Adjust sensitivity
Adjust the sensitivity for the currently selected test strip. During using,
the sensitivity can be adjusted when the user wants to increase or
decrease the sensitivity of the analyzer.
When you set the sensitivity, must be careful, a valid setting is
recommended, you can use urine quality control materials or
homemade known content quality control substitutes. For example:
gradually dilute known content glucose, homemade PRO standard, use
standard of BLD, LEU with microscope, etc.
There are several problems should be pay attention to when use other
types of analyzers for comparison:
1.The test paper used by the analyzer made by which standard.
2.The mutual comparability of test strips which made by different
standards is very poor, the same control material test different test
papers get different results.
3.How is the repeatability of the analyzer, whether has evaluation
or self-evaluation.
4.How is the quality of the test paper which used by the analyzer,
in the case of the repeatability of the analyzer is excellent, whether the
repeatability of test paper is excellent.
