Congratulations. You have completed the Sysmex® CA-600 Series Analyzer Software Version 27 Update online training course. Listed below are the key points that have been presented. Take time to review the material before you proceed to the final quiz. Download and print a copy of the Course Review. Select Next to continue. The American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) is a Host Interface specification that the Sysmex® CA-600 Series Analyzer can utilize to communicate with a host computer. ASTM specifications have now expanded to include the transmission of traceability information which includes: Reagent Lot Standard curve measurement date Calibrator Lot Control Lot of the last QC measurement The Sysmex® CA-600 Series Analyzer can activate this new traceability function when the format output setting is set to "ASTM2". When the format output setting is set to "ASTM", conventional ASTM communication is performed. Select Next to continue. The CA-600 Series Analyzer now includes a shortened pre-measurement rinsing cycle. Pre-measurement rinsing with CA Clean II has decreased from a completion time of approximately 4 minutes to a completion time of approximately one minute and thirty seconds. Select Next to continue. The Sysmex® CA-600 Series Analyzer now has the ability to have multiple standard curves stored for an assay. The instrument will now allow for the measurement and storage of a new reagent lot standard curve while keeping the current reagent lot standard curve. This enhancement also includes changes to the Standard Curve screen.  Changes to the Standard curve screen include: The addition of two buttons for the extension standard curve storage number and standard curve converted value calculation function A two page standard curve configuration The placement of standard curve options to accommodate the two page standard curve configuration   Standard Curve Screen Learn about the additions to the standard curve screen. After selecting Standard Curve for the appropriate test parameter, the first page of the standard curve will appear showing 2 new buttons. STD File if selected, will show all standard curve files for the selected assay. More is a new button that if pressed, will allow the user to navigate to the second page of the standard curve screen. The second page of the standard curve screen has 4 options. Select Param. which is used to change the parameter settings of the selected test, has been moved to the second page of the standard curve screen from the original standard curve screen. STD Calc is a new button that will calculate a standard curve conversion based on the numeric value that is selected. In addition, a More button has also been added to the second page of the standard curve screen to allow the user to navigate back to the first page if needed. When complete, select the X in the upper right corner to close the window and continue. Standard Curve Files Learn about standard curve files. Element HTML File 1- Current Standard Curve File 2- Standard Curve of a New Lot File 3- Designated for testing File 4- Automatic Back-up of Current Standard Curve When complete, select the X in the upper right corner to close the window and continue. Sound File Audio ScriptThere can be up to four standard curves stored for each test parameter. The STD File button will allow the user to view all the standard curves associated with the assay selected. When selecting STD File, a new standard curve screen will appear showing the first standard curve file. To confirm the file number being viewed, the File number can be seen in the top right corner, showing the curve that is currently being viewed out of the 4 that can be stored. File one is designated for the current standard curve. File two is designated for the standard curve of a new lot. File three is designated for testing. and file four is an automatic backup file for the current standard curve. To load a standard curve as the current curve select the Load File button. To save a standard curve to its designated file select save when the user is in that file. Saving a standard curve in its designated file will overwrite previously existing standard curve in that file. When complete, select the X in the upper right corner to close the window and continue.   The Sysmex® CA-600 Series Analyzer now supports 1D barcode reading. This new feature allows the operator to directly scan the reagent vial. Scanning the reagent barcode will automatically input the reagent lot number. 1D Barcode Functionality Learn about 1D barcode scanning Checklist TitleChecklist TypeChecklist ContentLot No. EntryHTML From the Main Menu, select Standard Curve and then Lot No. Entry. Select each checkbox to learn more about 1D barcode scanning. Select ReagentHTML Select the reagent that needs to be scanned. Scan BarcodeHTML The reagent Lot No. screen will appear with a barcode scanner icon in the top right corner. If this icon is present the barcode on the reagent vial can be scanned. Register New Lot No.HTML Verify that the lot number scanned is correct. If correct, select Register. Save Lot No.HTML Select Enter to save lot number. Enter Expiration DateHTML Once the new lot number is saved, manually enter the expiration date and select Enter to save. When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue. QC data can now be printed by date range. This new feature will allow you to: Select QC range by start and end date Recalculate the mean Recalculate S.D. and C.V. Print QC using specified range Printing QC data by date range Learn about printing QC data by date range. Slide NumberText BlocksCalloutsAudio ScriptImage File1QC Control Print Screen The QC Control Print Screen now has additional navigation buttons. These newly added buttons include: Button Description Graph All Prints graph of the entire range Graph Dates Displays graph for specified dates List All Prints a list of the entire range List Dates Displays a list for specified dates Select Next to continue.Note: If audio does not automatically start, select the play arrow in the top left to begin. The QC Control Print Screen now has additional navigation buttons that will allow the operator to print QC data based on a specific date range or print all QC data. These newly added buttons include: Graph All, Graph Dates, List All, and List Dates. Select Next to continue.2Specified Dates Print Screen Selecting the Graph Dates or List Dates button will allow the operator to display and print data on a specified date range. A date range can be selected by entering: Start date and end date Start date only (end date will default to latest data) End date only (start date will default to the oldest data) Select Next to continue.The Graph Dates and List Dates button allows the operator to view and print QC data based on the start date and end date that is entered. When the operator initially goes into the Specified Dates Print screen the start and end date will be empty with dashes as placeholders. The operator will enter the specified dates with the keypad on the right side of the screen. How the dates are entered, depends on the date format that is set for the instrument. After entering each date, selecting enter will apply the date. If the operator enters the date in the incorrect format the value is not accepted and the date returns to what was previously there. Once a start date and end date have been entered, selecting set will display the Specified Date Print Confirm Screen. Select Next to continue.3Specified Dates Print Confirm Screen  The Specified Dates Print Confirm Screen will show: Start date and end date Recalculated Mean, SD and CV Number of QC data points  When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue.The Specified Dates Print Confirm Screen will show the operator the date range they selected, as well as the recalculated mean, SD, and CV on the specified period selected. This screen will also show the operator the number of QC data points within the selected date range. Once all information on this screen has been confirmed by the operator, selecting set will print the data. When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue.
