3.5.2 Controls and Calibrators
The controls and calibrators are used to verify accurate operation and calibration of the analyzer.
The controls are suspension of simulated animal blood, specifically manufactured to monitor and
evaluate the analysis precision of the analyzer. The controls are prepared with three levels, namely
low, normal and high. Daily use of all levels verifies the operation of the analyzer and ensures
reliable results are obtained. The calibrators are commercially prepared whole-blood products used
to calibrate some parameters (WBC, RBC, HGB, MCV and PLT etc.) of analyzer to build the
metrological traceability of analysis results. For the use and storage of controls and calibrators,
please refer to the Instruction for Use of each product.
All references related to controls in this manual refer to the “controls” and “calibrators” specifically

calibrators from Mindary Animal Medical or Mindary Animal Medical-authorized distributors.
