CALIBRATION PROCESS AND SYSTEM

摘要

An improved calibration process for a medical testing machine. The machine automatically recognizes that a package of calibration material has been inserted into it, and performs a calibration sequence to ascertain a calibration parameter to be used in performing future tests with the medical testing machine. The calibration package may include machine-readable indicators that the package is to be used for calibration, and of a calibration setpoint of a calibration material in the package. A calibration material may be stored in a lyophilized state in the package, and the medical testing machine may automatically reconstitute the lyophilized material.

主权项

1. A package of calibration material for calibrating a medical testing machine, the package of calibration material comprising:
two different materials, at least one of which is a calibration material; and a respective container for each of the materials, the containers being joined into a monolithic unit and maintaining separation between the materials before use of the calibration package.
