READY FOR NEXT CALSPECIMENPress [NEXT SPECIMEN] to run the next sample.Calibration Factor CalculationAs each run of a whole blood sample is completed, a Calibration Factoris calculated and updated. This factor is displayed in the column labeled.The column labeled contains the average of thecalibration factors for all whole blood samples used in the calibration.The number in parentheses after mean factor indicates the number ofsamples used to compute that mean factor.The column displays the difference between thecalibration factor currently in the instrument and the mean factorcomputed by the Auto-Cal program.When all runs of all whole blood samples have been completed, themessage:NEW CAL FACTOR COMPUTED – READY FOR ACCEPTANCEis displayed on the bulletin line.1. Press [PREVIOUS SPECIMEN] and/or [NEXT SPECIMEN] toreview and/or print the results of all whole blood samples that wereanalyzed.NOTE: These results are only available for review (andprintout) before the [ACCEPT MEANS] key is pressed.2.
