General recommendations on calibration
The calibration on HORIBA ABX instruments is an exceptional procedure, which must be
carried out particularly in case of certain technical interventions (installation, mainte-
nance, service intervention). The calibration should not be carried out to compensate a
drift on a result due for example to a clogging of the instrument.
Running control blood
Mix the sample gently and thoroughly.
Remove the cap from the sample tube.
Place the sample beneath the sample probe.
Raise up the tube so that the sample probe lowers into the blood, and press the manual sam-
ple bar or press the «Startup» key.
The analysis cycle will begin.
If any results are out of their acceptable ranges, perform the following steps:
1- Rerun the Control blood.
2- Clean the system, see Section 6,
3- Open a new vial of control material.
4- Call your local HORIBA ABX Technical support representative before re-Calibrating the system.
