Piccolo Procedure

I volunteer at a free clinic and we just acquired a Piccolo. We are in the process of doing the test validation.
We would like to do the training very soon but I would like to have a copy of the procedure.
It is an easy instrument to run but would like to present all the paperwork to our volunteer CLIA director.
Does anyone have a Procedure you can share so I do not have to re-type the procedure?
I found a PDF procedure but I cannot copy it. I can only read it.
Thank you all for any notes and tips you can give.
I would appreciate and thanks in advance, if you can send a copy to me to my email: PManiquis@primehealthcare.com

It is nice not to reinvent everything to get started on a new instrument.
The Comparison to the Reference Lab was not the best. It takes a long time between drawing sample and running it at the reference lab. The storage requirement by the reference lab was room temperature. That is what we have to deal with at the clinic. I am sure there are a lot of factors that affected the results. Not done side by side like you would at a hospital or laboratory setting.
Tech Support suggested Calibration material to use for Precision studies. The results results are good but can someone tell me what QC material you use for your Piccolo. I am sure the calibrator material was more expensive.
Any suggestion will be most appreciated, pros/cons .
Quality Control See Section 2.4 of the Piccolo blood chemistry analyzer Operator’s Manual or Section 6 (Calibration and Quality Control) of the Piccolo Xpress chemistry analyzer Operator’s Manual. Performance of the Piccolo blood chemistry analyzer or the Piccolo Xpress chemistry analyzer can be verified by running controls. For a list of approved quality control materials with acceptance ranges, please contact Abaxis Technical Support. Other human serum or plasma-based controls may not be compatible. Quality control materials should be stored as per the package-insert included with the controls
We have not gone LIVE yet. Still fine tuning details.
But I am trying to find QC material and not calibrator material to use.
