This may vary depending on how often the device is used, by how many operators it is used, the aggressivity of the liquids used and the maximum permissible errors defined by the operator. The dispensing tools of your device will display after 200,000 runs that an inspection is recommended. However, there should be at least 1 calibration per year.
