The CELL-DYN 1700/1800 Software* Training Simulator is designed to provide a “realistic” experience of navigating within the analyzers software menus.
*NOTE: The simulated software version presented is not an exact replica of the software found on the CELL-DYN 1000 series instruments but is a representation for training purposes only.
The Software Simulation begins on Page 6.
NAVIGATION TIPS:
To navigate through the simulation use the active links outlined in red.
The MAIN soft key returns to the Main Menu.
The RETURN soft key returns to the Submenu from which the soft key was accessed.
Not all soft key function is available in this simulation.
Use this button to return to the indicated menu screen.
Page numbers are for documentation purposes only and not for navigation.
RECOMMENDATION: For the optimal training simulation experience, Do NOT use your keyboard to navigate through the software simulation. Use the links or follow the navigation information displayed on the screen.

80. Quality Control
For the purposes of this simulation, only the X-B and Replicates menus are available.
Note: The Quality Control Menu provides access to the files for each level of control: Low, Normal, and High.
Prior to running a control specimen the Operator selects the file for inclusion. Each time a QC specimen is run, the mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation for each parameter are calculated and updated automatically in each file.

81. X-B Data
Note: The X-B File is used to display and print data and graphs for the red blood cell indices: MCV, MCH, and MCHC, including the date and time for each batch. The X-B algorithm provides a means of utilizing this information for quality control purposes. Refer to the CELL-DYN® Operator’s Manual for additional information.

82. X-B Graphs

83. Replicate File
Note: Replicate files contain specific specimen records that were selected for inclusion in a particular replicate file prior to running those specimens To select a file the Operator uses the arrow keys to highlight the file prior to running the specimen.

91. Reject Specimen Return to Replicate File #1
Note: The Operator can accept, reject, or delete the specimen indicated by the flashing cursor. When a specimen has been rejected an “R” is placed after the sequence # field and the specimen is removed from statistical calculation. If the same specimen is accepted, the “R” is removed and the specimen is included in the statistical calculations.

92. Purge QC Log
Note: When a control or replicate file has been selected (file name is shown on the upper left of the screen), the Operator can purge data from the file. Pressing CONFIRM PURGE completes the purge. Pressing CANCEL PURGE cancels the purge. Once CONFIRM PURGE is pressed, data in the file is permanently erased.
Confirm Purge is not available in this simulation.
