CELL-DYN ® 3200 System Operator's Manual
9140181H—October 2001
The CELL-DYN 3200 System has two modes of operation:
• Open Mode
• Closed Mode
Both the Open and Closed Modes are calibrated individually. It is recommended
that the primary mode (open mode) be calibrated first.
NOTE: The procedure for calibrating Closed Mode differs slightly between the
SL and CS models.
Three methods of calibration are available on the CELL-DYN 3200 System:
Auto-Calibration, Enter Factor, and Latex.
1. The Auto-Calibration method is designed to quickly and easily calibrate the
system, using commercial control material or fresh whole blood.
a. On the CS model, Auto-Calibration can be used in both the Open and
Closed Modes.
b. On the SL model, Auto-Calibration can be used only in the Open Mode.
The Enter Factor Method must be used to calibrate the Closed Mode.
2. The Enter Factor method is a manual procedure for calibrating the
instrument. With this method, Fresh Whole Blood is normally used but
Calibrator may also be used.
3. Latex material may also be used to calibrate the instrument but this procedure
should only be performed by Abbott service personnel.
