Calibration of the tHb channel is required every 3
months. This calibration is performed using the tHb
Calibrator Cassette and veries the measurement
optics and electronics and corrects any potential
drift. The tHb Calibrator Cassette can be found in the
storage compartment in the back of your analyzer.

on the calibrator cassette package by holding it
2-3 inches (5-8 cm) from the bar code scanner
located on the bottom right-hand corner of the
analyzer (Fig. 7-3).
