Packaging
1. The calibrant fluid pack is sealed in a foil pouch filled with protective gases.
2. The bar code on the foil pouch contains information such as the lot number and expiration
date.
3. Each calibrant fluid pack is packaged into a box, and 6 boxes are packaged into a shipping
carton.
Storage and Usage
Calibrant fluid packs should be stored at 2 - 8°C (avoid freezing) with the ambient pressure of 65
- 106.6kPa, and should be used at 10 - 31°C with the relative humidity of 25% - 80%
(non-condensing). The calibrant fluid pack expires 30 days after its installation or after exceeding
the labeled expiration date, whichever comes first. The remaining days and usages are displayed
on the status bar at the bottom of the screen.
NOTE:
 If the pouch has been damaged or there is any leakage, the calibrant fluid pack
should not be used.
 Only those calibrant fluid packs provided by EDAN or its authorized distributors
should be used.
 Use calibrant fluid packs before their expiration date as labeled on the package.
 A calibrant fluid pack is intended for single use only. If a calibrant fluid pack is
removed from the system, it cannot be inserted into the system again.
2.4.8 Bar Code Scanner
On the same side as the calibrant fluid pack chamber is the built-in scanner for scanning bar
codes on test cartridges, calibrant fluid packs, controls, operator ID, patient ID, sample ID, etc.
The analyzer can also be connected to external scanners as mentioned in 2.4.11.
Follow the steps below to scan a bar code:
1. Press Scan Barcode or to activate the bar code scanner, and the scanner will emit a red
beam.
2. Align the bar code with the red beam so that the red beam covers the whole bar code.
