Patient Simulator

ELITechGroup offers the AC-111 Patient Simulator as an accessory to the
Nanoduct for those who wish to measure unknown samples as part of a
proficiency study or to verify or validate the function and accuracy of the
Nanoduct instrument. Contact ELITechGroup or your sales representative for
additional information.

Calibration Plate

NOTE: This instrument uses an extremely stable single set point calibration. The
calibration plate verifies that the instrument is functioning properly and allows for
recalibration when necessary.
The calibration plate has one calibration value, 80 mmol/L (equivalent NaCl) and
three control values: 40, 60, and 120 mmol/L (equivalent NaCl).

Instructions

1. Select "Check Controls" on the menu and press ENTER. Note that the date
and time indications are in the format yy-mm-dd hh:mm. Dates, times and
other data shown are for example purposes only. Actual data during use
varies.
2. The display shows the date and time when the last calibration was
performed. This information gets displayed for a few seconds. At the same
time, the calibration date and time gets sent to the serial port.
3. Connect the electrode cable assembly to the electrode socket.
4. Connect the sensor cell connector to the 80 CAL connection on the
calibration plate. The selected value shows corresponding mmol/L eq NaCl
±1.
5. Select "Calibrate" and press ENTER. The instrument calibrates to 80
mmol/L and displays "80 mmol/L eq NaCl" when completed.
