The loading area can hold up to 200 sample tubes at
a time. The STAT position provides and option for a
faster blood count. The whole CAL 8000 can be
started by just pressing one button.
The touch screen is the “brain” of CAL 8000. It
optimizes the distribution of workload between
each BC-6800 unit and decides which sample
requires a blood smear. It displays the status of each
BC-6800 or SC-120 installed on CAL 8000 as well as
the volume of balance reagent. This intuitive
software could tell the users all necessary
information of CAL 8000 at any given time.
Consequently, the users spend less time operating
CAL 8000 and can arrange their working schedule
better.
The special tube racks utilize different barcodes to
differentiate specific usages, such as “QC”, “Slide
making & staining only” and “RET test only”. The
special tube racks could carry the tubes to perform
these specific functions through the simplest way.
All reagents as well as the pneumatic unit could
be set in the trolley below respective BC-6800 or
SC-120. In this manner, the reagents and
pneumatic unit could be well organized
permitting easy reagent replacement.
Repeat: repeat the previous
test (in case of some system
errors)
Rerun: keep the previous test
result, and rerun the sample in
same test mode (for suspect
results)
Reflex: add some test items
such as “NRBC” or “PLT-O” (in
case of suspected results for
the parameters)
The CAL 8000 can automatically
distribute the samples with “Repeat”,
“
Rerun” and “Reflex” criteria which are
pre-defined by users.
