This document describes procedures for verifying the performance of centrifuges used in a blood bank laboratory. It outlines calibration tests to check the speed, time, and temperature accuracy of different centrifuge models, including microhematocrit, sero-fuge, serological, and refrigerated centrifuges. Test results are recorded and interpreted to determine optimal centrifugation times. A performance report is generated and calibration labels are affixed to ensure centrifuges maintain proper functioning.

Having a personal computer qualified and trained Verification Centrifuges C.N.T.S. Objective Keeping in good equipment. Possible errors related to the operation of the equip ment. 4. Verify the operation of the centrifuges to ensure that the processes of spin in different procedures performed are adequate. 2. 3. Verification Centrifuges C.N.T.S.

Definitions Calibration function: Verification reaction or production of goods that each spin is carried out, so that the proce dure is different for each type. centrifugation Best time: Getting the best pr oduct in the shortest time. Verification Centrifuges C.N.T.S. Basis The speed of the centrifuges is verified directly with a Photo Tachometer operat es under the principle of recognition of contrasts (difference between light and dark). To measure any object in motion (the centrifugal rotor), you must attach a contrasting surface (a piece of foil). Verification Centrifuges C.N.T.S. Basis Photo Tachometer The light beam is directed toward this brand, and turning each time the mark passes under the beam, the reflection of the contrasting light act ivates the Photo Tachometer photocell, which can be read directly on the compute r screen as RPM . Verification C.N.T.S. Centrifuges Mechanical Calibration Watches: Choose at least three times by centrifugation, the most usual Put i nto operation simultaneously, the clock of the centrifuge and the reference time r At the end of scheduled time to note the difference between the two clocks Repeat the above two points, two Calculate times the average of three reading s Verification C.N.T.S. Centrifuges Mechanical Calibration Rate: Cut a piece of foil about 2 cm. Hold the foil with tape on the top of the head or the centrifuge rotor Turn on the centrifuge uncovered Direct the beam of Photo Tachometer towards the area where the surface is reflective, with an angle of inclination of 45 °, at a distance of 20 cm approx. Verification C.N.T.S. Centrifuges Mechanical Calibration Wait until the reading is Photo Tachometer Record the reading stabilized, recording the Photo Tachometer Repeat 2 more this measurement Calculate the average of three readings as the rotating speed of the centrifuge rotor RPM Verification C.N.T.S. Centrifuges Mechanical Calibration Temperature: Turn on the centrifuge and set the working temperature Wait unt il the centrifuge reached Place set temperature inside the centrifuge with its temperature sensor, the sensor of a certified digital thermometer, taking care not to touch any metal part Verification C.N.T.S. Centrifuges Mechanical Calibration Close the lid of the centrifuge and NO OPERATING THE ROTOR, wait 10 min. Record the temperature at the thermometer th at registers the certificate and compare it with the temperature of the centrifu ge screen Make three readings with the temperature. Verification C.N.T.S.
