Clarification of the way instrument qualification is to be performed.

2.7.18  Assay of human coagulation factor II                                   

EDTA has been removed from the dilution buffer because its presence has been reported to inhibit the ecarin-dependent coagulation factor II activation and cause a decrease in the sensitivity and precision of the assay.
