1. An automated system for evaluating an infection status associated with a blood sample obtained from an individual, the automated system comprising:
a transducer operable to measure a control material as the control material passes through an aperture, the control material comprising a first cell population and a second cell population, wherein the first cell population is different from the second cell population;
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a plurality of instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the automated system to:
obtain current data for the control material,
calculate a first value, wherein the first value is a distribution width value of the first cell population,
calculate a second value, wherein the second value is a distribution width value of the second cell population,
perform a first comparison for a hematology parameter by comparing the first value to a first reference range for the hematology parameter,
perform a second comparison for the hematology parameter by comparing the second value to a second reference range for the hematology parameter, and
classify an operational status of the automated system based on the first comparison and the second comparison.
