To check the compatibility of barcodes label and the device, a Barcode test can
performed. Place a sample tube with barcode label in the sample holder and start
the test under main menu/device settings/barcode/test.

4.4 Calibration

The device calibrates iself using multi standard solutions with a known concentra-
tion. All measurements are related to this calibration and three calibration modes
can be selected to control the calibration functions. The multi standard solution
must be obtained from EKF-diagnostic GmbH in ready-to-use form (see section
10.1).
Place the multi standard solution in the STD1 or STD2 position (see Figure 1).
The desired calibration mode can be set in the main menu/device settings/calibra-
tion mode:
"Before Measurement"
The device calibrates itself before every measurement starts. In the home screen
the following is always displayed: "Ready Calibration required"
"Periodic"
The device calibrates itself automatically every 60 min. At measurement start the
samples are measured immediately. In the home screen the following is displayed:
"Ready Next calibration in xx min", where xx stands for the time until the
next automatic calibration. If the calibration time runs out while samples are still
being measured, the sample measurement is interrupted, and continued after
successful calibration.
If a calibration was not successful, an error message appears. This needs to be
confirmed then the device changes to the Ready state. The home screen now
shows "Ready Calibration required". At measurement start a calibration takes
place first.
The label must be stuck centered to the
Name:
hinge axis, vertically and without folds.
The label must not come off,
particularly in the upper area, hence
press it on firmly.
