Chapter 3 Calibration
3.1 Overview of calibration

Calibration is performed to maintain the accuracy of the system. Calibration compensates variances of the air
pressure system, fluid system and electrical system, which affect the accuracy of analysis results.
Calibrator calibration
A special calibrator is used to calibrate the instrument.
Manually analyze the same calibrator 11 times, and check the repeatability and accuracy of the analysis
parameters.
At the same time, the compensation rate can be updated.
Precision check
Check the instrument's repeatability using a normal sample.
Note:
• Before performing calibration, check the level of the reagent connected to the instrument.
If the reagent runs out, calibration will stop.
• The following sample numbers are automatically assigned by the analyzer.
• Calibrator calibration: CAL-CAL-01 to CAL-CAL-11
• Precision check: PRE-CHK-01 to PRE-CHK-11
3.1.1 Calibration standards

The initial calibration is done by your Sysmex technical representative, at the time of installation.
Perform calibration when needed; for example, when the QC data fluctuates. However, if the abnormality in the
QC analysis data is caused by an error in the analyzer, degradation of the reagent, or degeneration of the
control blood, do not perform calibration.
75/110
3.1.2 Calibrators and samples to be used

Use the following calibrators and samples for calibrator calibration and precision check.
● Calibrator calibration
XN CAL: use for WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT, and PLT calibration.
● Precision check
For a precision check, use fresh normal blood that meets the following requirements.
• Blood of a healthy person who is not taking any medicine
• Blood with an appropriate amount of anticoagulant added
• Whole blood volume of 2.0 mL or more per sample
Information
Control blood is not suitable for calibrator calibration. Control blood is intended for quality control, not for
calibration.
3.1.3 Main calibration functions

The instrument supports the following calibration functions.

Chapter 5 IP Messages
5.1 Overview of IP messages

When analysis data is analyzed, information that supplements the Positive/Negative sample judgment appears in the
[Data Browser] screen.
Results without an analysis error are classified as Positive or Negative based on preset criteria. The system judges
flags for analysis data based on comprehensive surveys of numerical data, distributions and scattergrams, and
provides easily-to-understand messages indicating the results. These messages are referred to as "IP (Interpretive
Program) messages".
IP messages appear in the flag display area in the following screen.
• Sample information tab in the [Sample Explorer] screen
• [Main] tab in the [Data Browser] screen
• [Graph] tab in the [Data Browser] screen
Caution!
• A Positive or Error judgment indicates the possibility of an abnormality. It is not a diagnosis of the patient.
If a Positive or Error judgment occurs, check the data and repeat the analysis, or examine carefully in
accordance with the protocol of your laboratory.
• IP messages are only intended for use in the clinical laboratory and are not for patient diagnosis. IP
messages provide notification of the possibility of a specific sample abnormality based on examination of
the analysis data.
Positive/Negative judgment
Flag display area
[Main] tab in the [Data Browser] screen
101/110
● Message types
There are 2 types of IP messages that may be displayed for WBC, RBC, and PLT: abnormal messages and
suspect messages.
Abnormal messages Indicates that the sample is clearly abnormal.

With some exceptions, the criteria for abnormal message judgment can be
preset.
Suspect messages Indicates a possibility that the sample is abnormal.
● Positive/Negative judgment
[Positive] Indicates that a blood cell analysis value or cell morphology exceeds the preset
criteria for the IP message (abnormal sample).
Displayed on a red background.
A Positive judgment is classified into the 3 types shown below. Touch [Positive]
to display a dialog box.
[Diff. Abnormal]: Indicates an abnormal blood cell differentiation value.
[Morph. Abnormal]: Indicates an abnormal cell morphology.
[Count Abnormal]: Indicates an abnormal blood cell count.
[Negative] Indicates that there were no analysis errors or abnormalities, and that there is no
IP message (normal sample).
Displayed on a green background.
Note:
Only Positive judgment is performed for analysis in [Pre-Dilution] mode. Negative judgment is not performed.
102/110
With respect to the following IP messages, when a sample judgment is Positive, the analysis results are regarded as
having low reliability due to the abnormality, and " * " is displayed to the right of the data or "- - - -" which is a data
mask indicating non-analyzable is displayed.

5.3 IP message judgment conditions and judgment methods

In the following cases, IP message judgment is not performed.
• QC analysis data
• Calibration analysis data
• Blank data
• Background check data
• Insufficient blood volume
• Adjustment
Blank data
Blank data is data that meets all of the following conditions:
• WBC < 1.00 x 103/μL
• RBC < 0.30 x 106/μL
• HGB < 1.0 g/dL
• PLT < 20 x 103/μL
● Judgment methods
WBC < 0.50 x 103/μL Judgment for a WBC suspect message ([Left Shift?]) is not performed.
(In [Pre-Dilution] mode, when WBC < 0.20 x 103/μL.)
RBC < 0.50 x 106/μL IP message judgment for RBC other than [RBC Abn Distribution] is not performed.
This is displayed as [RBC Abn Distribution], even if analysis of RBC was not
specified.
• If an error or other condition prevents an analysis parameter necessary for judgment from being calculated
("- - - -" or "+ + + +" is displayed), judgments including that parameter will not be performed.
• Parameters for which the user has not specified that analysis be performed (blank " ") are not used for
judgment.
● Analysis in [Pre-Dilution] mode

For IP messages judged in analysis in [Pre-Dilution] mode, see the following.
(➤P.108 "● Table of IP message judgments")
Only Positive judgment is performed; Negative judgment is not performed.
