CAUTION
Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a licensed healthcare
professional.
Safety data sheets (SDS) available on siemens.com/healthineers.
Contains sodium azide as a preservative. Sodium azide can react with copper or lead plumbing
to form explosive metal azides. On disposal, flush reagents with a large volume of water to
prevent buildup of azides. Disposal into drain systems must be in compliance with prevailing
regulatory requirements.
Dispose of hazardous or biologically contaminated materials according to the practices of your
institution. Discard all materials in a safe and acceptable manner and in compliance with
prevailing regulatory requirements.
Note For information about calibrator preparation, refer to Preparing the Calibrators.
Storage and Stability
Unopened calibrators are stable until the expiration date on the product when stored at
2–8°C. Opened stability is 60 days when recapped immediately after use and stored at 2–8°C.
For information about storage and stability of materials in the Cal‑QC tube storage area, refer
to the supplementary document “Atellica Sample Handler Calibrator and QC Storage and
Stability.”
Do not use products beyond the expiration date printed on the product labeling.
Performing Calibration
Calibration Frequency
Follow government regulations or accreditation requirements for calibration frequency.
Individual laboratory quality control programs and procedures may require more frequent
calibration.
For information about calibration frequency, refer to the assay instructions for use.
Preparing the Calibrators
Calibrators are liquid and ready to use. Mix by gentle inversion at least five (5) times to ensure
homogeneity prior to use.
Calibration Procedure
Use the following lot‑specific materials to perform calibration:
• For the calibrator definitions, refer to the lot‑specific value sheet provided with
the calibrator materials.
• Generate lot‑specific barcode labels to use with the calibrator samples, if necessary.
For instructions about how to perform the calibration procedure, refer to the online help.
