AX-4030:

1. Prepare the S.G. standard solutions:
- Use two solutions: Low standard (<1.002>) and High standard (1.040–1.050).
- Load them correctly into the sample rack.

2. Start the calibration:
- Press the Start button.
- The instrument measures the solutions when the sample rack reaches the aspirating position.

3. Wait for measurement:
- The screen shows “Measuring... Please wait...”.

4. Complete the calibration:
- Once done, the message “Measurement completed” appears.

5. Save the calibration values:
- Use the numeric keys (0–9) to input calibration values.
- Press OK to save.

Note: If calibration is stopped midway, all calibration results are aborted.

    AUTION MAX AX-4030 OPERATING MANUAL 1.1.4 Measurement Principle This instrument measures purpose-specific test strips by dual-wavelength reflectance measurement (single wavelength for BLD) and urine specific gravity (S.G.) by reflection refractometry. This section explains the principles for measuring “test strips”, “specific gravity”, “color”, and “turbidity”.
  • Page 18 AUTION MAX AX-4030 OPERATING MANUAL These reflectivities “R” are compared against calibration curves stored in the instrument and output as measurement results. Also, temperature is corrected to eliminate changes caused by environmental temperature. Specific Gravity (S.G.) Measurement Specific gravity of a urine sample is obtained by measuring the refraction of the sample using a prism and subjecting results to a calculation formula (reflection refractometry).
