Calibration should be performed when the quality control runs are showing values
consistently out of range and it has been determined that the analyzer is not in need
of cleaning and the quality control material itself is not degraded. Use only the Abaxis
Normal HM5 Control for calibration. Allow the control to come to room temperature by
setting it on the counter for 15 minutes before use. Do not calibrate with controls that are
expired or have been open for more than 14 days.

Calibrating the Analyzer
1. From the Home Screen, touch
Maintenance, Calibration then Measure.
2. Accept settings for Prediluted [No] and
Cal Sampling Depth [-2mm].
3. If calibration is being performed with the
same lot number last used for quality
control, touch Copy. If not, manually enter
the target values from the control package
insert. Touch Accept.
4. Run Cal three or more times in a row,
following the mixing instructions displayed
in between each run. The analyzer will
calculate the average of the 3+ sample runs.
5. Touch Calibrate at the bottom of the
screen after the 3+ runs have completed.
6. Accept the new coefficients displayed on
the Calibration Results Screen. If any error
messages pop-up during calibration, call

3
sure the calibration was successful and all
values are now within range.
